I-400 Learning Environment

It is the intent of the College 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 a learning environment that considers the needs of all Students. The learning environment encompasses all the learner encounters while interacting with the College in their quest to learn.  This includes, but is not limited to, learning 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 learning methodologies. It is expected that all learning experience design and delivery be universal in nature, to meet the learning needs of all Students. This entails engaging Employees continuously in professional learning related to planning, implementing, and reflecting on the learning experiences of our Students. Additionally, 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.
