What was UniversityStudy.ca and is it still available?
Updated
UniversityStudy.ca was a Canadian university information site run by Universities Canada, offering tools to compare programs and schools, compare tuition fees, and find scholarships. It is no longer available. The site now displays a closure notice stating that "UniversityStudy.ca services have been retired," so you cannot log in, register, or use its dashboards and comparison tools. The replacement resources it points to are hosted by Universities Canada.
What the site used to do
Based on the navigation and content still visible on the closed page, UniversityStudy.ca was built around:
- Compare Programs and Compare Schools — side-by-side exploration of Canadian university offerings
- Tuition fee comparison — ranges for Canadian and international undergraduate and graduate students across universities
- Scholarships and resources — financial support information and related links
- A personal dashboard — sign-in, sign-up, password reset, and saved items
- Newsletter sign-up — email updates
None of these functions are active now. The page still shows the menu labels and footer, but the message at the top makes clear the service has been retired.
What replaced it
The closure notice directs visitors to Universities Canada for the same kinds of information:
| What you need | Where the page points you |
|---|---|
| Tuition fees by university | Compare tuition fees — ranges for Canadian and international undergraduate and graduate students |
| Scholarships and programs | Universities Canada programs and scholarships administered by the organization |
| General university stories and research | Possible with U |
| Information about Universities Canada itself | Univcan.ca |
If you arrived at UniversityStudy.ca hoping to compare schools or check tuition, use the tuition comparison and program/scholarship links from Universities Canada instead. The page also keeps a newsletter sign-up form (email required) if you want updates.
What you should not expect
- No account access. Sign-in, sign-up, "forgot password," and "my dashboard" links remain in the page structure, but the service behind them is retired. Don't expect to recover or create a UniversityStudy.ca profile.
- No live comparison tool. The program and school comparison features are not being maintained on this domain.
- No guarantee the old data is archived. The notice does not say historical tuition or program data is preserved anywhere on the site.
Practical next steps
- Decide what you actually need: tuition ranges, scholarship listings, or general program information.
- Go to Universities Canada (Univcan.ca) and use its tuition comparison and scholarship/program pages.
- For stories about what Canadian universities offer, browse Possible with U.
- If you want ongoing updates, use the newsletter form on the closure page — it only asks for an email address.
The site was an initiative of Universities Canada, and the closure notice is dated with a 2026 copyright line, indicating the retirement is current rather than a temporary outage.
