Classes meeting face-to-face will have a physical building and room number listed in the published schedule of classes. All others will meet remotely.

Not all classes that we offer remotely have fixed meeting times. If a time is listed, then students and faculty will be with each other online at the same time (called “synchronous”). If no time or day is listed then students participate on their own schedule, interacting with each other with the faculty, and preparing assignments and getting feedback.

You may be able to find virtual classes to replace those meeting face-to-face, either because it’s an online section of the same course, or because it’s a different course, offered online, that meets the same degree requirement. However, it’s in your interest to come to campus if that’s how your classes are offered. Most of our courses and instruction are optimized for face-to-face instruction. For these courses you’ll find the subjects make more sense, and that it’s easier for you to remember what you’ve learned and apply it in other settings, when you take your classes the way they were designed.

In the case of COVID-19 or any other medical emergency that keeps you away for some of the semester, we will work with you to minimize the impacts to your learning, your grades, and your progress to graduation. If you have to quarantine, then make sure you immediately notify your instructors and the Office of the Registrar.
