UNBC’s provost Dan Ryan joined numerous other BC post-secondary officials in an open letter addressing university students in the province.
The shift to online learning was emphasized in the letter:
“Most of you will experience an online learning environment this fall, except for those situations where in-person experiences are essential to learning outcomes and can be managed safely.”
Student concerns about the new format were also addressed.
“We also know some of you are concerned about the quality of learning that will occur outside the conventional classroom or laboratory,” the letter read, continuing “your opportunities to learn from leading experts in your field and broaden your intellectual horizons will still be available to you, regardless of where you are.”
The university officials promised students would have access to resources that will allow them to thrive in online learning environments, including IT, counselling, and financial aid.
UNBC has published the complete letter online.
