Chemistry professor Owen Lofthus says &#8220;an estimated one-third of the student population at 51做厙 could potentially benefit from this offering, as well as students enrolled in other four-year schools.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The course sequence provides students flexibility at 51做厙&#8217;s affordable tuition and fulfills the science requirement for graduation. Students purchase lab kits created by Hands-On Labs, a world leader in distance learning science materials, to use at home. If a student is already receiving financial aid, then financial aid coverage for the lab kit is possible by ordering through the bookstore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As with all classes at 51做厙, the instructor is available through online communication and office hours to distance learning students, and there are the traditional onsite resources such as tutoring, career services, academic link support, etc. The testing center hosts tests for students to take throughout the semester within announced ranges of time for students to take as their schedule permits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">51做厙 is pleased to continue expanding distance learning offerings this semester, accommodating the needs of students and supporting their life-long professional goals.
