Feature Story: Aboriginal student enrolment on the rise

Abstract

Registration statistics released this month show an increase of nearly 50 per cent in self-declared Aboriginal students over a five-year period. This brings total Aboriginal enrolment to more than 11 per cent of the total student body, a record high for the University. The one-year increase in Aboriginal student numbers since the Fall 2013 semester is just under 6 per cent, rising to 1,574 undergraduate and graduate Aboriginal students in total.
