Shows the amount of time it takes for a student to complete their degree program from the point of initial enrollment to graduation. The "Time to Completion" dashboard uses the CSRDE (Consortium for Student Retention Data Exchange) methodology and presents information based on the End of Add Date snapshot data. The CSRDE methodology focuses on students who entered directly from high school in the fall, are enrolled in a four-year degree program, registered full-time, and are not part of combined or joint programs or enrolled in ESL classes.
Shows the amount of time it takes for a graduate student to complete their degree program from the point of initial enrollment to graduation. This dashboard uses the U15 Methoology and presents information based on the End of Add Date snapshot data. The U15 TTC methodology includes students who have no prior registration in the program and are registered in a Doctoral and Masters degree.
- Doctoral students status are checked at the 19th and 28th semesters (6 years and 9 years) after start.
- Masters students status is checked at the 16th term (5 years) after start.
- If at the 28th/19th/16th term, the student is still registered in the program, they are NOT captured as completed in the U15 Methodology, they are captured as in progress.
If at the 28th/19th/16th term, the student is not registered or completed, they are captured as withdrawn.
The Time to Completion (TTC) dashboards for CSRDE and U15 do not include all students and follow a specific predefined methodologies.
If you require student Time to Completion and Retention analysis based on a different methodology please contact askoia@ucalgary.ca . We will be happy to produce custom analysis based on your requirements.
The TLAC survey collects tuition fees and living accommodation costs for all publicly funded universities and degree-granting colleges in Canada. This dashboard uses TLAC data from Statistics Canada to provide comparisons between institutions in Canada, Alberta and U15.
Workforce Reports
The staff composition dashboards are interactive tools that provide an overview of the university's workforce, focusing on key demographic and employment metrics. You can explore data on overall staff headcount, employment categories, department distributions, residency status, and gender breakdown.

- Compare survey results across multiple years and benchmark them against peer groups.
- Interpret data on student engagement, including academic challenges, interactions with faculty, campus environment, and learning with peers.
- Assess student participation in enriching activities such as internships, research projects, and study abroad programs.
- Use statistical significance and effect size metrics to identify areas of strength and opportunities for improvement.
