he coronavirus has cut a swath through
everyday life, and Douglas College (DC)
is no exception.
After having to move all winter
classes online due to the virus, DC has
been forced to extend its non in-person
class offerings for the entire summer
semester. “In support of the Public Health
Officer’s social distancing directive, and in
recognition of students’ planning needs,
Douglas College has made the difficult
decision to move all summer 2020 courses
online. There will be no in-person classes
for the summer term.”
Through a correspondence email,
the Other Press talked with the DC
administration and asked them a variety
of questions regarding exactly how the
summer semester will be conducted.
This will be the first time DC has
offered classes at are 100 percent online.
Along with this, even if the coronavirus
subsides at some point during the
semester, classes will remain online for
the entire semester. For those worried that
they will not be able to take their classes
online due to the nature of the course, DC
has said that any classes that cannot be
done online will be deferred to the next
semester. This deferment will also have
to apply to any students that do not have
access to a computer, as computers will
not be provided by the school.
The switch to online will involve a
lot more than simply putting a program
online for students to access. One problem
many students will have is getting their
books and other materials they may
need for the class. DC said that they are
working with their suppliers to ensure
that students have the books and supplies
that they need for the next semester. This
includes looking into different delivery
methods for the books.
When asked if classes will be cheaper
due to the fact that they will be online, DC
said no. “Tuition fees are based on credits
received per course. While the delivery

format of our courses has changed, these
courses continue to be taught by the
same experienced faculty as they would

full academic credit and have access

student services will remain available,
