Delivery Methods
Online Learning
Online learning is offered through OntarioLearn - a consortium of 22 colleges in Ontario that have joined together to offer online courses in a way that promotes convenience, quality and variety. Please note that even though some of our in-class courses may have an online substitute, the textbooks, the course name, requirements and prerequisites may differ between the online courses and the in-class courses. Visit www.ontariolearn.com for a complete listing of online courses. You can register with Sault College for all OntarioLearn courses.
Independent Study
With this learning method, you can start anytime. Upon registration, a facilitator will be assigned to you for the duration of your course. This mode of learning is truly independent and requires that you be very self-motivated and disciplined.
