Enrolments in universities of technology and comprehensive universities have been assessed to discover the degree of association among these institutions. The results revealed a significant degree of association in some cases, whereas relatively low correlation was found as well as no correlations were also noticed. High correlations among enrolments in the institutions of the South Africa higher education system, may be misleading in the pursuit of predicting enrolments of one university from another one. These correlations were found to be spurious and in majority were not significant.
