Online Courses

In an online course, all instruction is delivered using an online learning management system, with no time spent in a physical classroom. However, students enrolled in online classes are expected to participate in the class academically. Attendance for this method of instruction is defined as submitting academic assignments, taking exams, and participating in online discussions about academic matters, or initiating contact with faculty members to ask questions about the academic content of the course. Simply logging into an online class without active participation does not constitute academic attendance.

Note that some online courses may meet for an introductory and/or summary meeting; however, these meetings are not mandatory.
