College of New Caledonia

What College of New Caledonia does

College of New Caledonia (CNC) is a publicly funded post-secondary institution established in 1969 and headquartered in Prince George, British Columbia, operating under the BC College and Institute Act. It delivers academic programming across 8 areas of study — Business & Management, Health Sciences, Human Services, Technologies, Trades & Industry, University Studies, Community & Continuing Education, and Upgrading & Access — through five campuses (Prince George, Burns Lake, Mackenzie, Quesnel, Vanderhoof) serving Northern British Columbia. CNC supports domestic, international, and Indigenous students with targeted services including Aboriginal Resource Centres at every campus, an international agent network spanning East and West Africa, India, and the Philippines, and dual-credit partnerships with regional high schools through the Canfor Technical Centre.

The institution's technology backbone comprises Ellucian Cloud (powering CNC Connect student information system and the myCNC Info Hub), Moodle LMS for course delivery, Microsoft Office 365 ProPlus and Outlook for communication, PaperCut for print management, TeamDynamix for IT service management, and Eduroam-enabled campus-wide Wi-Fi installed under the multi-year Network Renewal Project. CNC operates dedicated applied research capacity through the CNC Research Forest and clinical training capacity via the on-campus Dental Clinic and its new mobile dental operatories serving long-term care residents.

Revenue is generated through four primary streams: (1) provincial and federal government grants and capital funding (BC Ministry of Infrastructure, Health Canada Oral Health Access Fund, BC/Canada labour-market training programs, WorkBC), (2) domestic and international tuition and program fees, (3) Continuing Education and Corporate Training Solutions including workforce development contracts, and (4) auxiliary services such as the Bookstore, Cafeteria, Kodiaks Restaurant and Catering, Campus Housing, parking, and Dental Services. The college maintains an alumni base exceeding 100,000 and an institutional legacy reinforced by an official Coat of Arms and formal Brand Toolkit.

Product overview

College of New Caledonia (CNC) is a public post-secondary institution serving Northern British Columbia across five campuses (Prince George, Burns Lake, Mackenzie, Quesnel, Vanderhoof). Rather than selling a single software product, CNC delivers an integrated academic and student-services platform composed of named modules: the Ellucian-powered CNC Connect student information system and myCNC Info Hub form the administrative backbone, the Moodle LMS delivers online learning, PaperCut powers printing services, and TeamDynamix hosts the IT Services portal. Layered atop this digital core are academic program portfolios organized into seven Areas of Study (Business & Management, Health Sciences, Human Services, Technologies, Trades & Industry, University Studies, Upgrading & Access), signature offerings such as the Dental Hygiene Program & Dental Clinic (now extended into mobile long-term care), International Education Services (with in-country agents across Africa, India, and the Philippines), Aboriginal Resource Centres at every campus, Applied Research & Innovation (including the CNC Research Forest), and student wellness, recreation, library, and WorkBC employment services. Recent infrastructure investment includes the multi-year Network Renewal Project (with Eduroam launched June 2024) and the Prince George Campus Building Envelope Project running through May 2027.
