Face to Face, Hybrid, or Online Classes
All currently scheduled online courses will remain online for the entire semester.
Keep in mind schedule formats may continue to change. As we get closer to the term, your department or instructor may contact you with further details about how your classes will be offered.
CSU will offer courses as face-to-face, hybrid, and online. Below is an explanation of each of these modalities as well as sample schedules with explanations.
More information can be found on CSU’s COVID recovery page.
Face-to-face Sections
All class interactions will be fully in person, where capacity does not exceed physical social distancing guidelines or when portions of a class can be rotated into the classroom on alternate days to maintain those guidelines.
Hybrid Sections
These courses show both a physical classroom and online component in the class schedule; they incorporate a mix of online and in-person elements. The in-person experiences will adhere to social distancing protocols and other health and safety regulations. A possible example would be as follows: faculty rotate portions of class through in-person experiences, assuring social distancing, as well as including remote learning components.
Online/Distance Sections
All class interactions will be fully digital. Class times will remain scheduled to allow for student and faculty real-time engagement (synchronous) and will offer asynchronous elements.
Special Sections
Special sections are often internships, practicum, independent study classes, etc. Scheduling is unique and will be determined by the professor and the students in the class. Connect with the listed professor for more information.
