Student transitions and adjustments in Canadian post secondary education

Three interviews of the same respondents; in the springs of 2000, 2002, and 2004; form the three cycles of the YITS-B. [...] The following adjustment was done to include Quebec students in the sample of students whose first program is a bachelors level program at a university. [...] As for the outcomes of the second programs, over 85% of the students in above bachelors level programs were still continuers by the end of cycle 3, which is to be expected given the time required to completed those programs. [...] All of the other variables refer to the period of the students’ first program so they are taken from and refer to whatever cycle is appropriate. [...] The PSE financing variables show big differences across the various sources of funding compared to the implicit alternative that students are paying the cost of PSE out of their current.
