Accreditation
The Ontario Veterinary College (OVC) is fully accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) and the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association (CVMA) Council on Education (COE). OVC has been accredited since 1920. COE affirmed the OVC's accreditation in October 2025, and its next reaffirmation review is set to begin in 2029.
