University charter
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
University charter is a charter given by provincial, state or regional governments to legitimize the university's existence.
[edit] Canada
In most Canadian province's university charters are in the form of Acts (e.g. York University Act). "The Royal Military College of Canada Degrees Act" of 1959 enables the Royal Military College of Canada in Kingston, Ontario to offer degrees in Arts, Science, and Engineering at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
