Since 1999, the Applicant Equity Census has been administered to all students applying to undergraduate and graduate programs at Queen's University. The Census asks applicants to voluntarily indicate whether they identify as an Indigenous person, a person with a disability, and/or a racialized person. It also seeks to determine the overall economic makeup of applicants by asking for information on family gross income, the level of parental education and the size of the applicant's home town. Responses are not used in the admission selection process; rather, the collected information is utilized for planning purposes in the pursuit of educational equity.
