The 'University College of the North (UCN)' is a post-secondary institution located in northern Manitoba, Canada offering certificate, business, degree and diploma programs.
It was established on July 1, 2004 with the passage of the ''University of the North Act'' in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba. It is the successor to the former 'Keewatin Community College (KCC)'.
It has two campuses, in The Pas and Thompson, with Thompson establishing a new campus and facility in the near future. As well, there are twelve regional centres and campuses, in Churchill, Cross Lake, Easterville, Flin Flon, Split Lake, Swan River, Gillam, Grand Rapids, Norway House, Pukatawagan, Nelson House, and St. Theresa Point. Each year it grows to include more Northern and Aboriginal communities, with students coming from all over Northern Manitoba, expanding its diversity.
