Reports
This section contains reports, statistics and charts from the Student Information System (SIS). These resources vary from static, previously created reports, to interactive reports allowing the user to select criteria and create a dynamic report from live data.
Due to the nature of some information, different levels of accessibility exist. Some reports are for general public use, while for more sensitive data you will be required to log on for access.
Details of student applications/enrolment, course/program registration and gender distribution are among the data resources available from the left-hand navigation menu. The number and types of reports is expected to grow and become more diverse.
If you require information or have any comments/suggestions related to these reports please contact the Reporting Group – Student Information Systems.
