Elections

Ontario Regulation 34/03 requires that each college board of governors include one student, one academic staff member, one administrative staff member, and one support staff member. These governors are elected by their respective constituencies.

Subject to applicable legislation and regulations, the term of office for an appointed or elected Governor (excluding the Student Governor) is determined by the Lieutenant Governor in Council or the Board, as applicable, and may not exceed three years. Governors may be reappointed or re-elected for one additional consecutive term, for a maximum of six consecutive years of service.

Governor terms align with the academic year and run from September 1 to August 31.

After a two-year absence from the Board, a Governor other than a Student Governor is eligible for reappointment or re-election for additional terms, subject to the term limits set out in Board policy and applicable legislation.
