IMPORTANT INFORMATION (as of 2/9/21)
Summer Registration is Open!
As you and your families make difficult decisions regarding the upcoming Summer semester, we are excited to tell you about options that will provide you with flexibility while adhering to CDC guidelines to ensure your health. All courses for the Summer 2021 semesters will be offered in one of the following formats:
Remote Instruction (REM) – Remote courses were designed to be taught in a classroom but are being offered as a form of distance education due to the emergency conditions. Remote classes are completely online but include scheduled virtual meeting times to occur when the class is listed to meet.
Online Instruction (ONL) – Online courses were designed to be taught in an online setting. Unless otherwise noted, online courses were developed to be taught without specific meeting times or on campus requirements.
Hybrid Instruction (HYB) – Hybrid courses are a combination of the traditional face-to-face instruction and remote/online sessions (in any combination). This may include some on-campus labs with remote lecture, reduced in-classroom time, or other instructional designs that meet the needs of the course materials. Students in Hybrid courses should log in on the first day of the term.
Virtual Campus (VIR) – Fully online courses, certificates, or programs designed to provide students quality distance education consistent with the Virtual Campus’ mission statement. There is no on campus requirement.
The college will note all courses with one of the options above. Regardless of your chosen option, you will need access to a computer and a steady internet connection.
Please note any required virtual meetings, in addition to any required lab kits or specific course needs.
