Summary of Proposal:
The Northern Ontario School of Medicine University Act, 2021, continues the Northern Ontario School of Medicine (NOSM) as an independent university with degree-granting authority.
The Northern Ontario School of Medicine University Act, 2021 is not yet in force. It will come into force on a date to be named by proclamation of the Lieutenant Governor.

• Objects and special mission of the University
• Degrees that the University may grant
• Details on the University's Board of Governors and the Senate
• Appointment of a chancellor of the University and the chancellor's duties
• Transitional matters including matters relating to the first Board and Senate of the University
and the recognition of credits.
For details on the ministry's proposed regulation, please see the attached. We invite you to submit comments for the Ministry of Colleges and Universities' consideration.
