Part-time Technical Vocational Student,

Please be advised that Red River College has decided to cancel all part-time courses for the Winter 2 term of the Part-time Technical Vocational Teacher Education Program.

This decision was made as a concerted effort to keep everyone safe and available for immediate personal and work related concerns. Technical Vocational students are primarily teachers and instructors themselves who will be busy converting their own face to face courses to alternate remote delivery formats as well as addressing childcare needs, work-from-home plans, and the like.

We will automatically withdraw you from all courses currently registered. See exceptions below.

We are currently reviewing our Spring/Summer schedule to ensure that needed prerequisites are provided. We will be in touch with each of you when more information is available.

The two exceptions are

• The cohort section of EDUC-1094 Course Development
• The online section of EDUC-1093 Organizing Technical Educational Facilities

These courses will still be offered using entirely online delivery. If you do not wish to take these courses at this time, simply withdraw using this form: https://www.rrc.ca/supports/student-records/withdrawal-part-time/

Please see our Frequently Asked Question below. If you have further questions or concerns, please contact Daryl McRae, Part-time Technical Vocational Program Coordinator at dmcrae@rrc.ca.
