Instructional Delivery Method Sumner College provides instruction in a blended format for the following programs offered at the Portland campus: Practical Nursing and Bachelor of Science in Nursing, as well as the following programs offered at the Bend Campus: Bachelor of Science in Nursing. ‘Blended’ format includes both classroom and distance education instruction. With a blended delivery method, specific courses are scheduled on-site for in-person learning, and other courses are delivered in an online format through Canvas (learning management system). Each course will be identified as residential or distance learning in this catalog for the above programs. The RN to BSN program is delivered online, with an onsite practicum in its final term. Scheduling of Classes Sumner College schedules all classes problematically and in sequential, back to back, cohort blocks of instruction. This scheduling method allows all students to move through their training in the most expeditious, consistent, and cohesive manner possible. Using this modality, students have a specific program start date and a specific program end date. In this way, students are able to minimize their time in school, reduce overall costs, do career, and life planning. By maximizing their use of time and other scarce resources, students are able to enter the workforce, not only well prepared, but far sooner than through a traditional training delivery program. Academic Year An academic year is three (3) academic quarters. An academic quarter is any quarter that the student attended in any program at the school during which the student attempted any course that is included in their program. This will be counted for purposes of determining the student’s applicable academic year. Academic Calendar Please see page 61 of this catalog. Full Time Student A student must be registered for at least twelve (12) quarter credit units per term to be considered a full time student. Room & Board The college does not provide room and board. The college makes every effort to help students that are interested in relocating find safe and affordable housing. Information about this service can be found in the Student Services Department. Visitors and Family Members Visitors interested in attending the college that are over the age of 18 and would like to sit in on a class need to be approved by the Director of Education prior to sitting in a class. No children under the age of 18 (unless currently enrolled) are allowed in any classroom, skills labs, break room, or library during scheduled class hours.
