The College says the cancellations are in response to an $8 million revenue shortfall, caused by a decline in international student enrolment.

The College says the decision followed a thorough and comprehensive review process noting each program was evaluated based on key criteria, including enrolment trends, financial sustainability, labour market demand and potential for future growth.

A statement from the College reads in part:

“We recognize that these changes are difficult. However, they are necessary to ensure CNC’s long-term sustainability and our ability to continue offering high-quality, relevant programs that prepare students for meaningful careers and contribute to the vitality of communities across the North.”
