The University Presidents' Council of British Columbia (TUPC) conducts an annual survey of baccalaureate graduates of BC's public universities to identify employment status, occupation, current job earnings, program satisfaction, further education, education financing, and skills development.

Occasionally a unique 'special topic' such as computer skills and use (1997), student services (1997), international education (2000), and volunteerism (2001) is included in the questionnaire.

Graduates are surveyed two years and five years after graduation. The first survey was conducted in 1995. Five universities are currently participating in the project: The University of British Columbia, Simon Fraser University, University of Victoria, University of Northern British Columbia, and Royal Roads University.
