Overview

Strategic Mandate Agreements (SMAs) are a key component of our accountability framework for the postsecondary education system.

The 2020-2025 agreements highlight institutional priorities and focus on improving performance outcomes. They encourage institutions to direct their resources and invest in initiatives that will result in positive economic and labour market outcomes for students and the people of Ontario.

Agreements are updated each year based on the results of the SMA3 Annual Evaluation (2020–2025.)

Results of the SMA3 Year 1 Annual Evaluation (2020–21) and Year 2 Annual Evaluation (2021–2022) for each institution are published in the college and university agreements.
