ON-LINE LEARNING
Some call it distance learning, others distributed learning and still others blended learning; we call it a flexible, accessible and personalized way for our students to access our programs and courses.
At Lethbridge College, you'll find most of our programs have an online element. Some are offered only online, others offer a mix of classroom and online learning (blended), while others are strictly classroom-based. Online learning is great for those who live outside Lethbridge, but it's also handy if you require flexibility in your daily schedule.
Through our flexible course offerings, you can:
- earn college credits without coming on campus
- choose courses and timelines that suit your goals
- complete a college program while working
- take courses which complement on-campus courses.
Application Process:
Distributed/online Learning students apply to a College program following the admission procedures outlined in the College calendar. You should apply early. Another option is to apply as an undeclared student which allows you to take up to four courses (maximum two per term).
Programs Offering Courses Through Distributed/Online Learning
