What to Look For in the Class Schedule
As you review classes in the schedule, pay attention to a few key details that can affect how and when you take the class.
Class Format
Check how the class is offered. Some classes are fully online, while others may include live online meetings, in-person requirements, or flexible attendance options.
- Fully Online: Asynchronous — no set class meeting times
- Fully Online: Synchronous — class meets online at scheduled times
- Fully Online: Blend of Synchronous and Asynchronous — still always online, but a mix of synchronous and asynchronous
- Partially Online — some work is online, with some in-person requirements
- HyFlex — attend in person or online
Choose the format that fits your schedule and learning preferences.

Days and Times
Even online classes may have required meeting times.
Some classes let you complete work on your own schedule, while others meet on specific days and times. Check the class listing carefully so you know whether you need to be available at set times each week. Meeting times may be listed as days of the week, or be listed as specific dates in the class notes.
Start and End Dates
Not all classes begin and end on the same dates.
Some classes follow the full term, while others may start later or end sooner. Always check the dates before enrolling so you know how the class fits into your schedule.
Class Notes and Requirements
