Page 77: The section entitled “FlexLearn and Online” has been updated to include mention of the <strong>College</strong>’s newest learning<br />
modality: Hybrid education.<br />
All <strong>Mt</strong>. <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>College</strong> degrees are offered via the FlexLearn system – the <strong>College</strong>’s innovative approach that combines<br />
traditional on campus education with the flexibility of online and hybrid learning. Students also have the option of<br />
enrolling in one of the <strong>College</strong>’s distance education programs and completing all courses fully online, an excellent<br />
option for motivated students who live out of the area.<br />
<strong>Mt</strong>. <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>College</strong> uses the services of e<strong>College</strong> to deliver online courses, as well as the online component of hybrid<br />
courses. Technical assistance is available to students twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Upon enrollment,<br />
students receive orientation on how to access the various services provided by <strong>Mt</strong>. <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>College</strong> and e<strong>College</strong>.<br />
Students enrolled in online courses complete lectures and labs online, while those enrolled in hybrid courses enjoy the<br />
convenience of online lectures combined with a weekly session on campus with the professor for hands-on lab time.<br />
Whether a student enrolls in an online, hybrid or FlexLearn course, the education gained remains consistent. The<br />
delivery system may differ, but degree completion requirements and student learning outcomes are specific to the<br />
program of enrollment, not the medium of study.<br />
