Why does the Board have three categories of handbooks and guidelines?
The Board has three sets of handbooks and submission guidelines: 1. for Ontario Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology (CAATS); 2. for other public institutions; and 3. for private institutions While there is substantial consistency among the three sets of documents, they reflect different requirements among the three categories of institutions set out in the Post-secondary Education Choice and Excellence Act, 2000 (the Act), Regulations (279/02, 280/02, 281/02) made under the Act and, in the case of colleges, policy directives from the Minister.
