The Complete Guide to Canadian Universities. Rev. ed.

Alexander D. Gregor is director of the Centre for Higher Education
Research and Development at the University of Manitoba and the co-editor
of Postsecondary Education in Canada: The Cultural Agenda.

Written by a university admissions director and orientation and study
skills instructor, this book provides an orientation to university (What
is a university all about? Is it right for me? What kind of university
would be best for me? What program?); guidance on the mysteries of
application, admission, and registration; and advice on how to succeed
once enrolled (e.g., how to study, what to expect in the classroom).
Additional information is offered on distance learning opportunities,
co-op programs, and postgraduate studies.

This general introduction is followed by profiles of the full
complement of Canadian universities. Included in the profiles is
information on admission, residences, awards and financial aid, tuition
fees, programs and degrees, facilities and services, and contact numbers
and addresses. In addition, there are useful appendixes, including a
comprehensive program and degree index and Web site addresses for
universities and related sites.

For students and parents seeking information on Canadian universities,
this survey provides an excellent starting point.
