Mobility Reports

Examine student mobility reports for member institutions

Student mobility reports help ACAT and its partner institutions identify how Alberta students progress through the post-secondary system, including their use of admission and transfer opportunities.

Led by the ACAT Secretariat and supported by Operational Data and Information in Advanced Education, Student Mobility Reports are developed for the system as a whole, the sectors, and for specific institutions. Information is taken from the Government of Alberta’s most recent, complete Learner and Enrolment Reporting System (LERS) system data set for Alberta's publicly funded institutions. These reports measure:

Institution and Sector Student Enrolment Flows into, within and out of Alberta’s public post-secondary institutions and six sectors for a given academic year.
Student Yearly Enrolment Tracks in public post-secondary institutions by academic year (for up to 6 years).
System-Wide Student Mobility, which provides an overall view of student mobility in Alberta.
