Distance / Online Learning
Do you live too far away from a Selkirk College campus to take advantage of our many courses and programs? Are you already working and simply don't have time to take that course to help you in your job or provide you with additional skills and knowledge to get another you would enjoy more? Why not think about an alternative method of meeting your educational goals. Selkirk College offers flexible learning opportunities via distance. A number of our programs and courses are delivered via the Internet, by traditional, paper-based distance education or a combination of both.
Courses delivered via the internet help meet the needs of busy people by providing flexibility and control of the learning situation. Timelines are important; students have the opportunity to schedule their time for learning around work demands, raising a family and other priorities. An internet connection and email are essential for meaningful interaction with the instructor and classmates. Choose to learn where you're at.
Online learning is unlike the traditional classroom setting. With the freedom and flexibility of the online environment comes responsibility. The online process takes a real commitment and discipline to remain engaged in your learning. To find out if online learning might be a fit for you, we encourage you to visit the following resource sites:
