Thank You
The health and safety of GPRC students, staff, faculty, and the communities it serves is always GPRC’s top priority, but especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. The College has closed its buildings on both the Fairview and Grande Prairie campuses and has made significant changes to meet the learning and employment needs of students and staff. We would like to thank our students, our leadership, our staff, our faculty and the GPRC community for their commitment to the College, and for their understanding and support. Find the latest COVID-19 updates on our website.

Online Class Delivery at GPRC
The biggest change for GPRC students has been the transition from in-class instruction to online course delivery. Students are showing incredible resiliency and academic abilities in dealing with this change. The transition happened very quickly and seamlessly, with instructors teaching from home and keeping virtual office hours to support student needs. Support services such as the library, academic success centre and mental health services have moved online as well. For a list of online resources for students, visit our website.
