Stats Canada Revises Tuition Fee Data

On Sept. 9 Statistics Canada issued revised data for average university tuition fees for the years 2001-2002 and 2002-2003.

The revisions reported primarily affect undergraduate tuition fees in Saskatchewan. In Saskatchewan, the revised figures reveal that average undergraduate tuition increased by 10.5 per cent from 2001-2002 to 2002-2003, rather than a decrease of 10 per cent as previously illustrated in "Average Undergraduate Tuition Fees" (Bulletin, September 2002).

The corrected version of the chart is reproduced below.
