Online Courses
In an online course, 100% of course instruction is delivered using an online learning management system platform. There is no time spent in a physical classroom. However, students enrolled in online classes will be expected to participate in the class academically. Attendance for this method of instruction is defined as submitting academic assignments, taking exams, participating in online discussions about academic matters, or initiating contact with a faculty member to ask a question about the academic subject studied in the course. Simply logging into an online class without active participation does not constitute academic attendance.
In some cases, students may meet for an introductory and/or summary meeting; however, these meetings are not mandatory.
