MOTION
Graduate Education Council Tuesday, March 19, 2013
ITEM #7.1
Proposal to revise entry in SGS Calendar Regulations to remove the Concurrent Registration Option (CRO).
MOTION THAT Graduate Education Council approve the removal of the SGS Calendar General Regulation section 7.1.11 “Concurrent Registration Option”. Section to be removed is in italic below:
7.1.11 Concurrent Registration Option
Note: Available at the master's degree level only.
The concurrent registration option is available only in degree programs with approved partner degree programs at the University of Toronto. Students who are accepted into each partner degree program separately may enrol in the concurrent program option in each degree program, subject to the approval of both programs. Graduate master's programs may partner with other graduate programs or with undergraduate degree programs (e.g., JD).
Changes are effective September 1, 2013.
NOTE:
This proposal involves a change to the SGS Calendar section on registration policies and procedures. CRO was first offered as a program registration option in master’s programs in September of 2009 as an alternate framework for interdisciplinarity. Currently, the CRO is offered by only one Faculty. It is considering converting its CRO to a combined program in the future. Combined programs offer a stable, increasingly popular framework as an effective replacement of the CRO. The existing CRO offering would be ‘grandparented’ after the removal of the regulation.

10.0 Graduation
10.2 Convocation Ceremonies Convocation ceremonies are held twice a year, in the spring and fall. Students who choose to attend a
ceremony must attend the ceremony which directly follows the completion of their degree requirements. The Director of Student Services of the School of Graduate Studies submits the names of the graduands to the Office of Convocation, which is responsible for the procedures for the convocation ceremony and the issuance of diplomas.
Students who complete degree requirements by the January deadline can choose to have their degree conferred in absentia in March, where there is no ceremony but rather diplomas are mailed to graduands, or attend the ceremony in June.
Graduation information is available on the University of Toronto website at www.convocation.utoronto.ca. See General Regulations, section 12.9.1 Refusal of Access to Official Student Academic Records.
12.9 Access to Official Student Academic Records Academic records of students are ultimately the property of the University; it is the responsibility of the University
to establish overall University policy in this area. The Guidelines Concerning Access to Official Student Academic Records establishes University-wide aims, objectives, criteria, and procedures that apply to the academic records of students.
The guidelines ensure that students, alumni, and former students are allowed as great a degree of access to their own academic records as is academically justifiable and administratively feasible. A student's right to privacy in relation to his or her academic records is safeguarded as far as both internal University access and external public access are concerned. The guidelines call for basic University-wide consistency in the kinds of information collected, recorded, filed, and made available.
The full text of the Guidelines Concerning Official Access to Student Academic Records is available on the University of Toronto website at www.governingcouncil.utoronto.ca/policies/Guidelines_Concerning_Access_to_Official_Student_Academic_Records.htm.

This represents a significant increase of 32% over last year. In this period, we had notable increases in activity in Divisions I and II, while Divisions III and IV were stable compared to the previous year. The most significant increase took place in Division I where non-standard cases went up by 195% over the previous year. The increase in Division II was by 29% over the previous year. The increase is reflected mostly in increases in non-standard cases for doctoral students, where we had an increase of 62% over last year and in cases for doctoral stream masters students, where we had an increase of 24% over last year. Cases for professional stream masters students also increased, but by a more moderate 16%. This year non-standard activity in doctoral and doctoral stream masters together far outnumber cases in professional stream masters. Division II continues to see the bulk of non-standard activity with a total of 525 cases, or 55% of all cases. Division I, however, had the largest percentage (11.3%) of cases as a percentage of all registered students in Division I.

The bulk of the refusals were in Division II where we had a refusal rate of 17% of cases. There were a total of 9,043 admission offers made for the 2012-2013 academic year and of these 327 (3.6%) were non-standard admissions. Division I, II, and III had increases in cases; Division IV had a decrease in admissions cases. This year’s increase in cases by 113 over last year is almost fully accounted for by increases in two categories – applicants who did not meet our English language facility requirements and applicants who did not meet our minimum grade requirements of B or B+. This year we had 87 cases for applicants who did not meet English facility requirements compared to last year’s 50 cases. We had 193 cases for applicants who did not meet our grade requirements compared to last year’s 123 cases in this category. Programs:

Total 431 (96%) 18 (4%) 543 (96%) 21 (4%) Programs cases include non-standard leaves, second course extensions, second candidacy extensions, non-standard transfer credit requests, etc. Of the total 946 cases, 564 were programs cases and of these 543 (96%) were approved and 21 (4%) were refused. The approval/refusal ratio is exactly the same as last year. The 564 programs cases represent 3.8% of the total 14,869 registered students in the 2011-2012 academic year. This is a slight increase from last year’s case percentage of 3% of all registered students. We have seen an

increase of 115 program cases this year. Nearly half the increase is accounted for by increases in non-standard grade revisions (increase of 24 cases) and second course extensions (increase of 37 cases) in Division I. In the other three divisions grade revisions went down by 19 cases and second course extensions went down by 9 cases. Non-standard program transfers increased this year to 63 from last year’s 49 cases. Once again, the majority (32) of these were in Division IV. Our second candidacy extension requests were steady at 28 cases again this year. Our specified time limits to become candidates appear to be having a positive effect on timely candidacy achievement. Non-standard leave requests have decreased again this year; we had 51 requests compared to last year’s 58 and 60 from two year’s ago. There are, however, still more non-standard leaves compared to three years ago when we had 30 such cases. Although, Division II still sees most of the non-standard leaves, we do see cases in all four divisions. There were 28 non-standard transfer credit cases compared to last year’s 35 requests. Also, we had 10 fewer requests for late course add/drops this year compared to last year. In this report we are including for the first time statistics on requests for third or fourth program extensions according to our new policy on program extensions. We had a total of 72 third or fourth new policy program extension8s in 2011-2012. These 72 students opted-in to a maximum allowable time of three or four extensions past their original time limit. We still had 1 old policy third extension this year. In 2010-2011 we had 19 old policy third extension requests. It appears that students are choosing to opt-in to the new policy.
8 The new extension policy came into effect in September 2010 for PhD students and September 2011 for all other students. The new policy permits a maximum allowable time of time limit plus three or four program extensions, depending on the program. According to this policy, students who are in the extension years pay, in most cases, 50% of the regular academic fees for their program. Students who were registered prior to the start dates of the new policy are eligible to opt-in to the new policy regulations.
PROGRESS REPORT FOR NON-STANDARD ADMISSIONS APPROVED FROM SEPTEMBER 1, 2010 TO AUGUST 31, 2011.

deferred admission to the following year and of the 204 who registered, 3 eventually withdrew from the program. Of the 204 who registered, grades were available for 201 students. Of these 201 students, 145 (72%) maintained an A average and 54 (27%) maintained a B average and two students failed this year. Of the two students who failed, one had not met our B or B+ admission requirement and one had a Bologna degree at admission. We had two applicants with an applied bachelor’s degree from a Canadian college. Of these, one achieved an A average and the other a B average. We had 5 Bologna degree applicants to track this year. Of these 5, one maintained an A average, one had a B average and one failed. One Bologna applicant did not register and one deferred admission to 20129. The results for the Bologna degree applicants are quite different compared to the previous three years since we have been tracking the performance of these applicants. The reports of the last three years indicated that these applicants were very successful and well-prepared for our programs. It is quite unexpected to see a failed first year by one of the Bologna degree applicants. The overall numbers for both Bologna applicants and applied college degree applicants, however, are very small, so we will have to continue to monitor this closely to get a more complete understanding of their preparedness for graduate studies. Students who did not meet the minimum mid-B or B+ admission average requirement accounted for 50% of the total accepted non-standard admits. This is in line with the statistics of previous years. We admitted 50 applicants who did not meet English language facility requirements. In this category, 31 students had an A average and 8 students had a B average, 8 did not register, 2 deferred admission and 1 student withdrew from our program. These are good results and important to see since our non-standard admissions in this category have been on the increase in the last few years. This year there is a small shift in the overall performance on non-standard admits. Our current 72%/27% ratio of A average/B average results in slightly lower than the previous two years’ 74%/25% ratio of A average and B average achievements. Although the move down is small, it may still be significant. We have had a growth in non-standard admits in the last few years during our period of overall growth. We will have to closely track the performance of non-standard admits overall, along with that of Bologna degree and applied college degree applicants.

Collaborative Program General Guidelines – Revised October 2012
See attached document: • Collaborative Program General Guidelines – Revised, October 2012
Notes:
Previous revisions to the SGS Collaborative Program General Guidelines include: Revised October 2011; September 2011; November 2006; March 2003; November 2001.
GRADUATE COLLABORATIVE PROGRAM
GENERAL GUIDELINES October 2012
1. Definition of a Collaborative Program The Quality Assurance Framework for Ontario provides a definition of collaborative programs1:
A collaborative program is an intra‐university graduate program that provides an additional multidisciplinary experience for students enrolled in and completing the degree requirements for one of a number of approved programs. Students meet the admission requirements of and register in the participating (or “home”) program but complete, in addition to the degree requirements of that program, the additional requirements specified by the collaborative program. The degree conferred is that of the home program, and the completion of the collaborative program is indicated by a transcript notation indicating the additional specialization that has been attained (e.g., “MA in Political Science with specialization in American Studies”*). Proposals for new Collaborative programs will follow the Protocol for Expedited Approvals and thereafter will require cyclical review. *See section 5.3.h) for U of T notation wording.
2. Administrative Oversight Proposals for new collaborative programs require both University of Toronto approval and the approval of the Ontario Universities Council on Quality Assurance (the “Quality Council”). The approvals process is expedited for new collaborative program proposals. This means in particular that collaborative program proposals do not require external appraisal. See Proposal for a New Collaborative Program section below. Each collaborative program is aligned with a “lead” Faculty, that is, a Faculty responsible for coordinating and overseeing the governance‐related issues for each program. Each collaborative program is associated with a School of Graduate Studies (SGS) division for administrative purposes. Each collaborative program has a director, appointed by the Dean of the School of Graduate Studies and Vice‐Provost, Graduate Education (SGS D&VPGE). See Administration of a Collaborative Program section below. Periodic reviews of existing collaborative programs are commissioned by the Vice‐Provost, Graduate Education. The D&VPGE may delegate his/her commissioning responsibilities for periodic review to the Dean of a lead Faculty. Reviews follow an established schedule; nevertheless, the lead Faculty or
2 | P a g e
the Vice‐Provost, Graduate Education, may suggest a review of an existing collaborative program at any time. See Review of a Collaborative Program section below.
3. Proposal for a New Collaborative Program Members of graduate units interested in developing a new collaborative program bring ideas forward to the Faculty Graduate Office associated with their graduate unit at an early stage for discussion. (The “lead” Faculty will be determined in consultation between the Faculty Graduate Office and the School of Graduate Studies.) Once the kernel of the idea has been developed, the Faculty Graduate Office will contact the Office of the Vice‐Provost, Academic Programs; the Director, Academic Programs and Policy, coordinates the development of new programs under the University of Toronto Quality Assurance Process (UTQAP). The Office of the Vice‐Provost, Academic Programs, will host a consultation meeting for all those involved in the initiative which is intended to provide an opportunity for support and advice at an early, productive stage concerning curriculum, resources, and related issues, including UTQAP requirements and required approvals. Appropriate templates and guidance on how to complete them will be provided by the Provost’s Office. SGS provides advice on the design and development of graduate programs and is involved in the review of draft proposals. After approval by the appropriate Deans’ Offices and full consultation with the Provost’s Office, including SGS review, a proposal for a new collaborative program, which will include a memorandum of agreement between the participating programs, supporting unit/s (if any) and lead Faculty, is ready to move forward through the quality assurance and governance processes.
4. Quality Criteria for Collaborative Programs Collaborative programs offer a multidisciplinary experience to students who are already enrolled in a graduate degree program. Topic areas for collaborative programs are often on the cutting edge of new thinking and research in an area. Collaborative programs commence/continue when the criteria outlined below are assessed as appropriate by the reviewing authorities. Proposals for new collaborative programs and existing collaborative programs coming forward for review should provide clear and well‐articulated information concerning the following: 4.1 Program Rationale/Academic Focus
Provide or update the program rationale/academic focus
4.2 Objectives, continuing need and added value
Provide academic objectives and learning outcomes of the program
3 | P a g e
Explain demand and need for the proposed Collaborative Program and how that has been assessed. Note: Normally the program should be able to demonstrate at least one new student in each participating program every few years.
Explain how the collaborative program serves the interests of students (academic interests, career preparation, etc).
Explain the value that is added to the student’s educational experience by participating in the collaborative program and explain how the added value is provided (e.g. course requirements, multidisciplinary focus, exposure to other viewpoints, topics of thesis research etc.).
Identify the common learning experience for all students. Note: In many collaborative programs, a seminar series provides the common learning experience.
Explain how the collaborative program is different from and/or the same as others offered by the University of Toronto.
4.3 Admission and Program Requirements
Admission and program requirements must be distinctive at each level (master’s and doctoral), as applicable. Note: Each collaborative program normally should have as a minimum requirement, a core course (.5 or 1.0 FCE) to be taken by all students. The home unit determines whether the core course will be credited towards the student’s home program requirements. The core course provides graduate‐level teaching directly in the subject area of the collaborative program. Normally there is a core course requirement at each level of the collaborative program, i.e., master’s and doctoral. It is expected that such requirements will not extend the normal degree program length.
Provide an SGS Calendar entry outlining the admission and program requirements for the collaborative program and other advertising materials. Comment on the appropriateness of the admission and program requirements with reference to the learning outcomes and mode of delivery.
Provide a detailed description of how the requirements for the collaborative program can be accommodated within the requirements for each participating program.
4.4 Resources
There must be at least one core graduate faculty member(s) in each participating program whose teaching and/or research expertise relate to that of the collaborative program subject area. Core faculty members are those who are eligible to teach and/or supervise in the collaborative program, as appropriate. Core faculty members in collaborative programs must hold Graduate Faculty Membership in one of the participating programs. The process of identifying a graduate faculty member as a core faculty member of a collaborative program usually is initiated by the faculty member or the collaborative program director. Both the faculty member’s home graduate unit chair/director and the collaborative program director must agree, as well as the faculty member involved. A formal Graduate Faculty cross‐appointment is not required. The collaborative program director is responsible for maintaining records on agreements relating to core faculty assignments. See section 5.3 Director, below.
4 | P a g e
Outline overall resources requirements of the program, indicating the source.
Discuss the role of the supporting unit (if any) and identify the resources it provides.
4.5 Administration
Each collaborative program is governed by a memorandum of agreement (MOA) among the participating graduate units, supporting units (if any) and the lead Faculty.
Explain how provision is made for adequate and appropriate administration of the collaborative program, addressed via the MOA, to ensure smooth program delivery.
5. Administration of a Collaborative Program The operation of the program is the responsibility of the program director and the program committee (see sections 5.1 Program Committee and 5.3 Director, below). Both the director and the program committee work in cooperation with the collaborating graduate units and the participating programs. Each collaborative program is governed by a memorandum of agreement. The program director is appointed by the SGS D&VPGE on the recommendation of the program committee; nevertheless, the director works with the Faculty Graduate Dean’s Office, of the lead Faculty on governance matters, course proposals or admission/program requirement changes, for example. 5.1 Program Committee Each collaborative program has a program committee. The program committee normally is
composed of a core faculty representative from each participating graduate unit and a representative from a supporting unit (see definition below), if any; in the case of large numbers of participating programs, an agreed‐upon method of rotating program representation is included in the MOA. It is the responsibility of the program committee to initiate and recommend the appointment of a collaborative program director to the SGS D&VPGE; this normally occurs in the final year of the director’s appointment. Duties of the program committee are outlined in the MOA.
5.2 Supporting Unit/s Some collaborative programs have resources contributed to its operation by a supporting
unit (or units). Supporting units may or may not house participating programs. Supporting units may contribute to the cost of mounting a core course or seminar series, may provide administrative resources, may provide space, etc. Supporting units sign on to the memorandum of agreement and may have a representative on the program committee.
5.3 Director Each collaborative program has a director. The program committee recommends a
Graduate Faculty Member as the director of the collaborative program to the SGS D&VPGE, after consultation with chairs/directors of participating graduate units and in consultation with the current collaborative program director, if any. The SGS D&VPGE approves the appointment of the Director of a collaborative program, after consulting with
5 | P a g e
the individual’s home unit chair/director. The Director’s term is normally five years (renewable). The duties of a collaborative program director are as follows:
a) Chairs the program committee, and ensures that the program committee has
appropriate representation, according to the memorandum of agreement b) Maintains appropriate content of program entry in the SGS Calendar, the website,
and any other promotional material c) Administers the collaborative program including applications, admissions, record‐
keeping, and budget, if any d) Approves individual admissions to the collaborative program, and ensures that
students are formally enrolled in the collaborative program as soon as possible e) Approves individual student programs in conformity with the standards of the
collaborative program and ensures that students registered in the program have supervisory arrangements in accordance with the program’s requirements; monitors the progress of students in the program; ensures that appropriate academic advising is available to students in the program
f) Ensures that a collaborative program core faculty member is a member of each student’s thesis examination committee, in cases where a thesis is required
g) Certifies completion of program requirements for each student enrolled in the program
h) Ensures that students, who complete the requirements of a collaborative program, receive the following notation on the graduate transcripts: “Completed [session date] ‐ Collaborative Program [degree short‐form] in [name of program]”. (Note: This is the notation wording used at the University of Toronto.)
i) Submits for approval to Faculty Graduate Dean’s Office recommendations for changes to core course/s or the program and its requirements, or related academic matters
j) Maintains communication with the heads of participating graduate units regarding activities and evaluation of the collaborative program
k) Provides reports to the Faculty Graduate Dean’s Office or SGS on the program’s activities, including registration and graduation figures, as required and/or requested
l) Ensures that the memorandum of agreement is followed and kept up‐to‐date, including:
Monitors changes to admission and/or program requirements in participating programs that might affect collaborative program requirements
Recommends additions/deletions of participating programs to collaborative program, ensuring continuity of program for students already registered
Provides lead Faculty Graduate Dean’s Office with up‐dated memorandum of agreement or addenda when changes are made.
m) Requests, in final year of term, that the program committee provide a recommendation to the D&VPGE for the directorship for the next five‐year term, recusing him/herself from the process.
6 | P a g e
Some of these responsibilities may be performed in consultation with, or delegated to, the program committee or others according to the memorandum of agreement.
6. Program Closure Divisional and University level governance approvals are required to close a collaborative program. Closure follows the same governance path as that of a new collaborative program proposal. Closures are reported to the Quality Council for information. Unless there is no enrollment in the collaborative program that is closing, the proposal for closure would include a permanent cessation of admissions. Closure would occur when there are no more students in the program. The lead Faculty remains responsible for ensuring that all aspects of the MOA, including required resources, continue to serve enrolled students until program closure. If a program closes, budget contributions, as applicable, revert to the Faculty or Faculties from which they came.
7. Adding New Graduate Programs to an Existing Collaborative Program/Removing Programs from Participation in an Existing Collaborative Program
The Program Director may recommend to the Vice‐Dean, Graduate Studies, of the lead Faculty the addition of a new graduate program to an existing collaborative program as a minor modification. The process is explained on the SGS website – see governance procedures. Minimal information is requested, and an Addendum to the existing MOA is created. Approval of the lead Faculty Dean or designate is required. A similar process is followed for removing programs from participating in an existing collaborative program.
8. Review of an Existing Collaborative Program The Vice‐Provost, Graduate Education, is the Commissioning Officer for reviews of graduate collaborative programs. Reviews are conducted on a cyclical basis according to an established schedule, and according to review protocols under the University of Toronto Quality Assurance Process (UTQAP). In some cases, the Commissioning Officer may delegate responsibility to a Faculty Dean when there is agreement that it is desirable to “bundle” the collaborative program review with the review of a unit or another program.

PostdoctoralFellows(PDFs)2011‐2012
This report is based on a snapshot of PDF engagements at the University of Toronto (U of T) during the academic year from September 1, 2011 to August 31, 2012. The Postdoctoral Fellows Office had records of 2,362 PDFs associated with U of T during this period, both on‐campus and at the affiliated teaching hospitals and other institutions. As PDF engagements begin and end at any time during the academic year, the duration of some of the engagements did not span the entire year. The Postdoctoral Registration System (PRS) was implemented at the School of Graduate Studies (SGS) in April 2010, and was developed as a response to the need for a better system of reporting. The report captures the profiles of on‐campus PDFs1 based on the data on the PRS. Hospital and other off‐campus institutional statistics are reported separately; the report notes when these statistics and SGS statistics have been combined. Data Collection The report uses the data collected within the PRS. All hospital data was provided by the Office of the Vice‐Dean, Faculty of Medicine. Data regarding PDFs at the Fields Institute was provided by the Manager of Scientific Programs. The report focuses on campus affiliation, hospital/other statistics, divisional representation, unit association, and faculty affiliation, as well as citizenship, gender, and stipend statistics. Campus/Hospital/Other Affiliation PDFs have a presence on all three U of T campuses and in 10 affiliated institutions. In contrast to the statistics of the previous two reports, PDFs affiliated with other institutions have a greater number of PDFs than on‐campus. The St. George campus continues to have the largest number of PDFs at the UofT, 1,059 (44.8%) out of 2,362 PDFs. Increasing numbers of PDFs are engaged off‐campus, at the teaching hospitals, the Fields Institute, or the ROM. Teaching Hospital/Other Institution Statistics Hospital‐based PDFs are the largest PDF group, and account for 1,184 (50.1%) of the total PDF population. PDFs at the University Health Network, comprising the Princess Margaret Hospital (Ontario Cancer Institute), Toronto General Hospital (TGH), Toronto Western Hospital (TWH), and
1 On-campus PDFs are defined as those who are paid through the UofT payroll system, whether or not the research is undertaken on or off campus, as well as PDFs on campus who are paid directly by a third party.

Toronto Rehabilitation Institute (TRI), have the greatest number at 567 (47.9 % of the hospital population). The Hospital for Sick Children follows at 142 (22%). PDF enrolment in CAMH and Sick Kids has increased dramatically since the last report, while Mount Sinai and St. Michael’s enrolments remain about the same. Although the UHN numbers have increased, this may be partially due to the inclusion of TRI under the UHN umbrella. Numbers at the TRI and Princess Margaret increased, whereas they decreased for the TGH and TWH. For the first year, this report is tracking PDFs at the Fields Institute. In cases where the PDF is co‐funded by a U of T unit, the PDF is reported as being part of that unit (6 PDFs). The Fields Institute had 13 (0.6%) PDFs during the period in question. Divisional and Departmental Statistics As is consistent with the 2009‐2010 and 2010‐2011 statistics, the greatest numbers of PDFs were engaged in divisions III and IV, accounting for 89.5% of on‐campus PDFs. Division III once again had the highest number of on‐campus PDFs: 49.2% of all on‐campus PDFs at U of T. The difference between Division III and Division IV on‐campus PDFs counts increased; in the last report, there was a difference of 35 PDFs, whereas for this report, there is a difference of 104. All divisions except Social Sciences saw increases over the previous year in PDF engagements, by 47 in the Physical Sciences, 45 in the Life Sciences, and 3 in the Humanities; Social Sciences decreased its engagements by 13. In Division I, the Jackman Humanities Institute had the greatest number of PDFs (11), followed by Philosophy (7 across the three campuses). In Division II, the department with the greatest number of PDFs was Geography (15 PDFs across the three campuses), followed by Global Affairs (11). In Division III, the greatest number of PDFs were in Chemistry (133), followed by Electrical & Computer Engineering (71); ECE maintained its gain from last year over Physics (48) for second position. In Division IV, the Donnelly Centre for Cellular & Biomolecular Research had the most PDFs (83); this Centre is somewhat unique at the university in that all PDFs associated with the DCCBR carry out their research elsewhere, often at the Department of Physiology. Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (32) and Molecular Genetics (31) were closely tied for having the second greatest number of PDFs. Faculty/Institute/Centre Statistics The Faculty of Arts & Science continues to engage the greatest number of PDFs at 460 (39.5%), followed by the Faculty of Medicine at 293 (25.20%), and the Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering at 230 (19.7%); these three faculties make up 84.4% of the total on campus PDF population.

Stipend Statistics The average annual PDF stipend for the year 2011‐2012 was $43,422.00; this represents a small decrease of $24.00 from the 2010‐2011 average annual stipend of $43,446. The previous report noted a stipend increase from the 2009‐10 average stipend of $42,085. Divisional averages are growing narrower; last year, there was a $5,483 range amongst divisions, but this year that range has decreased to $4,076. Division III has the highest average annual stipend ($45, 011) and Division II the lowest ($40,935). Stipends increased slightly for divisions II and III, and decreased slightly for Divisions I and IV. The average stipend for male PDFs is $43,415 and the average stipend for female PDFs is $43,429. This is the second year that female PDFs have on average made a slightly higher stipend than male PDFs. Gender Statistics Male PDFs made up 65.2% of the SGS PDF population. The highest number of male on‐campus PDFs are in the Physical Sciences Division (442) with the Life Sciences Division in second place (256). The Life Sciences Division has the highest number of female on‐campus PDFs at 213 out of a total on campus presence of 405. For the first time, female PDFs do not out‐number male PDFs in Divisions I and II. Female PDFs are hugely hugely outdistanced in the Physical Sciences; the gap continues to narrow in the Life Sciences. Citizenship Statistics PDFs on work permits made up 51.9% of the SGS population representing 605 of the 1,165 PDFs. This is the second year we have had a decrease in the percentage of international PDFs on campus (52.2% in 2010/11 and 55.5% in 2009/10); however, there was also higher enrolment of permanent residents; 170 PDFs had permanent resident status, up from 149 last year. North Americans continued to comprise the greatest number of PDFs at 509 (45.2%) in 2011‐12, with Canadians in the majority (387). Asian PDFs continued to follow at 360 (30.9%), and Europeans were next at 230 (18.7%). The remaining 5.2% of the population was from South America, Australia and New Zealand, and Africa.

Comparison with 2010‐2011 and 2009‐2010 Statistics
Although there continues to be an increase of on‐campus PDFs each year, the percentage of on campus PDFs among total PDFs (including hospitals) varies. In 2011/12, on‐campus PDFs made up 49.3% of the total PDF population; in 2010/11, this number was 53%, and in 2009/10, 51.6%. The 2011‐2012 academic year continued to show an increase in on‐campus PDFs over previous years, 1,083 in 2010‐11 and 992 in 2009‐10. Hospital‐based PDFs increased this year to 1,184 from 959 in 2010‐11, and 928 in 2009‐10; this population has now surpassed its previous enrolment high of 1,081 in 2008‐09. Divisionally, the Physical Sciences division continues to surpass the Life Sciences in the total number PDFs (573 and 469 respectively). This is consistent with the figures from the previous two reports: in 2010‐11, divisions III and IV had 526 and 424 PDFs respectively, and in 2009‐10, these divisions had 461 and 426 PDFs respectively. All divisions have experienced increases over the past two reports, except Division II, which returned to the 2009‐10 enrolment number of 68 PDFS.
