The Loyalist College community is working hard to transition some face-to-face courses to remote delivery. We want to assure you that your faculty members and college support teams are here to help you figure out remote learning. This kit will provide you with remote learning advice, along with resources and information available to you as a Loyalist College student.
Your professors are your primary contact for information about your courses and how remote learning will happen. In order to be most successful in your studies, you must have access to a modern desktop or laptop computer and reliable access to Internet.
The most up to date information about Loyalist College’s messaging and policies can be found on our COVID-19 Communication page. Your professors will contact you with important course information as you go along.

Email is the official record of communication between you and your faculty members. Upon registration, you are given a Loyalist College email account which is your responsibility to manage. The account holds a finite amount of mail space (50GB) so it is critical that you maintain your mailbox daily. Do not allow your mailbox to fill or you will lose valuable communication. There is an archive folder that can allow you to store older messages on non-college drives such as a USB portable drive.
