Academics and Student Supports

Academics

Throughout the course of the pandemic, Red River College Polytechnic adapted program delivery methods to prioritize the health and safety of students and employees, and provide learners with the high-quality education and training to support their future careers.

Visit the Program Delivery page to learn more about the College’s current approach to course delivery methods.

Flexible Online Delivery Model

As a response to the pandemic, RRC Polytech launched a Flexible Online Delivery Model to ensure meaningful, high-quality learning experiences for students in 2020 and beyond. The Flexible Online Delivery Model outlines how to develop and deliver RRC Polytech programs and courses following the goals, guiding principles, and standards required going forward.

Academic Success Centre

ASC staff have developed online versions of the following services: review workshops, help desks, staff and peer tutoring, academic coaching, EAL supports, study skills training, and diversity training.

Students can access strategies to adjust study habits during COVID -19, including staying organized; avoiding multitasking; making the most of video lectures; setting a schedule; working with a group or team, and staying connected to other people.

Counselling Services

Counselling Services is now providing services remotely. Students can have scheduled appointments with a counsellor by phone or WebEx.

  • Students currently connected with a counsellor can reach their counsellor by email to arrange for this.
  • Students who do not already have a counsellor can complete our online intake.

Students can also subscribe to RRC Polytech’s Wellness Blog for helpful information on managing anxiety/or stress.

If you are concerned about a student’s mental health and would like to consult on how best to support the student, contact Laureen Janzen at ljanzen@rrc.ca.
