Overview
The Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities instituted a system of performance measures for its colleges in 1999. The measures are called Key Performance Indicators, or KPIs.

In the past, Niagara College has consistently monitored how well it was providing programs and services for its various student and client groups, and planned its investments accordingly.

The first four KPIs are measured through independent surveys of students, graduates and employers. The fifth KPI is measured by data provided by the college on the percentage of entering students who graduate within a timeframe determined by the Ministry.
