University Courses & Program Modality Definitions
Courses
On-campus (in-person) course: classes consist of synchronous instruction occurring with the learner(s) and the instructor(s) in the same location at a university site. At TU, up to 10% of the instruction in an on-campus (in-person) course may be conducted online.
Online (distance education) course: all instruction must occur synchronously or asynchronously online. At TU, 100% of the instruction in an online (distance education) course must occur online. However, on-campus meetings/activities are permitted for orientation, testing or academic support services.
Hybrid course*: instruction occurs both on-campus and online to the same group of learners. At TU, 10-90% of the instruction in a hybrid course must occur online.
Programs**
Distance education program: comprised of 100% online (distance education) courses. Requirements for in-person orientation, testing or academic support are permitted in distance education programs.
On-campus program: a program that is not a distance education program.
Both: a program that is offered in both distance education modality and on-campus modality
*Any course with less than 10% online instruction is considered an on-campus (in-person) course. Any course with more than 90% online instruction is not considered to be a hybrid course; it is also not considered to be an online (distance education) course as 100% of instruction in online (distance education) courses must occur online.
