The Canadian Graduate and Professional Student Survey (CGPSS) provides universities with data regarding the quality of their graduate programs as assessed by their own graduate students. Waterloo has participated in CGPSS since 2005, as part of the Ontario, and U15 Data Exchange Consortium (formerly called the G10 Data Exchange consortium).
The survey asks graduate students to evaluate the overall quality of their student experience including questions on coursework, the availability of financial support, university resources, student life, support from faculty members, and overall satisfaction with their program.
