Media Statement -- Learning Centres
SLC is evolving to meet the needs of today's students and our communities in Brockville and Cornwall. The college has undergone significant changes in recent months as we have reduced our program offerings, reduced and restructured our team, and begun work to adapt our operations.
Federal immigration policy changes have reduced international students' access to study in Ontario, a situation exacerbated by a provincial funding and tuition model for post-secondary education that has left us underfunded for close to a decade. Along with other Ontario colleges, SLC has taken action to remain financially sustainable. SLC is addressing a $25 million deficit for the upcoming year caused by a sharp drop in enrollment, with impacts beginning this spring.
