The Quebec Administrative Tribunal (TAQ) issued a decision on July 28, 2026 that permits Collège supérieur de Montréal and Collège supérieur de Sherbrooke to restart their teaching activities without delay. The order overturns the provincial government’s earlier refusal to renew the operating permits of both private institutions, effectively lifting the bar that had prevented them from offering classes.
The tribunal’s ruling authorizes the two colleges to resume instruction immediately in their respective cities of Montreal and Sherbrooke. By suspending the government’s decision not to renew the permits, the TAQ restored the colleges’ legal right to operate and to admit students for the current academic term.
Both Collège supérieur de Montréal and Collège supérieur de Sherbrooke had been barred from operating after the Quebec government declined to extend their permits. The institutions responded by filing appeals with the Quebec Administrative Tribunal, seeking a reversal of the non‑renewal. The tribunal’s recent decision represents the culmination of that legal challenge, granting the colleges the ability to continue their educational programs.
The outcome underscores the tribunal’s role in reviewing administrative actions taken by the provincial government. With the immediate effect of the ruling, faculty, staff, and students at the two private colleges can proceed with scheduled courses, and the institutions can re‑establish normal operations in the province.
