About
The OVC is the only veterinary college in the province of Ontario, and one of only five current veterinary colleges across Canada. (The other four are at the Université de Montréal, University of Prince Edward Island, the University of Saskatchewan and the University of Calgary) The University of Calgary, which opened in 2008 is the youngest of the five, while the OVC is the oldest.
OVC is semi-autonomous from the University of Guelph. While registrations and fees are paid to the Guelph registrar, OVC has amenities such as its own Information Technology Services and student body council (the Central Veterinary Students Association). Until May 2009, it also had a functioning library. However, due to university cutbacks, most services and all non-reserve texts were transferred away from the OVC Learning Commons to the University of Guelph's McLaughlin library. Each year (referred to as a Phase) also has its own council which works with the CVSA.
