What to Expect from Your Academic Term
Given the current COVID-19 pandemic, all of our theory-based courses will be delivered online. If your program delivers courses that require in-person class time or placements, they may either be replaced by:
● online learning experiences (where appropriate), and/or
● scheduled face-to-face with a revised schedule later in the year (if permitted)
At Northern College, we believe in learning while doing. Your faculty will guide you through this when the time comes. We are following all of the established physical distancing guidelines and complying with all of the government regulations to keep us all safe while you learn.
Program Delivery Method
Given the COVID-19 pandemic, Northern College has transitioned to online learning except for certain courses within programs that have hands-on practical components.
Please study from home as much as possible. If you need to be on campus, restrictions and protocols are in place to prevent the spread of the virus. Masks are required, a screening process is in place, and other hygiene protocols, including handwashing and not touching one’s face, apply.
