Question 25: Years of schooling (university)

Indicate the number of academic years successfully completed regardless of the length of time it may have taken. For persons who attended a university on the semester system, consider two semesters with a regular course load the equivalent of one academic year.
For persons who received university training by correspondence, or attended classes part time during the day or evening, covert their accumulated credits to the equivalent number of years in the full-time regular program.
For persons who studied in the classical colleges of Quebec, consider Philo I and Philo II as first and second year equivalents to university, respectively. Do not, however, include Belles-Lettres and Rhétorique with university education.
Teacher training received from a faculty of education that was associated with an accredited university should be reported as university education. Otherwise, this type of training should be included in Question 26.
