*Online Courses will run using synchronous or asynchronous remote instruction formats.
- Courses run using synchronous remote instruction will have scheduled meeting days and times. Students are expected to connect remotely during those times. These classes typically involve web conferencing.
- Courses run using asynchronous remote instruction will have no scheduled class sessions. These courses will have a regular schedule of work and assignments due throughout each week but will not require students to be online at a particular time. Rather, the instructor will provide materials—for example, readings, video content, presentations, lectures, assignments, and exams. Students will access these materials and satisfy the course requirements within the time frames specified by the instructor.
