St. Lawrence College (SLC) has announced the suspension of intakes to programs at their three campuses beginning with the spring, 2025 semester. Despite these changes, SLC remains committed to supporting students, employers, and the broader Eastern Ontario community with their training and workforce needs.
“Since January of last year, a series of federal government policy decisions have drastically affected our ability to grow and operate as usual. Many of the changes were short-sighted and did not consider what makes colleges, the regions that we serve, and our students unique. Colleges have navigated a long list of restrictions and cutbacks in the past 12 months, leading to us having to suspend programs. As a driver of workforce growth and a community leader, we are committed to maintaining a presence in the communities that we serve, and to helping our students and graduates succeed," said Glenn Vollebregt, SLC President and CEO.
In total, 55 program intakes will be suspended, representing approximately 40 per cent of college programming. 51 of the programs are post-secondary degree, diploma, or credential programs, and four are apprenticeships.

NOTE: Students currently enrolled in a program that is being suspended are not impacted and can continue their studies as originally planned.
