The Great Plains College Accessibility Plan aims to identify, remove, and prevent barriers for persons with disabilities, ensuring equitable access to programs, services, and opportunities. It focuses on three main goals: improving physical accessibility across campuses, increasing awareness of accessibility services for students, and enhancing employee knowledge of accessibility. The plan's vision is to create an inclusive environment where all individuals can learn, work, and thrive without barriers.

This action plan outlines Great Plains College's commitment to Indigenous engagement, reconciliation, and inclusive education for the 2025-2028 period. It is built upon the seven guiding principles of Colleges and Institutes Canada's Indigenous Education Protocol, which include prioritizing Indigenous education, ensuring respectful governance structures, integrating Indigenous traditions into curriculum, fostering understanding between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples, increasing Indigenous employment, establishing Indigenous-centered services, and building accountable relationships with Indigenous communities. The plan aims to achieve meaningful progress and lasting impact, guided by local Indigenous Elders and Knowledge Keepers, and is conceptualized as a 'Living Commitment' informed by the Medicine Wheel's holistic framework of commitment, illumination, activation, and renewal.

The Great Plains College's 2025-2026 Business Plan focuses on offering programs and services within Saskatchewan's regional college system, emphasizing accessibility and affordability through scholarships. It aims to meet the needs of learners, employers, and communities by building careers and partnerships, aligning with the Saskatchewan Growth Plan 2020-2030. The plan addresses challenges such as sector underfunding, enrolment declines, and rising operational costs, while prioritizing collaboration, external relations, and revenue diversification. Key initiatives include capital investments, sustainable programming, international education, employee engagement, and industry partnerships, with a resilient mindset to ensure a quality learning environment and long-term sustainability.

The 2022-2027 Strategic Plan for Great Plains College focuses on optimizing student success, valuing employees, building partnerships, and delivering education to meet labor market demands. The plan aims to improve pathways to employment or further education, support student well-being, promote a safe and collaborative work environment, and engage stakeholders to deliver quality training for regional and provincial labor market needs. The college seeks to be a leader in Saskatchewan by fostering growth, prosperity, and quality of life through education and training.
