Description
Full Load Equivalent (FLE) is a measure used so that we can make comparable calculations across different institutions, across different programs. The FLE is measured by taking the load of the student enrolled (instructional hours + practicum hours) and dividing by the full load of that program. This results in a comparable metric to be able to use across the system. The FLE calculation is consistent for every institution and program. Field of study is reported using the CIP (Classification of Instructional Programs) 2011 code value assigned to each program and specialization. CIP codes are used to classify like programs based on the instructional content of the program/specializations. This dataset will show the FLE measure by each 2 digit CIP code by Academic Year.

Usage Considerations
Data continuity
- In 2013-14, Innovation and Advanced Education introduced a new reporting application. This resulted in some data conversions and updated full-time/part-time calculations. As a result of these changes, the data in the above table may not align with previous data pulls.
- In the summer of 2019, Alberta adopted a new Alberta Credential Framework (ACF) as related to program attributes. As such, some values/attributes in this file may not align with subsequent releases of this information. For more information on the ACF, see this link: https://open.alberta.ca/publications/alberta-credential-framework
- In 2018, following a review of the Roles and Mandates Policy Framework, the names of some of the six sectors were updated. As a result of these changes, the data in the above table may not align to subsequent data pulls. Additional information can be found online here: https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/cf437f7d-e822-470f-9d9d-35a218f345e6/resource/07b9ff83-5a59-4b2f-837c-bb69da0ea6f1/download/roles-and-mandates-policy-framework-for-albertas-adult-learning-system.pdf
Additional usage notes
- Banff Centre does not offer certificate, degree or diploma programs. As a result, no data for Banff Centre is listed.
- Program completions include completions in certificate, degree and diploma programs only.
- As the Journeyman program type is a certificate credential, students completing their final instructional portion in their apprenticeship program are included in the values above.
- In 2013-14, Innovation and Advanced Education introduced a new reporting application. This resulted in some data conversions and updated full-time/part-time calculations. As a result of these changes, the data in the table may not align with previous data pulls.
- Academic years are related to each individual institution, and generally run from May through April or July through June. The data is submitted at the end of each academic year, and then requires a rigorous review and sign off, meaning there is a time lag of approximately one year before data is updated.
Institutional Related Notes:
- University of Alberta assumed responsibility for Augustana University College on July 1, 2004. For comparison purposes, all values in this data set have been included in the university count.
- In September 2009 the Lieutenant Governor in Council changed the name of Grant MacEwan College and Mount Royal College to Grant MacEwan University and Mount Royal University. All values in this data set have been listed with the current name.
- On May 3, 2007, Alliance University College and Canadian Nazarene University College merged to become Ambrose University College. All values in this data set have been listed with the current name.
- On June 30, 2009, Taylor University College and Seminary became Taylor College and Seminary and ceased offering undergraduate academic baccalaureate programs, meaning no enrolments will be reported as of 2009-10.
