Note: For Quebec and Alberta institutions and University of Northern British Columbia, the Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) 2000 codes assigned to programs are under review. Counts of university degrees, diplomas and certificates granted for 2002 and 2003 have increased because of the inclusion of qualifications awarded at the Ontario College of Art and Design. For University of Regina, enrolments since 2005/2006 and qualifications awarded since 2005 are not available. For Quebec institutions, qualifications awarded do not include micro programs and attestations. The 2004 qualifications awarded for University of Alberta are preliminary estimates and are expected to be updated with the next release. The reconciliation of 2007/2008 data for U. of Nipissing, U. of Windsor, U. of Manitoba, U. of Northern British Columbia and U. of British Columbia are not yet completed. Program level was updated for years 1998/1999 to 2006/2007 for Dalhousie University, U. of Manitoba and St. Mary's University College. Counts for qualifications awarded were revised from 2004 to 2006 for Atlantic School of Theology, Alliance University College, Canadian Nazarene University College, St. Mary's University College, Simon Fraser University and U. of British Columbia. Field of study was updated for years 1998/1999 to 2006/2007 for several institutions. Source: Statistics Canada, CANSIM, table (for fee) 477-0014. Last modified: 2010-02-11.
