Academics
What are the Spring 2021 class formats?
Online Anytime is a traditional online course, providing a convenient, flexible, and student-centered way of learning. Students log in and complete their course assignments day or night, without coming to campus.Online Scheduled is an online class at a scheduled time. Students log in to their class at the scheduled times and participate in live, video-supported classes with their instructor and classmates. This online course format is the most comparable to the face-to-face, on-campus experience.
Hybrid courses will include online lectures and on-campus attendance to complete labs or hands-on experiences. For fall, this will be reserved for courses requiring face-to-face instruction for hands-on learning. The on-campus experience will include social distancing, specific entry and exit points, and personal protective equipment for students and faculty.
Clinical and Internship experiences will continue at the off-campus locations as long as the hosting partner is able.
