As a WGU student, you will have access to two kinds of online student communities:
learning communities and program communities. Each of these communities provides
you with a different level of support and gives you the opportunity to interact
with mentors and other students.
Program Communities
Program communities are focused on building relationships between students and mentors.
You can connect with fellow students and mentors on all things about your degree
program. Primarily, program communities focus on:
Expanding your knowledge in your overall field of study
You will be assigned and automatically enrolled into learning communities that correspond
with the assessments for your term. These communities provide a virtual space in
which subject-specific information can be obtained to develop competency.
The learning communities focus on:
Development of competence
Small group learning sessions that support cooperative learning
