• Welcome to one of the step-by-step user guides
  for the Alberta Council on Admissions and
  Transfers (ACATs) first three new Student
  Mobility Reports!
• The new reports contain information regarding
  student enrolment flow and tracking for public
  post-secondary institutions and the six sectors
  in Alberta.
• These reports use Learner and Enrolment Reporting
  System (LERS) system data, which has been signed
  off by public post-secondary institutions,
  supporting easy access to existing data. LERS
  system data includes data regarding all approved
  programs reported in LERS by publicly funded
  post-secondary institutions in Albertas six
  sectors.

• The first three new mobility reports are
• Institution and Sector Student Enrolment Flow
  reports, which provide student enrolment flows
  into, within, and out of Albertas public
  post-secondary institutions and six sectors for a
  given academic year. These reports target the
  most recent, complete LERS system data set
  available (inflow to and outflow from the
  2010/2011 cohort year).
• A Student Yearly Enrolment Track by
  Post-Secondary Institution report, which provides
  tracking of student enrolment in public
  post-secondary institutions by academic year.
  This report looks back six years from the most
  current, valid LERS data available for a student
  cohort (2011/2012 cohort year).
• Report updates will occur on a yearly basis as
  new LERS data is available and will maintain
  consistent templates.
