Online Courses: These courses enable students to earn course credit through Internet connections. Students must have access to a computer with an Internet connection and relevant computer peripherals. A majority of online course work occurs in a virtual environment that is accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Most online courses are 100% online. However, some courses require periodic face-to-face sessions.

Hybrid: These courses combine in-person and online delivery. Hybrid courses (also known as blended courses) replace a portion of traditional face-to-face instruction with web-based online learning (e.g., video lectures, online discussions, or activities). The purpose of a hybrid course is to take advantage of the best features of both face-to-face and online learning. Student participation in all modalities of instruction contact is required.

Virtual Classroom: Virtual Classroom (VC) courses, also known as Live-Online courses, meet online at scheduled times. Virtual Classroom courses are for students who prefer to interact with faculty and other students, offering set class time and structure, without the need to come to campus.
