    Credit Course Options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    Traditional 100% On-Campus Credit Course<\/summary>
    \n

    Traditional courses include set meeting times held live on a physical campus. Traditional courses require students to attend and actively participate in on-campus class sessions for the duration of the semester.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Hybrid Credit Course (HYB)<\/summary>
    \n

    A hybrid credit course combines traditional classroom time with a distance learning course format. It is part \u201ctraditional\u201d and part \u201cdistance learning.\u201d Furthermore, the distance learning course format MAY integrate asynchronous (virtual, not real-time) online lecture, synchronous (live virtual) class sessions, OR off-site (e.g., internship or clinical experiences). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It is extremely important for students to review the \u201csection details\u201d and \u201cinstructional methods\u201d to ensure selecting the right option for registration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    Hybrid \u2013 Asynchronous (Online)<\/strong>
    A hybrid asynchronous course meets on-campus for instruction and to complete laboratory exercises and assessments. The lecture portion of the course occurs asynchronously online (not real-time).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For example, if you register for a Biology course such as BIOL-101, your class meeting times will occur in a lab\/classroom on campus for instruction, lab exercises, and summative assessments. The lecture portion of the course occurs asynchronously in an online course via the learning management system. The instructional method is often denoted as \u201cLAB, Online.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    Hybrid \u2013 Synchronous (Live Virtual)<\/strong>
    A hybrid synchronous course meets synchronous remotely during scheduled time via live web conferencing. The class also meets on campus in a classroom, lab, or studio, as indicated.

    For example, if you register for a Computer Networking Technology course such as CNT-210, a portion of your class meeting times will occur in a classroom on campus and via a live virtual session(s), as denoted on the schedule in the course syllabus. That means that you can expect to meet your instructor and classmates during the scheduled days and times, as indicated, on campus or via a synchronous remote lecture through a web-conferencing tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    Hybrid \u2013 Off-Site<\/strong>
    A hybrid off-site course, such as an Accounting Internship (ACCT-206) or Advanced Medical Surgical Nursing (NURS-205) course, includes \u201cLecture\u201d and \u201cOff-site\u201d times for work-related learning. This is managed according to the way in which your instructor and workplace\/off-site setting has been arranged. As such, a TBA or TBD may appear in the section meeting times. This could include both online and in-person experiences depending on the work or clinical setting requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Students are required to attend both on-campus (or off-site, if applicable) and in the online environment, plus participate in academic assignments in either setting.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Online Credit Course (ONL)<\/summary>
    \n

    Schoolcraft College offers Online (ONL) credit courses, which provide scheduling flexibility for students. Students can choose from 7-, 12-, and 15-week schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Online courses provide flexibility to students, comprising no set meeting times on campus or virtually. Nevertheless, students must complete weekly assignments, participate in asynchronous online discussions, and apply time management strategies to ensure successful academic performance. Note, online MATH courses require multiple on-campus proctored exams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
