Collège Acadie Î.-P.-É. is a Francophone post-secondary community college in the Canadian province of Prince Edward Island with headquarters in the community of Wellington.[1] It was originally a campus of Collège de l'Acadie which served Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. When the Nova Scotia operations became part of Université Sainte-Anne, its operations in Prince Edward Island were renamed Collège Acadie Î.-P.-É.
