North Island College (NIC) has announced a blended approach for classes this fall.
Depending on their program, students may be taking part in fully digital classes, or a combination of digital and in-class learning.
Programs like business, digital design and development, Indigenous education, office administration, English and modern languages, humanities and social science and upgrading classes will be delivered through a combination of off-campus and digital classes that may be scheduled or not.

For more than 45 years, NIC has been facilitating connections and building community, a statement on its website says.
鈥淒uring the COVID-19 pandemic, you can continue to count on us to deliver valuable, relevant and high-quality instruction that will prepare you for success now and after the pandemic,鈥� the school said.
