The course does not require students to travel to a classroom for instruction; however, it might require students to travel to a site to attend a course orientation or to take exams. (NOTE: This is generally equivalent to delivering more than 95 percent of sessions via technology.)
P = Predominantly at a distance Technology is used to deliver 51 percent or more of scheduled class sessions, but at least one visit to a classroom (or similar site) for instruction is required.
H = Hybrid Technology is used to deliver 50 percent or less of scheduled class sessions, but at least one class session is replaced by technology.

Class Schedule Builder

The Class Schedule Builder is an online registration tool that integrates with the Student Information System. It allows you to select your preferred classes and block off time for work, practice, student organizations, and other personal commitments.
