History
The Common Services Division was established within the Ontario Ministry of Colleges and Universities in 1973. The division consisted of the Administrative Services Branch (later named the Accounts and Administrative Services Branch), the Information Branch (later named the Information Resources Branch), the Institutional Accounting and Architectural Services Branch, the Statistics Branch, and the Student Awards Branch. The Personnel Branch was transferred to the division in 1975 from the Office of the Deputy Minister. The division ceased to exist in 1979 when the Ontario Ministry of Colleges and Universities and the Ontario Ministry of Education came under the jurisdiction of a single Minister. With this change, the administration and financial services for both Ministries were jointly carried out by the Administration and Finance Division (later named the Administration Division) of the Ministry of Education.
