      History

      The Postsecondary Finance and Information Management Branch was established in 2008 after a Ministry reorganization in which the former Colleges and Universities branches of the Postsecondary Education Division were split functionally between policy advice (which moved to the Postsecondary Accountability Branch) and financing (which moved to the Finance and Information Management Branch).

      At its inception, the Postsecondary Finance and Information Management Branch consisted of the Colleges Finance Unit, the Universities Finance Unit, the Division Coordination Unit, and the Student Support- Finance and Information Management Unit. However, by 2015 only the Colleges and Universities finance units remained. In 2017, the Capital Funding and Programs Unit was added to the branch.
