How To Access And Start Your Online Or Hybrid Course

Complaint Process

Hybrid Courses

Hybrid courses have a reduced amount of classroom time, where teaching and learning occurs both in the classroom as well as online. Classroom attendance and online participation is mandatory. Examples of hybrid courses may be an evening course that meets for three hours a week on a Monday night every other week or a course that meets one hour a week in the classroom and the remaining two hours of that week are conducted online.

Succeeding in Online & Hybrid Courses

Successful online/hybrid learning students are typically self-motivated, active participants who are able to manage their study environments closely. Students need to remember that all online and hybrid learning courses have due dates for assignments, discussions, quizzes and exams, so you must adjust your study habits and preparation time to meet these deadlines.
