Financial Information of Universities and Colleges Survey, 1971-2021 [Canada] [Excel]

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. This information provides for a better understanding of the financial position for that level of education. The survey classifies the type of income received (grants, fees, donations and investments), by funds such as: general operating, sponsored research and capital. Expenditures include general operating, special purpose and trust, sponsored research, ancillary, and capital. Operating expenditures include salaries and benefits, materials and supplies, utilities, externally contracted services, as well as scholarships, bursaries and prizes. These expenses can be further classified by function (instruction and non-sponsored research, library, physical plant and student services). The Canadian Association of University Business Officers (CAUBO) provides financial data on the major degree-granting institutions in Canada. The CAUBO data are an important part of the Statistics Canada's Financial Information of Universities and Colleges Survey. Data are available in MS Excel format, as well as tables and reports available in MS Access format. There are databases provided, these require installation (setup using the .zip file). For current FIUC data refer to Statistics Canada. Access data here
