Aurora College Yellowknife North West Territories

In 1986, the Arctic College Act established Artic College as a corporate entity seperate from the government, and gave Artic the mandate to deliver adult and post-secondary education.

Starting in 1987 community learning centres across the North joined the College system, a process which was completed in 1990.

In June 1992 as part of the government's decentralization strategy, the Yellowknife head office of Arctic College would be transferred to the communities of Fort Smith and Iqaluit in preparation for the creation of two colleges from Arctic College. On January 1, 1995, two colleges were created - Nunavut Arctic College in the Eastern Arctic, and Aurora College in the Western Arctic.

In January 1995, the operations of the former Science Institute of the Northwest Territories were amalgamated with the new colleges. The portion which now functions as a division of Aurora College is called the Aurora Research Institute, and offers licensing and research assistance in the western NWT.

Aurora College has a mandate to deliver community-centred post-secondary programs that accurately reflect Northern culture and the needs of the Northern labour market. Aurora College is focused on Student Success and is committed to supporting the development of Northern society through excellence in education, training and research that are culturally sensitive and responsive to the people of the north.
