The following institutions, previously colleges, have now the status of universities and are included in the 2008 counts for British Columbia. These are: Capilano University, Vancouver Island University, Emily Carr University of Art and Design, Kwantlen Polytechnic University and University of the Fraser Valley. Counts for qualifications awarded were revised from 2004 to 2007. Also, the graduates for the Institut de pastorale des Dominicains were removed for 2006 and 2007 data. Due to the revision of the institutions in the survey, the following are not included in the 2008/2009 data: in Ontario, Institut de pastorale des Dominicains, Tyndale University College and Seminary, Redeemer University College, Royal Military College of Canada; in Alberta, Newman Theological College; in British Columbia, Vancouver School of Theology, Trinity Western University, and Seminary of Christ the King. For University of Regina, qualifications awarded since 2005 are not available. The 2004 qualifications awarded for University of Alberta have been updated. For Quebec institutions, qualifications awarded do not include micro programs and attestations. The Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) 2000 codes assigned to programs are under review for 2008 for all Quebec and Alberta institutions, as well as Thompson Rivers University, Capilano University, Vancouver Island University, Emily Carr University of Art and Design, Kwantlen Polytechnic University and University of the Fraser Valley.
