Summary: The Financial Information of Universities and Colleges Survey was developed to provide financial information (income and expenditures) on all universities and degree-granting colleges in Canada.

Geographic coverage: Canada, provinces, academic institutions

Time period: Reference period is the academic year. 1972 - [latest]

Date(s) of collection: Collected between September and March of the following year

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

Data type: aggregate time-series statistics

Unit of observation: academic institution

Sample: This survey is a census with a cross-sectional design. Data are collected for all units of the target population, therefore no sampling is done.

Mode of data collection: The collection process is made up of two separate questionnaires:
a) Survey done in conjunction with the Canadian Association of University Business Officers (CAUBO):
This questionnaire was designed and implemented by the CAUBO Finance Committee which is made up of financial administrators from six universities. They meet twice a year and any proposed changes to the questionnaire and guidelines are discussed and implemented by the Committee.

b) Non-CAUBO questionnaire:
This questionnaire is a carbon copy of the CAUBO questionnaire. Any change / modification to the CAUBO questionnaire and guidelines is applied to the non-CAUBO questionnaire.

These questionnaires were last revised for the 2003-04 cycle year when a new column ("External relations") was added on Table 4.
