Hybrid Learning
Presidio understands that sometimes life commitments get in the way of attending each Residency in person. We encourage students to travel in person as much as possible and provide an excellent opportunity for virtual learning to those who must travel virtually. All classrooms in San Anselmo have been updated with state-of-the-art cameras and sound equipment to facilitate effective online and in-person learning.
Please note that students participating in our Veterans Affairs program or those who reside outside our list of authorized states may be required to attend each Residency in person. For questions on your situation, please email registrar@presidio.edu.
