The 2009/2010 data may include estimates that were provided by responding institutions when final fees were not available before the reporting due date. Notes: A major redesign of the Tuition and Living Accommodation Costs for Full-time Students (TLAC) questionnaire was implemented for the 2007/2008 collection cycle, when new fields of study based on the Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) were introduced. These data result from modifications to the disciplines covered by TLAC; specifically, the addition of Dentistry, Pharmacy, Nursing, and Veterinary medicine to both undergraduate and graduate programs. Executive MBA and Regular MBA were added to graduate programs. It should be noted that the impact of adding MBA programs was substantial. Since the distribution of enrolment across various programs varies from period to period, caution should be exercised when making historical comparisons.
