Those from the Reading, Wyomissing, Saint Lawrence and Lebanon areas who attend Berks Technical Institute may have the opportunity to take some courses in their program of study in an online format. Berks Technical Institute has engaged in a third-party distance education consortium agreement with Miller-Motte College, Wilmington, NC, the “host” institution. This agreement enables students enrolled in an eligible program of study to register for online courses that apply toward the academic requirements of their program.
All online courses offered by the host institution through this consortium agreement have been deemed as equivalent in content and quality to same courses offered by Berks Technical Institute. Ground students who take online courses offered by the host institution, through the distance education consortium, as a result of the consortium agreement, are limited to taking no more than 49 percent of their program of study in the distance learning format. Students who take an online course are required to complete an online orientation program to assure readiness to navigate the learning management system and to engage in distance learning activities.
Every effort is made to provide students with flexibility in class schedules and instructional formats; however, courses that are offered on ground as well as those that are offered online are subject to change without notice. Students may be required to take a course in either format in order to complete their program of study by their on-time scheduled graduation date.
