College and University Strategic Mandate Agreements: historical data, targets and results

Strategic Mandate Agreements (SMAs) are a key component of our accountability framework for the postsecondary education system.

The agreements highlight institutional priorities and focus on improving performance outcomes. They encourage institutions to direct their resources and invest in initiatives that will result in positive economic and labour market outcomes for students and the people of Ontario.

Ontario has signed agreements with each of the 45 publicly-assisted colleges and universities across the province.

Learn more about SMAs.

The following data will be refreshed annually by the ministry to display results from SMA3 Annual Evaluation process and update Allowable Performance Targets (APT) for the current year. The SMA3 Annual Evaluation will occur every year in the Fall-Winter and the updated appendix will be made publicly available the following Spring.

It should be noted that historical data reflects pre-COVID-19 context. Actual values achieved during the SMA3 period may include COVID-19 pandemic impacts.
