The Government of Northwest Territories has reportedly rejected the College of Northern Canada’s accreditation following a review. In its rejection letters, the NWT Department of Education, Culture, and Employment cited concerns such as the unclear relevance of the college’s programs to Northern Canada and its labour market; a lack of Indigenous instructors or knowledge; a projected international student ratio exceeding NWT’s cap; and a reliance on online learning, which poses challenges for remote communities. The letters also identified strengths and weaknesses in the individual programs that the college planned to offer. CBC reports that the college is still operating.
