| Note: The reconciliation of data is not completed yet for University of Saskatchewan for 2008/2009; for University of British Columbia, for years 2006/2007 to 2008/2009. The following institutions, previously colleges, have now the status of universities and are included in the 2008/2009 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. Enrolments counts were revised from 2004/2005 to 2007/2008. Also, the enrolments for the Institut de pastorale des Dominicains were removed from the 2006/2007 and 2007/2008 data. For University of Regina, enrolments since 2005/2006 are not available. Due to a revision of the institutions in the survey, the following are not included in the 2008/2009 data : in New Brunswick, Bethany Bible College; 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, Regent College, Vancouver School of Theology, Trinity Western University, and Seminary of Christ the King. For University of Saskatchewan, the definition of full-time and part-time enrolments has changed: the registration status for enrolments in 2008/2009 refers to the September to December period. In the previous years, it referred to the September to April period. As well, their residency enrolments in the health-related programs are not included in the 2008/2009 counts. The Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) 2000 codes assigned to programs are under review for 2008/2009 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. Field of study was updated for years 1999/2000 to 2007/2008 for some institutions. Source: Statistics Canada, CANSIM, table 477-0013. Last modified: 2010-07-14. | |||||
