Remote learning can be essential for many students enrolled at SFSU. Remote learning allows students to take classes they could otherwise not make it to because of the commute/timing. Many students have full-time jobs, families and other responsibilities that take up most of their time. Online learning opens the door to students who strive to get an education despite these life challenges.
