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.
