This is a ***HY-FLEX*** class that allows students the flexibility to decide, from one class meeting to the next, whether they want to attend in-person, synchronously online (live-streaming), or asynchronously online (watching recorded lectures at a time that is convenient for them). Students are encouraged to register for their preferred course delivery mode (in-person, synchronous, or asynchronous), but can move freely between these modalities *without* having to swap their enrollment into a different class section. Some courses require proctored testing. Students can visit https://vpcc.edu/distance/students for information and resources for online students.
This is an ***Asynchronous*** online section. Online courses are 100% online requiring students to have reliable access to a computer and internet service. This class has no scheduled meeting times. Due dates can be found in the syllabus. Students must login to Canvas regularly to check for course announcements, complete assignments, check grades and feedback, and participate in any other course activities required by the instructor. Students must have regular access to a computer and the Internet to successfully complete this course. Some courses require proctored testing.
