Loyalist College is built upon the lands governed by the Dish with One Spoon wampum agreement. We affirm and thank the Haudenosaunee, Anishinaabeg, and Huron-Wendat nations for their continued caretaking of the land. We offer respect to Indigenous people from all nations who call this area home. We honour traditional knowledge keepers, past, present, and future.
At Loyalist, we strive to be an agent of change and a force for good, both in the communities we’re a part of and in the communities we create. Our commitment begins with supporting and empowering our students to succeed on any path they choose.
Our academic programs are responsive and innovative, designed to solve pressing social and economic challenges and meet the evolving needs of our regional industry and community partners. Our wraparound support services, vibrant student life activities and a close-knit community ensure that every student feels like they belong. Loyalist graduates enter the workforce equipped with the knowledge they need to be better global citizens, and with future-focused skills to lead change in their fields.
With locations in Belleville, Bancroft, Port Hope and Tyendinaga, we believe our institutional responsibility extends beyond the classroom to seeing the big picture for the communities we serve.
Our expertise in applied research and deep connections to local industry support economic development, to the benefit of businesses, entrepreneurs, changemakers and innovators.
Our commitment to decolonization, and the pursuit of a more inclusive, equitable world, means we hold ourselves accountable to the diverse perspectives, cultures and experiences that shape our communities.
