4. Faculty members assigned to the Sidney campus offer general and transfer-level<br />
coursework on campus, as well as via the ITV system to Alliance and Scottsbluff<br />
simultaneously. Even when the ITV system is used, as it is used to broadcast from all<br />
three sites, although from Scottsbluff and Sidney most often, instructors travel on occasion<br />
to the receiving site in order to meet the remote-location students in person. Since <strong>WNCC</strong><br />
has the additional ITV system which links only the Alliance and Sidney campuses, classes<br />
are broadcast quite often just between those two locations, including several business and<br />
nursing classes. Instructors drive between the two campuses as often as once each week.<br />
The Sidney campus also houses unique vocational programs, as are illustrated in a table<br />
to follow.<br />
