Online Courses
Online courses hold no face-to-face meetings during a course term, including no face-to-face orientation meetings. An online course is managed totally with online communications, learning management systems such as WebCT, and other distance-learning tools. The course requires interactive dialogue and all assignments are submitted electronically. Course exams and quizzes are administered via WebCT or through an arranged proctored exam based on individual course requirements.

Hybrid Courses
A hybrid course integrates a mix of online instructional strategies and technologies with a limited number of face-to-face meetings.

Online and hybrid courses will begin and end on the same dates as traditional cources.
Any other courses meeting in a traditional face-to-face setting with a mix of online technologies, such as WebCT, would be considered a course supplemented with technology.
