Gateway Certificate Courses
We are currently pooling applicants to become independently contracted instructors for Gateway Courses offered as part of the BYU-Pathway program. These courses are typically taken together with PCI 103 as students plan their certificates and degrees. So what does it mean when we say we are pooling applicants? Being in OSI’s contractor pool means you are eligible to be contracted as needs arise. The number of instructors we contract with each semester is dependent on many variables, such as student demand, instructor performance, and changes to course offerings. Prior to the beginning of each semester, we receive the final number of sections that we need to cover for that semester. We then go through an internal process to match sections to contractors from our contractor pool.
