This module contains information with respect to on individual's experience during the first year of PSE. For many of the respondents, this would simply be the first institution above the high school level that they have attended. However, based on information already obtained during the YITS cycle 1 data collection, it was found that students attending CEGEP institutions and students attending NON-CEGEP institutions (e.g., university, community college outside of Quebec, etc) have two distinct postsecondary experiences (in terms of cost and distance away from home). This motivated the decision to attempt to collect two sets of postsecondary engagement questions for students studying in Quebec (1 CEGEP and 1 first non-CEGEP).
The information in this module is not available for Cohort A in Cycle 1. From Cycle 2 to Cycle 4, data are stored in a Roster Codebook "Post Secondary Engagement Roster". Roster file is used to store events that have happened many times to a given longitudinal respondent over time.
