Colleges

Minister’s Binding Policy Directives, and Operating Procedures

Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology (CAAT) 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. Three types of policy framework guides are used to convey this information:

  • Minister's Binding Policy Directives define the ministry's expectations for the college system to comply with the Act and regulation.
  • Operating procedures set out specific requirements and procedures to comply with the Act, regulation and/or Minister's Binding Policy Directives.
  • Resource documents set out suggested, or best, practices that colleges may choose to use at their discretion.
