and aggregated in a Cognos data cube and in custom FIS reports

Two-thirds of funded cohort students hold TA-ships
~60% of graduate student TAs are in the funded cohort

2015-16 Operating Budget
Defining the Funding Commitment
Minimum annual funding commitment made to each student in the funded cohort
A combination of fellowships, stipends from research grants, external scholarships, bursaries, and up to 205 hours of TA work (less in some depts)
Amount varies by department, but is at least $15k plus tuition and fees:
$23,400 domestic
$33,100 international

Average Minimum Commitments
Funding in addition to tuition and fees Variability is largely the result of outside factors
Availability of grant funds (NSERC/CIHR vs SSHRC) Competition among peer institutions

How Do We Stack Up?
16
Domestic & International Doctoral Enrolment (including non-Funded Cohort)
16% higher than our Canadian peers (U15)
Comparability issues among institutions preclude the inclusion of health science disciplines.
-
2015-16 Operating Budget
Conclusion
Actual income for funded cohort students exceeds, often considerably, the university minimum
Very few in-program students have $15K net incomes Larger funding packages in many departments Major external awards Additional TA hours Casual work Bursary assistance
