Policy 325: E-Learning (Including Online Learning and Hybrid Courses)

Operational Policy
Policy Number: 325
Adopted: April 2019

Grays Harbor College recognizes that E-Learning, including fully online courses and hybrid courses, is an important component of its stated Vision, Mission and Values.  Online and hybrid courses provide access to educational offerings that would otherwise be inhibited by students’ inability to attend classes meeting only at a fixed time and location.

The Vice President for Instruction, and her/his designees, shall develop operating procedures and practices which ensure:

  • online and hybrid courses meet standards and expectations of accrediting agencies, Federal and State laws, regulations and rules,
  • effective student and academic services are available to support students enrolled in online and hybrid learning offerings,
  • online and hybrid learning is incorporated into GHC’s systems of governance and academic oversight.

Policy Review History

Reviewed: N/A
Revised: N/A

Review and Revision refers to the College’s cyclical process for evaluating and updating all institutional policies and procedures. At minimum, each policy or procedure will undergo review once every five years to ensure accuracy, relevance, and alignment with current practices and regulatory requirements. If the scheduled review results in no changes, the date of that review will be recorded in the Reviewed field. If updates or edits are made, the date will be recorded in the Revised field. This process maintains transparency regarding the history of each policy or procedure and ensures the College remains responsive to evolving needs and standards.
