How will courses be taught in the Spring?

There will be a variety of both in-person and virtual courses so you can build the schedule that fits your needs. Please review the definitions below so you understand the instructional method being used in each of your courses.

In-Person Courses

  • In-person courses will be designated with a building and room number. Some in-person courses may rotate attendance in the classroom; your instructor will describe the details of this type of attendance.

Remote and Online Courses

  • Remote and online courses are either Synchronous or Asynchronous. These designations are noted in Self Service in the Meeting Times column on each course record. Please note that the columns in the course record can be expanded by hovering your mouse over the column separator and pulling the column wider to fully expose all the text.
    • Synchronous means that there are routine course meeting times where class activities are conducted through a virtual platform. In Self Service, courses labeled Remote Learning, Online-Zoom, and Online-Collaborate are generally synchronous courses. Look for calendar days and times – – these are indicators that the course has designated, routine meeting times.

    • Asynchronous means that there is no standard, routine course meeting times. In Self Service, courses labeled Online-D2L Brightspace are generally asynchronous. If no calendar days and times are indicated, then the course is asynchronous.

Screenshot of meeting times with full semester dates underlined

  • Full semester courses have a start date of 1/21/2025 and end date of 5/12/2025
  • Later Start courses have a start date of 2/10/2025 and end date of 5/12/2025
