Minister’s Binding Policy Directives, and Operating Procedures

The delivery of programs of instruction is the core business of colleges of applied arts and technology in Ontario.  Colleges of applied arts and technology are established and governed by the Ontario Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology Act, 2002 and Regulations for the Act: O.Reg. 34/03.

A policy framework, consisting of a number of documents, sets out the roles and responsibilities of colleges in more detail than in the Act and regulation. This binding policy directive applies to all colleges of applied arts and technology and defines expectations for all programs of instruction offered by colleges regardless of the funding source, except for ministry-funded apprenticeship training.
