Instruction Mode

The Instruction Mode refers to how the class is delivered; sometimes referred to as modality or class format. This is not the same as course type or component. All courses may be offered in any of the instruction modalities. Academic programs may utilize a variety of instructional modalities or offer all classes in the same modality (i.e., online programs and classes). Based on the selected instruction mode, each class section will have its own unique meeting pattern reflected in the Schedule of Classes.
