Biztech College—a private college in Mississauga—is struggling to remain open after losing a series of accreditations for its programs from Accreditation Canada, City News reports. After losing accreditation for both its cardiac and general sonography programs, the college was ordered by the Government of Ontario’s Ministry of Colleges, Universities, Research Excellence and Security to reimburse affected students. College founder Harpal Dharma said that Biztech is working towards reaccreditation in these programs through Accreditation Canada, but contends that the ministry is not giving him sufficient time to do so. If the college does not follow the ministry’s direction and reimburse students, Dharma said that the college will lose OSAP eligibility, which would potentially lead to the institution’s closure.
