Distance Learning
Triton College offers a variety of classes through distance learning. This delivery method allows the student to complete online courses with limited or no required on-campus visits. An online course provides the same course content as a face-to-face classroom course. Triton College offers many online General Education courses and Career and Technical Education courses designed to provide flexibility for students to complete programs of study.
State Authorization and Online Student Complaint Resolution
Triton College participates in the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA). This arrangement authorizes the State of Illinois to take part in a system of interstate reciprocity that establishes national standards on distance education. States that are part of the SARA agreement can be accessed at www.nc-sara.org/sara-states-institutions.
In order to resolve concerns related to a complaint, out-of-state students enrolled in online classes at Triton College should attempt to resolve any issues or complaints with college faculty and administration first. Information about Student Complaint Procedures can be found in the Triton College Student Handbook. https://issuu.com/tritoncollege/docs/book4112012. In addition, if you have a complaint that you feel has not been resolved through the Triton College Student Complaint Procedure you may file a complaint with the state in which you reside. Triton provides a list of State Agencies with contact information for each state at www.triton.edu/uploadedFiles/Content/Academics/Online_Learning_/Out_of_State_Student_Grievance_Contact_Information_January.2016.pdf.
