University of Calgary

The University of Calgary is a global intellectual hub located in Canada’s most enterprising city. In this spirited, high-quality learning environment, students will thrive in programs made rich by research, hands-on experiences and entrepreneurial thinking. By 2022, we will be recognized as one of Canada’s top five research universities, fully engaging the communities we both serve and lead.

Our Eyes High strategic plan drives our institution at the highest level, and we report on our progress to our community every year through our Community Report. Whether it’s our overall direction, our foundational commitments or areas important to our community, such as sustainability and mental health, we have well-articulated plans developed through consultation with our community that help us progress towards our goals.

The expectations we live up to

The University of Calgary is expected to achieve focused outcomes that support and encourage engagement, economic, social, and cultural prosperity, and are valuable to all Albertans.

Each spring, the University of Calgary updates and submits its Comprehensive Institutional Plan (CIP), a three-year, integrated planning document that satisfies legislated requirements described within the Post-Secondary Learning Act and the Fiscal Planning and Transparency Act.

Each fall, the university reports on that plan with an Annual Report to Government, which includes our financial statements.

We also supplement these formal submissions with a Community Report that showcases the progress we've made over the course of the previous year.
