Trillium College has temporarily suspended classroom and online instruction at its campuses, including those in Kingston and Cobourg, following Ontario’s decision to pause student financial assistance to private post-secondary institutions.
The province halted Ontario Student Assistance Program payments to career colleges and other private institutions while an audit examines concerns about potential misuse of funding.
Colleges and Universities Minister Nolan Quinn has cited evidence of systemic issues, though he has not identified specific colleges under investigation.
Trillium College says continuing normal operations without a reliable funding solution could put students at greater risk of not completing their programs in an orderly manner.
