I-400 Learning Environment

The College intends to respond to the learning needs of Students in the most appropriate and productive manner allowed by the resources available. The College recognizes that each Student is unique and, as much as possible, the College needs to provide teaching resources and infrastructure necessary for Student success, as well as Student support services that address the needs of its Student populations.

The learning environment encompasses all the Student encounters while interacting with the College in their quest to learn. This includes, but is not limited to, teaching modalities, faculty quality, support technology, course scheduling, physical surroundings, online learning environments, and the human and cultural dimensions that shape a learning environment.

To support inclusive and equitable educational opportunities for all Students, it is the expectation of the College to provide conditions that encourage Employees to utilize a wide range of teaching methodologies. It is expected that all instructional design and delivery be universal in nature, to meet the learning needs of all Students. This entails engaging Employees continuously in professional development related to planning, implementing, and reflecting on the learning experiences of our Students.

The College expects that all guidelines of the Americans with Disabilities Act are followed and that Students who are covered under the Act will be provided appropriate accommodations as defined within the Act.
