Coverage: Respondents who took some post-secondary education between January 2008 and December 2009.
Note: This variable was derived from the variables: C5OPENI, IEF, DSPRMD6, DSPRYD6, (DSAINMD5 and DSAINYD5 from cycle 5).

Indicates the date a respondent started a post-secondary program at this institution either on a full-time or a part-time basis prior to January 2010.

Institution level derived variables refer to respondent's participation at an institution for a specific time frame. Due to the manner in which information is collected, it is possible for respondents to report attendance at the same institution more than once within a cycle and between cycles. For this reason, for analyses that address respondent's participation at a particular institution over time, researchers should use the institution code in addition to the institution level variables.
