About Thompson Rivers University, Open Learning (TRU-OL)


TRU-OL is a Canadian distance education provider, operating as the Open Learning Division of TRU. The Open Learning division offers courses and programs through online and distance learning. Currently over 400 courses and 57 programs are available for enrollment. Program credentials include: adult secondary school completion; certificates and diplomas, including advanced and post-baccalaureate; associate degrees; and bachelor's degrees.

Most of the Open Learning Division's distance courses are offered continually throughout the year and are non-paced, which means students work through coursework on their own at their own pace. Approximately 220 courses are designed and delivered by TRU-OL, while another 200 courses are available for registration through consortium institutions including Simon Fraser University (SFU) and the University of Victoria (UVic).

Open learning is an independent approach to education offering students flexibility and choice regarding how, when and where they learn. Program and course admission have few geographical restrictions and most programs have low residency requirements. In addition, open learning acknowledges students prior work experience, past education and training through credit transfer, educational laddering and prior learning assessment and recognition.

Prior learning assessment and recognition (PLAR) can award credit for knowledge achieved through work and life experience.

Students who complete a TRU certificate, diploma or degree program through Open Learning will receive a TRU credential that is fully recognized by the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada (AUCC), of which TRU is a member. The Open Learning division of TRU, which helped found the Canadian Virtual University, operates in collaboration with other educational institutions as well as professional, industry and business associations.
