Course Modalities

The following instruction modes will be in effect as of the Fall 2023 semester. Faculty with questions about the unique teaching considerations for any of these modes should visit the Teaching and Course Modalities page on the CETL website.

  • In-Person (P): All instruction occurs on specified days/times and in a specified physical location.*
  • (NEW) In-Person Remote (PR): All instruction occurs on specified days/times and at a specified physical location. Remote students will participate synchronously from another UConn campus or remote location as specified by the faculty member.
  • Hybrid (HB): A minimum of 50% of instruction occurs on specified days/times and in a specified physical location. This portion of the course will meet in person. The remainder of instruction is delivered remotely, either synchronously or asynchronously.*
  • (NEW) Hybrid Limited (HL): Some instruction, but less than 50%, occurs on specified days/times and in a specified physical location. This portion of the course will meet in person. The remainder of instruction is delivered remotely, either synchronously or asynchronously.
  • (NEW) Online Synchronous (OS): All instruction occurs remotely on specified meeting days/times.
  • (NEW) Online Asynchronous (OA): All instruction occurs asynchronously online and there are no specified meeting days/times.
  • (NEW) Online Blended (OB): All instruction occurs online but requires a mix of remote synchronous (specified days/times) and asynchronous online learning.

'By Arrangement' Courses*

Individualized course types (independent studies, research and thesis courses, etc.) will continue to use the "By Arrangement (AR)" instructional mode, meaning that all instruction is delivered at times and locations determined by mutual agreement between the instructor and the student(s).

* International Students: In-Person (P), Hybrid (HB), and By Arrangement (AR) are all considered in person.
