Time Options

Synchronous
Course activity is organized around scheduled class meetings, and students and faculty interact with one another simultaneously in real-time. Synchronous courses can be in-person, video or web conference, or online. For in-person courses, synchronous meetings are listed under Days & Times. For online courses, synchronous meetings are most generally listed under Class Notes.

Asynchronous
Course activity is not organized around scheduled class times, and students and faculty do not interact with one another simultaneously in real-time. Asynchronous courses can be partially or entirely self-paced and are typically held online.

Hybrid
A mix of asynchronous and synchronous interactions.

Mode of Instruction

Online (WW)
A course section where 100% of course activity and class meetings are completed asynchronously (i.e., not in real-time) online with no required online meeting times.

Distance Synchronous Learning (DS)
These classes never meet in person. The course is taught online, and the instructor is expected to deliver instruction synchronously (i.e., in real-time) when the class is scheduled.

Hybrid/Blended (HB)
These classes have both in-person and online components. The dates/times of in-person meetings are scheduled.

Hyflex (HF)
A single course section with the option to attend on-site, attend via video or audio technology during class meeting times, or watch a recording of the course asynchronously (i.e., not in real-time) via recorded class sessions or in any combination of the three.

Split Delivery (SD)
These classes will meet during all scheduled class times. However, groups of students in the class will alternate in-person and virtual attendance as designated by the instructor to maintain reduced classroom density (i.e., platoon system).

By Arrangement (AR)
These courses are meant for clinical placements, field placements, independent study, internships, and research hours. They do not require a classroom or meeting time but are considered to be in person, with location and time arranged by the instructor or supervisor.

Service Learning (SL)
Instruction time and locations are to be determined by the instructor.

In-Person (P)
The course is taught fully face-to-face in a classroom at scheduled meeting times.

Traditional Classroom Program
The majority of courses in the program are in-person courses. However, the program may also include some online or blended courses.

Blended Program
The program has a mix of in-person, online, and blended courses with online courses comprising 50% or more of the total required courses/credits. Examples of blended programs are those with a low-residency requirement.

Online Program
All courses in the program are online courses. Students can complete the program remotely using a laptop or desktop computer with no required in-person meetings. Online courses in the program can be either synchronous or asynchronous.
