Scope of Work
Ontario University Graduate Survey (OUGS) – Undergraduate Survey

In 1998-99, key performance indicators (KPIs) were introduced to provide current outcome-based information to all stakeholders and assist students to make informed choices about programs offered at publicly assisted Ontario universities. The four KPIs published by the Ministry of Colleges and Universities (the Ministry) are the graduate employment rates six (6) months after graduation, graduate employment rates two (2) years after graduation, graduation rate and the OSAP default rate. The degree completion and OSAP default rates are calculated by the Ministry on the basis of information provided by institutions; graduate employment information is compiled through the Ontario University Graduate Survey two (2) years after graduation. The OUGS is an annual survey, and will be administered using mail and online surveys methods.
The Ministry uses KPI results to allocate performance-based funding to institutions.
