Online Course Limit Policy

Students in on-campus programs should consult with financial aid to determine if there are any limitations on the number of online classes completed each semester.

Definitions:

Online Asynchronous: online instruction delivered without any face-to-face meeting requirement. Student learning is on a student's own schedule, within a certain time frame. There is no set meeting time.

Online Synchronous: online instruction delivered virtually, with scheduled meeting times via an online platform. Students must attend the online class at the scheduled meeting time.

Online Hybrid: A blended class with some face-to-face component, but 51% or more of the instruction is delivered asynchronously online. (Considered “online” for financial aid purposes.) For hybrid classes, the course details must contain the percentage of in-classroom hours and the percent of online hours so that the expectations are clear to the student.

On-Campus: On-campus, face-to-face classes (which may use Canvas) or blended classes where 50% or more of the course is delivered face-to-face, and 50% or less is delivered online.
