About Minister’s consent
Minister’s consent authorizes private institutions, out-of-province institutions and Ontario Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology to offer degree programs.
The consent process:
- Prior to the Minister granting consent, the Postsecondary Education Quality Assessment Board (PEQAB) reviews the program for which the school is seeking consent to offer a degree.
- After reviewing the quality of the program, PEQAB makes recommendations to the Minister who makes a decision on whether to grant consent for the program.
- The consent process is governed by the Post-secondary Education Choice and Excellence Act, 2000.
Find schools offering degrees under Minister’s consent on the PEQAB website.
To check on the degree-granting status in Ontario of any other postsecondary institution, please contact the Postsecondary Accountability Branch, Ministry of Colleges and Universities, at postsecondaryaccountability@ontario.ca.
