     COPUS was formed in 1977 
     
     in response to the needs and 
     
     concerns of part-time university 
     
     students across Canada. It’s 
     
     mandate (1989) now includes 
     
     all post-secondary part-time stu- 
     
     dents and it frequently represents 
     
     the concerns of mature full-time 
     
     post secondary students. Mapus 
     
     is a full member of COPUS and 
     
     was established in 1982 to ensure 
     
     that mature full-time and part- 
     
     time students are an intergral and 
     
     acknowledged part of the UPEI 
     
     community. At UPEI almost 40% 
     
     of the student population is made 
     
     up of mature full-time and part— 
     
     time students. Conservative es- 
     
     timates of university attendance 
     
     across Canada indicate that cur- 
     
     rently only half of the univer- 
     
     sity student population is made 
     
     up of students who enter imme- 
     
     diately following high school in a 
     
     full time basis.
