General Instructions

Parts A, B, and C

1. Whenever possible, final fees and living accommodation costs should be reported. If they have not yet been determined your best estimate should be reported. Place an "e" after each estimated figure on the questionnaire.
2. 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. When data adjustments are required to create a fit with the standard academic year, this will be footnoted.
3. Please report fees in the "lower" column. Where fees vary, (for example, according to year within the program) report the actual range, both upper and lower, and explain the variance in the "comments" section.

   Part A only

4. When reporting "Tuition fees per full-time student" in Part A, only the cost of tuition should be reported. Do not include additional fees for materials or equipment. If program specific fees exist, please make a note in the area provided for comments. For example, uncharacteristically high fees for an Executive MBA program should be noted in the comments section. Such comments will be footnoted in the data tables produced.
5. The "Canadian Students" category in Part A includes Canadian citizens, permanent residents and all other students paying the regular fees. If fees vary for foreign students, please attach a brief note on the rules determining how a student is classified as foreign.

   Part B only

6. In Part B, please report compulsory fees for all full-time students where these fees do not vary according to their field of study and/or report compulsory fees for full-time students, where these fees do vary according to the field of study. If there are fees which apply only to foreign students, please make a note in the area provided for comments. Such comments will be footnoted in the data tables produced.

   Part C only

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