Centre for Education Statistics
April 2014

Completed questionnaire must be returned by June 14, 2013

If you require further information or assistance in completing this questionnaire, please do not hesitate to contact Nicole Paquin at (613) 951- 4311 (Nicole.Paquin@statcan.gc.ca).

I. Introduction

A. Description

The Tuition and Living Accommodation Costs for Full-time Students at Canadian Degree-granting Institutions Survey was developed to provide student financial information (tuition fees and living accommodation costs) on all universities and degree-granting colleges in Canada.

This information:

  • gives stakeholders, the public and students an annual guide to tuition costs as well as providing information on trends in tuition fees;
  • contributes to a better understanding of the student financial position for that level of education;
  • helps in the development of policies in this sector;
  • is used to calculate the Consumer Price Index;
  • facilitates interprovincial comparisons;
  • facilitates comparisons across institutions.

B. Reference period

The actual cycle of this survey is for the 2013-2014 academic year.

C. Population

The target population is all public degree-granting institutions (universities and colleges) in Canada.

Please note that the survey is targeting institutions that have degree granting status for the school year 2013-2014. Institutions that do not have degree granting status should be excluded, even if they provide portions of programs that lead to a degree granted by another institution. The survey is being limited to institutions whose operations are primarily funded by provincial governments. Institutions without any grants from the Education department (and those who receive Grants from the Health department only) are not included.

Note: For universities participating for the first time and for colleges and university-colleges offering degrees, please fill in the questionnaire for degree programs only (not for other certificate or diploma programs offered).

D. Field of study

The fields of study classification for both graduate and undergraduate programs are adapted from the Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) 2000, Statistics Canada's standard for field of study classification. The CIP's structure comprises several groupings developed jointly by Statistics Canada and the National Center for Education Statistics in the USA. It is based on work undertaken as part of the creation of the North American Product Classification System (NAPCS) by Canada, the United States and Mexico.

The adapted groupings are

For undergraduate programs:

  • Education
  • Visual and Performing Arts, and Communications Technologies
  • Humanities
  • Social and Behavioral Sciences
  • Law
  • Business, Management and Public Administration
  • Physical and Life Sciences and Technologies
  • Mathematics, Computer and Information Sciences
  • Engineering
  • Architecture and Related Technologies
  • Agriculture, Natural Resources and Conservation
  • Dentistry
  • Medicine
  • Nursing
  • Pharmacy
  • Veterinary medicine
  • Health (other than Medicine), Parks, Recreation and Fitness
  • Personal, Protective and Transportation Services
  • Other

For graduate programs:

  • All the undergraduate program groupings plus;
  • Executive MBA
  • Regular MBA

In order to report discipline fees in the right program, please refer to Appendix A: CIP groupings list for TLAC.

Most of the categories are straightforward, however please note those listed below as they have caused confusion in the past.

Tuition fees for

  • 31.0505 Kinesiology must be reported under Other Health, Parks, Recreation and Fitness program
  • 31.0501 Health and Physical Education must be reported under Other Health, Parks, Recreation and Fitness program
  • 03.0103 Environmental Studies must be reported under Agriculture, Natural Resources and Conservation program.
  • 03.0104 Environmental Sciences must be reported under Agriculture, Natural Resources and Conservation program.

Note: Dental, Medical and Veterinary Residency Programs offered in teaching hospitals and similar locations that may lead to advanced professional certification are excluded.

II. Instructions

General

Whenever possible, final fees and living accommodation costs should be reported. If they have not yet been determined, your best estimate should be reported and the box showing that these are estimated fees for 2013-2014 should be checked.

Note: For reporting fees with decimals, please use a dot only (not a comma).
(For example $2415.45)

Although tuition fees and living accommodation costs can be reported on any basis, tables produced by Statistics Canada will reflect an academic year of two semesters, eight months or 30 credits in order to create a basis for comparison.

In situations where the institutions are not reporting tuition on an academic year basis, the following adjustments will be made to the data.

In order to report them on an academic year basis:

  • Semester (Figures will be multiplied by two for two semesters/ year)
  • Per credit (We will assume 30 credits/year and multiply X 30)

Previous year data for 2011-2012 of each part has been pre-filled. Please take time to verify data and make any required changes.

Part A: Tuition fees for full-time students

When reporting “Tuition fees per full-time students” in part A, only the cost of tuition should be reported. Do not include additional fees for materials or equipment. If such program specific fees exist, please make a note in the area provided for comments.

The “Canadian Students” category in Part A includes Canadian citizens, permanent residents and all other students paying the regular fees. If fees are different for foreign students, please indicate in the comments section the rules determining how a student is classified as foreign.

For Quebec and Nova-Scotia, the Lower fees are for students with their permanent address in the province and the Upper fees represent those for students having an out-of-province permanent address.

Part B: Additional Compulsory fees for full-time Canadian Students

In part B, please report compulsory fees for full-time Canadian students in the first row of the table.  Fees that differ according to field of study should be reported in the specific program rows below.

Important note: “Partial” compulsory fees such as Health Plan and Dental Plan fees that can be opted out by a student if proof of comparable coverage is presented should not be included in the compulsory fees but only indicated in the comments section.

Part C: Living accommodation costs at residences/housing

In part C, if it is not possible to separate the room and the meal plan costs for single students, only a total should be shown.

III. Definitions

Tuition Fees

Tuition that is charged to a full-time student (with a full load of 30 credits per year).

Compulsory fees

Fees that cover a range of services that varies from university to university, year to year, and even faculty to faculty or school to school within the same university. They include general fees (admission, registration, examination,, internship, etc.), technology fees, student services fees, student association fees, contributions to student activities, copyright fees, premiums for compulsory insurance plans, fees for athletics and recreational activities, and various other fees (transcript, degree, laboratory, uniform, etc.).

These fees are those that all students within each applicable program grouping category must pay. An example of fees that do not apply to everybody are Laboratory Fees that are charged for classes with labs and is for the cost of laboratory materials and supplies used by a student.

Excluded are ‘partial’ compulsory fees such as Health Plan and Dental Plan fees that can be opted out by a student if proof of comparable coverage is presented.

Athletics fees

Mandatory fees to support intercollegiate athletics covering athletics facilities, and campus recreation (intramurals, fitness and recreation courses, etc.)

Health Services fees

Mandatory fees to support the on-campus clinic facilities which provide the services of doctors and nurses.

Reminder:  “Partial” compulsory fees such as Health Plan and Dental Plan fees that can be opted out by a student if proof of comparable coverage is presented should not be included in the compulsory fees but only indicated in the comments section.  

Student Association fees

Mandatory fees supporting the general operating expenses of the association.

IV. Suggestions for improvements

Statistics Canada would welcome any suggestions for changes in the survey which you may wish to propose.

Reporting Guide for the electronic questionnaire (EQ) For-hire Motor Carrier Freight Services Price Report

This is a quarterly survey available in March (pricing for January, February and March), June (pricing for April, May and June), September (pricing for July, August and September) and December (pricing for October, November and December).

This survey collects pricing for three services (hauls) selected by your company that are representative of your business activities and from where most of your revenue is generated. The prices are aggregated under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 484 – Truck Transportation Services to compile the For-hire Motor Carrier Freight Services Price Index (FHMCFSPI).

A price index measures changes in prices through time, so it is important to compare the price of the same service (haul) each month. This way we are comparing apples to apples, so to speak. For this reason please price your service (haul) at the same time each month, we suggest the 15th .or the closest working day. You may not have the same service (haul) each month, but you would know how much you would charge for that service (haul), so an estimate can be given if a real transaction is not available. The price should always be based on the original service (haul) chosen. If your company no longer offers the service (haul) previously chosen you will be asked to choose another service (haul) that is typical of your company, meaning a steady source of revenue from a large client. Please do not include taxes when reporting.

If a service (haul) you choose to price for the survey is LTL (less than truck load), please only show pricing for that service (haul), not the full truck if you have more than one LTL on the same truck. For example if your shipment consists of two LTL, a 2000 lb LTL and a  6000 LTL, then only track one of those.

There are four questions in the pricing section. The first is for the base price (the price before discounts, surcharges, or taxes). The second is for discount amounts, the third is for fuel surcharges, and the fourth is for other surcharges. If the discount or surcharge question does not apply to your pricing, press NEXT to skip to the next question.

To help us understand what is happening in the industry, you will find a list of reasons for price change (if you had any) for the reporting period at the end of the pricing section.

Once the data are in our system, a final price will be calculated as shown in the following example:
Price before taxes, discounts and surcharges: $100
Discounts: $2
Fuel surcharge: $10
$100 minus $2 equals $98, plus $10 equals $108. $108 is the final price that would be calculated in our system.

We ask that the survey be completed within 15 days of receipt.

Your prices are never published, only the combined change of all companies in this survey, in index form. Your input is important to ensure data accuracy. The data reported on your e-questionnaire are confidential. The published data are in aggregate form ensuring our respondent, business, and price information remains confidential.

We appreciate any addition information you can provide regarding trends or issues. Additional information may be added in the comments section.

Thank you for your time and co-operation. Should you have any questions about your Electronic Questionnaire or the For-hire Motor Carrier Freight Services Price Report please call 1-877-949-9492.

General information

Data-sharing agreements

To reduce respondent burden, Statistics Canada has entered into data-sharing agreements with provincial and territorial statistical agencies and other government organizations, which have agreed to keep the data confidential and use them only for statistical purposes. Statistics Canada will only share data from this survey with those organizations that have demonstrated a requirement to use the data.

Section 11 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with provincial and territorial statistical agencies that meet certain conditions. These agencies must have the legislative authority to collect the same information, on a mandatory basis, and the legislation must provide substantially the same provisions for confidentiality and penalties for disclosure of confidential information as the Statistics Act. Because these agencies have the legal authority to compel businesses to provide the same information, consent is not requested and businesses may not object to the sharing of the data.

For this survey, there are Section 11 agreements with the provincial and territorial statistical agencies of Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, and the Yukon.

The shared data will be limited to information pertaining to business establishments located within the jurisdiction of the respective province or territory.

Section 12 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with federal, provincial or territorial government organizations. Under Section 12, you may refuse to share your information with any of these organizations by writing a letter of objection to the Chief Statistician and returning it with the completed questionnaire. Please specify the organizations with which you do not want to share your data.

For this survey, there are Section 12 agreements with the statistical agencies of Prince Edward Island, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut.

For agreements with provincial and territorial government organizations, the shared data will be limited to information pertaining to business establishments located within the jurisdiction of the respective province or territory.

Record linkages

To enhance the data from this survey and to minimize the reporting burden, Statistics Canada may combine it with information from other surveys or from administrative sources.
