The Role of Learner-Contracted Community Resources

European-American University's programs are founded on the belief that its learners can fulfil their educational needs and complete their degree programs successfully without leaving the geographical area where they live.

Rather than uprooting themselves, or necessarily basing their program on a self-contained campus, students look to their communities to find the educational resources they need, continuing to contribute to their common life and offering enhancement and validation of the learning experiences of the locality. A few of the resources that may be available include: libraries, training institutions, adult education programs, people who teach at other universities and colleges, and professional people in the fields of industry, social care, psychology and the arts.

In a number of programs, professionals from within the student's own community or organization are actively involved in the recording and organization of assessment opportunities. Beyond this, there is often scope for such people to be informally or formally contracted as additional mentors.

Your mentors will help you identify and make the best use of resources from within your community.
