			The Canadian constitution provides each province with the responsibility for higher education and there is no corresponding national federal ministry of higher education.

			Higher education in Ontario includes postsecondary education and skills training regulated by the Ministry of Training, Colleges, and Universities and provided by universities, colleges of applied arts and technology, and private career colleges.

			The ministry administers laws covering:
			# 22 public universities
			# 24 colleges
			# 17 privately funded degree granting institutions
			# over 500 private career colleges.

			Within Canadian federalism the division of responsibilities and taxing powers between the Ontario and Canadian governments creates the need for cooperation to fund and deliver higher education to students. Each higher education system aims to improve participation, access, and mobility for students.

			A university and college admissions system manages the process of students' entry into higher education institutions. The Ontario Universities' Application Centre and Ontario College Application Service are two central organizations that assist with this admissions process.

			Upon admission, students may get involved with regional student representation with the Canadian Federation of Students, the Canadian Alliance of Student Associations, the Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance, or through the College Student Alliance in Ontario.
