General Information on in-person vs. online classes

Mixed Hybrid courses (coded HY as the instructional method on the schedule) are a combination of both online sessions (synchronous and/or asynchronous) and face-to-face meetings in a physical space.  An assigned time and classroom on the schedule of classes are required.   Some HY courses may meet the face to face requirement if they require all students to have face-to-face meetings regularly.  Please check with an OIP advisor if you have questions if a HY course is considered as an online/distance learning course or not (in relation to your immigration status).
