Palo Alto College

Registration now open for remote learning

Palo Alto College is now enrolling students for the Fall 2020 session.

Out of an abundance of caution, Palo Alto College and the entire Alamo Colleges District have made some temporary changes to the way we provide instruction and operate in light of the evolving concerns related to the coronavirus. With safety as our top priority, we are implementing a slow and careful return to campus for Fall 2020.

What is remote learning?

Remote learning occurs when the learner and instructor cannot meet in a traditional classroom setting. Although it takes place online, remote learning is different from online learning. Remote learning strives to re-create the classroom environment as the student learns through the computer. This means the student logs in to the virtual classroom environment at scheduled times to view lectures or participate in group learning activities.
