Court records show Ontario's 'serious concerns' about three career colleges
Inspectors found rapid course completions, shared logins and students unable to identify their programs, prompting the province to cut aid eligibility for the schools.
- On May 1, Colleges and Universities Minister Nolan Quinn informed five career colleges, including three Academy of Learning locations, they would lose Ontario Student Assistance Program eligibility as of Aug. 1.
- Government inspections revealed evidence suggesting third parties completed coursework, with some students unable to name their program, prompting Quinn's decision to revoke eligibility.
- Inspectors found one student at a Brampton location completed quizzes in less than 15 minutes, while a North York account was accessed from at least 211 IP addresses, suggesting "shared login credentials, unauthorized access, and/or co-ordinated activity among users."
- The Academy applied for judicial review, denying most allegations while stating it implemented "extensive regulatory review, corrective action plans, internal reviews, and independent compliance monitoring" since concerns were raised.
- Career Colleges Ontario flagged the three Academy locations in January 2025 for "concerning" application growth, with data showing about 14,800 students received more than $219 million in OSAP grants during 2024-25.
