Spring 2021 Course Offerings & Mode of Instruction

All Spring 2021 classes will be held virtually for the first two weeks of the semester, following which face-to-face classes will begin meeting in person. Spring Recess will be held as usual, however, with all classes returning as solely virtual for the two weeks immediately following Spring Recess. After this two-week period after Spring Recess, in-person classes will start meeting again through the remainder of the semester. The only A&S programs with exceptions to meeting virtually during these periods are Nursing and Health Science internships.
A face to face course is a course that meets on the CI campus and/or a clinical or field setting. Class meeting times and location are noted on the class schedule.
A virtual synchronous course is a course where students will be required to attend class at a specified time, albeit virtually (for example, through zoom). Class meeting times are noted on the class schedule.
A virtual asynchronous course is a course where students will NOT be required to attend class at a specified time.
A virtual hybrid (synchronous and asynchronous) course is a fully-online course where there are times when the class will be required to meet at a specific day and time, for example for testing. The schedule of classes will indicate which specific days and times the student will need to be present in class.
