In addition to the policies and processes of individual institutions, the following eight Canadian provinces have established a second level of higher education quality assurance. This process may function within, and be related to, the higher education institutions of a single province. Alternatively, it may be regional, covering the higher education institutions of two or more provinces. The provincial or regional process may be provided by an organization representing the universities, may be provided by an agency of the provincial government, or may be a joint activity of government and institutions.
