College of New Caledonia's Arms, Supporters, Flag and Badge were registered with the Canadian Heraldic Authority on June 4, 1996.

CNC has since expanded across central British Columbia with campuses in Quesnel, Mackenzie, "Lakes District" in Burns Lake, Valemount, and "Nechako" in Fort St. James, Fraser Lake and Vanderhoof.
Credits can be transferred to University of British Columbia, Simon Fraser University, University of Victoria, Thompson Rivers University, University of Northern British Columbia, and Royal Roads University toward a four year degree.
The College of New Caledonia and the Emily Carr University of Art and Design have created a Fine Arts program. Students can take basic first year courses at the CNC campus in Prince George, then transfer to the Emily Carr campus in Vancouver for the final three years.
