Course Section Definitions

Class Section Letter Codes

When viewing a course in the schedule of classes, you will see a letter at the end of the class course section number IF that class is NOT being taught FULLY in person on campus.

Here is an example for course number ACTG 1A with the range of possible class section descriptive letter code(s):

ACTG-001A-01R or (T, W, Y, V, Z)

See the Letter Code Definitions below for a description of how that class will be taught.

Asynchronous vs. Synchronous Delivery

Also note that a class section may be defined as Asynchronous or Synchronous.

Asynchronous

Instruction or a student service is conducted between faculty/support staff and students outside the constraints of time and place
Students are allowed to choose the time of day or days on which to complete class assignments or engage with support services within a course or service schedule.

Synchronous

Instruction or a student service is conducted between the faculty/support staff and students in real-time, with participants engaging in learning and communication at the same time, according to a set schedule.
