Footnotes:
- Data for 2025/2026 are preliminary.
- The national and provincial tuition fee averages are weighted with the latest enrolment data (2022/2023 Postsecondary Student Information System). If the number of enrolments is unknown for a given program, that program is excluded from the averages. The same enrolment data are used for the weighting of both years, 2024/2025 and 2025/2026, thereby permitting the comparison of changes in the tuition fees only.
- As the distribution of enrolment varies from period to period, caution must be exercised when making long-term historical comparisons.
- For Quebec (since 1998/1999), Nova Scotia (since 2007/2008), and Newfoundland and Labrador (since 2018/2019), the weighted averages take into account the different fees paid by in province" and "out of province" Canadian students."
- It is important to note that tuition fee increases are generally regulated by provincial policies. However, some programs may be exempted from these policies resulting in possible increases that exceed provincial limits.
- Data in this release do not take into account financial assistance or tax rebates provided to students.
- The fields of study are adapted from the 2021 Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP), Statistics Canada's standard for the classification of instructional programs.
