Student Responsibilities and Expectations
Flexible learning such as online and hybrid courses are not suited to
all learners. It is important to recognize one's strength and weakness
as a learner to assess if online learning is a good fit. If you are a
student considering an online or hybrid course, please use this tool to assess your readiness in online learning.
Online learning also requires an established set of online skills.
St. Luke's College helps students expand that knowledge through
orientation, but the basic ability to use email, the computer and
familiarity with online searches and tools is essential. As a student
participating in online courses, it is expected that you have basic
computer skills. If you do not have these skills, your success in the
course may be impacted. Click here for Distance Education Course Guide.
Available Student Services for Online Students
All student services available to a student in face-to-face courses
are also available to students in online/hybrid courses. Communication
can occur through the use of the phone or email. Participation in live
on-campus events are also available upon request.
Note: All logistics and costs for transportation and lodging
associated with required face-to-face sessions on campus are the
student's responsibility. Required equipment including hardware and
software, speakers, microphones, webcams, etc. are the responsibility of
the student.
