Course Delivery Terminology

Course Delivery Terminology | Office of the Registrar

For courses with both in-person and synchronous online section codes, students must stay in the same delivery format they registered for throughout the semester.

In-Person (INPR)

Traditional face-to-face classroom instruction. Attendance at a specific time and location for all course activities is required.

Synchronous Online (SYNO)

Professors and students engage the course content together at the same time but from different locations. Online attendance at a specific time for all course activities is required. Some courses also consist of pre-recorded lectures and materials.

Asynchronous Online (ASYO)

Professors and students engage the course content at different times and from different locations. Attendance at a specific time or location is not required.

Blended (BLEN)

A mixture of delivery formats blending in-person and online (synchronous and/or asynchronous) instructions.  More than one-third of the course will be either in-person or online, to be determined by the professor before the start of the course.  Students will need to follow the scheduled delivery format for each class.
