A. 2022-2025 INSTITUTIONAL PLAN

The development of NWC’s 2022-25 Business Plan includes the following assumptions: i) All programs will occur through face to face delivery for the 2022-23 academic year. Technology based solutions will still be in place, including but not limited to blended delivery. ii) The College will return to pre-Covid enrolments and seat capacity - now that the Covid restrictions have been removed. iii) NWC is anticipating a 4% increase in tuition as we return to pre-Covid conditions. iv) The impact of the change in public policy to Adult Basic Education student financial assistance will not be well known for a year. The College has assumed fewer students will be able to participate in programming and forecasted seats accordingly. v) Local business support for workforce training will return to pre-Covid participation rates. vi) The College will continue to require additional technology support for staff and students. vii) Implementation of Covid health and safety protocols are part of regular operations. viii) Activities and priorities as established and identified for the 2022-25 academic years are based on our new 2022-25 strategic plan (to be discussed below). ix) Ministry support to ensure post-secondary institutions operate in a collaborative and noncompetitive manner and will assist in preventing other institutions from providing programs and services in the NWC region.
