Campus Snapshot: A qualititative study on perceptions of students' at the University College of the Fraser Valley (2007)
This qualitatitive study represents perceptions of students regarding campus environment and campus life at University College of the Fraser Valley (UCFV), a public four-year university-college. Participants were asked to photograph and document their impressions of UCFV, including images that represented their institution. Analysis of the participants’ photographs and journals revealed five interrelated themes: student support services, student space, venues for self-expression, the physical environment of the campus, and its physical growth. The results of this study were presented to policymakers as recommendations to the planning and development of the institution’s academic and physical environment.  

Destinations and Aspirations of Fraser Region Secondary School Graduates of 2003/04 Who Did Not Pursue Public Post-Secondary Education in 2004/05 in British Columbia (2006)
The Fraser Region Consortium (FRC), including Douglas College, Kwantlen University College, University College of the Fraser Valley (UCFV) and Simon Fraser University (SFU) wanted to gain a better understanding of the further education destinations, intentions and attitudes of recent high school graduates by speaking directly to students via a telephone survey in March, April and May of 2006. The FRC, thought Malatest and Associates, surveyed roughly 2,300 Fraser Region secondary school graduates of 2003/04 who were not registered at a BC post-secondary institution in the 2004/05 registration year.

At Our Doors (2003)
This is a collaborative report to the Ministry of Advanced Education produced by representatives from UCFV, Douglas College, Kwantlen University College, and Simon Fraser University.  The report identifies the amount of additional enrolment capacity that will be required over the next decade to serve the Fraser Region's growing population and to meet its need for higher levels of educational attainments.  The report provides three scenarios to illustrate the interaction of the differential demographic trends with differing  participation rates.  The third scenario, which is considered the most realistic, forecasts a modest growth in participation rates beyond the provincial average.  The result is that postsecondary enrolment demand in the Fraser Region will increase by about 14,000 FTE's over the next eight years.
