Ontario delayed inspections of two career colleges later given 'fails': court docs
The schools were approved for another year of OSAP funding before inspectors found evidence of irregularities and third-party course completion.
- Ontario delayed inspections of two Academy of Learning colleges, court records showed Tuesday, allowing the schools to receive funding approval before ultimately receiving a 'fail' for financial aid irregularities.
- The Ministry of Colleges and Universities sent inspection notices on October 1, 2024, but delayed in-person visits until July and August 2025, citing role transitions and new inspection procedures.
- Successful OSAP applications at the two schools totaled $173 million in 2024-25, rising to $219 million when including the North York branch, compared to $385 million for all publicly funded colleges.
- Inspectors found evidence of third parties completing coursework and students unable to name their school, prompting the government to bar the locations from OSAP eligibility until 2030.
- Liberal colleges and universities critic Tyler Watt called the delay mismanagement, while the Academy of Learning rejected wrongdoing allegations, attributing enrolment declines to uncertainty about their funding status.
