Delivery Methods

For the 2021/2022 academic year, NIC programs and courses will be offered through multiple delivery methods. The type of delivery is determined by how best to ensure you gain the knowledge, skills and experience you need for your program.

View the delivery methods for programs starting in Fall 2021 and Winter 2022.

Delivery Methods

You can find information on delivery methods in two ways: by program and by course.

You can find information on program delivery on each program page. If you are registering in individual courses, you'll find the delivery method as part of the course code. Ex: BUS 100 DLU1B.
