Alberta Post-Secondary Student Headcounts by Institution and Year

Headcount enrolment within the Alberta post-secondary education system provides statistics on unique learners by institution and academic year. The Government of Alberta publishes these data tables for enrolments in approved programs at publicly-funded institutions. Separate files focus on system-level totals or subsets for international and self-identified Indigenous learners.

Use Cases

• Analyze enrolment trends over time based on academic year data
• Compare student populations across different institutions
• Study the proportion of international learners based on the dedicated subset file
• Investigate Indigenous student enrolment patterns based on the dedicated subset file
• Assess overall system capacity based on system-level totals

Strengths

• Data is published by the Government of Alberta, an authoritative source
• Separate data files exist for focused analysis of international and Indigenous learners
• Data is updated regularly, with a last update timestamp of 2026-04-17

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
