The Annual Questionnaire

The questionnaire requires data for one calendar year (i.e., winter term of one academic year, spring/summer courses, and fall term of the next academic year).  The reasons for this are explained on questionnaire history page.

The questionnaire (available as .doc here or as .pdf here) consists of three pages:

• undergraduate student and service course enrolments
• graduate student enrolments
• faculty, clerical and technical support data

The results of the 2022 survey are posted.
