As mentioned in the section above, you’ll be able to choose from three class formats: fully in-person, certified hybrid, or fully online. Each of the three ways to take classes has different expectations and requirements of students.
The term was scheduled with physical distancing restrictions removed and pre COVID-19 classroom capacities restored.
Because of the fluid nature of the pandemic, we will remain flexible and agile. If the situation requires a return to physical distancing, adjustments can be made following recommendations from university leadership. We will prioritize on-campus opportunities for First Year students while reducing the overall student density.
In-person classes will take place on campus at set times. In-person classes may use Canvas.
Hybrid classes have both in-person, classroom sessions on campus and out-of-classroom learning experiences. Hybrid classes will have a set schedule for the days and times the in-person classes meet. The breakdown is about a third to two-thirds of the in-person classroom sessions, and the rest of the out-of-classroom experiences may be completed through Canvas, other online resources, or with experiential learning at off-campus sites.
Online classes are taught using Canvas and are completely off campus. These classes offer students the flexibility of having a course designed to be available on-demand for those who have commitments or lifestyles that make it hard to meet at scheduled times. Learners still must complete assignments by deadlines or due dates within the fixed course timeframe. Please note that there is a distance learning fee associated with fully online classes.
