Ontario. Colleges and Student Support Division

• Colleges and Student Support Division

• Ontario. Colleges, Universities and Student Support Division

In the fall of 1985, all Divisions within the Ontario Ministry of Colleges and Universities were dissolved and replaced by one Office of the Assistant Deputy Minister for the entire Ministry. In 1986, Divisions were re-established. These included the Colleges and Student Support Division and the Universities and Research Support Division, both headed by their own Assistant Deputy Minister. The Colleges and Student Support Division consisted of the College Affairs Branch (which included the Private Vocational Schools unit) and the Student Awards Branch. In 1990, the Division's functions were expanded and it became known as the Colleges, Universities, and Student Support Division. Later that year, the new Division was renamed the Postsecondary Institutions Division.

The Colleges and Student Support Division had general oversight of the College Affairs Branch (which included the Private Vocational Schools unit) and the Student Awards Branch. Activities of the division included: the formulation and implementation of planning and policy for the Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology (CAATs), often called community colleges; the registration and regulation of private vocational schools; and the administration of the many functions and programs which offered financial assistance in the form of loans, grants, or bursaries to students studying at colleges and universities.
