History
The Arctic College was founded on the basis of the Center for Professional Education for Adults, created in 1968 by the Northwest Territories . The final reorganization took place in 1999 with the formal formation of the territory of Nunavut.
In 2016, studies were conducted on the possibility of reorganizing the Arctic College into a full-fledged university, during which it was found that the government of Nunavut would most likely open a new institution that would work closely with the college, and the national organization Universities of Canada, with 97 member institutions, noticed that Nunavut College does not have enough full-time students [3] .
Structure
Arctic College has three campuses : Nunatta, Kitikmeot and Kivalliq , as well as 24 general education centers [4] :
- The headquarters of the college is located in Arviat , a settlement within the region of Kivallik .
- The Quickeot Campus is located in Cambridge Bay , the administrative center of the Quicmeot region. In 2016, the construction of a new residence was completed, with a kindergarten, a training center and a hostel [5] .
- Campus Kivallik - in the settlement of Rankin-Inlet , in the same place are located the training center of Nunavut ( Sanatuliqsarvik or Nunavut Trades Training Center ) and Kivallik Hall.
- Campus Nunatta - in Iqaluita .
- The Nunavut Research Institute with centers in Arviat, Cambridge Bay, Rankin Inlet, Iqaluita and Igloolik . It is the Institute that issues licenses for field research (about 150 annually) [2] .

On campuses housing is available for permanent residence of students. The college also provides a place to give lectures and is a member of the University of the Arctic International Association of Subpolar Universities ( UArctic ) [7] . Other partnerships (education, law , nursing ) include [2] :

Indian Question
The Kivalliq Hall building in Rankin Inlet was built in 1984 by the government of the Northwest Territories and was used as a boarding school to train the local population (aged 14 to 21 years) from 1985 to 1995. Now, some see this establishment as a typical boarding school for Indians , since not all of the staff were Inuit [9] . In this regard, and the existing disagreements on the Indian issue in Canada [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] , claims to the former boarding school Kivallik Hall are sometimes mistakenly addressed to the Arctic College of Nunavut [9] .
