Medicine Hat College preparing for unique fall semester

Jun 25, 2020 | 11:29 AM

MEDICINE HAT, AB – Medicine Hat College is looking at a mix of online and blended programming for the fall semester.

“Medicine Hat College has been working diligently to ensure the best possible experience for new and continuing students, both face-to-face and online. As we look forward to the upcoming semester, we are paying a great detail of attention to both of these experiences,” explains Kevin Shufflebotham, president and CEO of MHC.

Shufflebotham adds learning that requires face-to-face interaction such as lab work and the use of special equipment will get priority access to college spaces.

On the digital side, the college has made investments in new technology to improve the virtual learning experience for online courses.

“From faculty to support staff, the library to counselling, advising to financial aid, we will continue to welcome students and are ready to help them succeed in the fall,” says Shufflebotham.
