Programs 

All programs have been approved by the CT Board of Regents to be offered in one or more specific modalities and these approvals dictate how programs must be delivered:

• In-person: Fewer than 50% of courses may be offered online.
• Hybrid: More than 50% of courses may be offered online.
• Online: 100% of courses must be offered online (excluding clinical requirements for licensed programs). 

Courses 

The following course modalities will be in effect as of the Summer 2025 semester:

• In-Person: All instruction occurs on predefined days/times and in a specified physical location.
• Hybrid: A minimum of 50% of instruction occurs on predefined days/times and in a specified physical location. This portion of the course will meet in person. The remainder of the instruction is delivered remotely, either synchronously or asynchronously.
• (NEW) Hybrid Limited:  Some instruction, but less than 50%, occurs on predefined days/times and in a specified physical location. This portion of the course will meet in person. The remainder of the instruction is delivered remotely, either synchronously or asynchronously.
• Online Synchronous: All instruction occurs remotely on predefined meeting days/times.
• Online Asynchronous: All instruction occurs asynchronously online and there are no predefined meeting days/times.
• (NEW) Online Blended: All instruction occurs online but requires a mix of remote synchronous (predefined days/times) and asynchronous online learning.

Note: Individualized course types (independent studies, directed research, etc.) will continue to use the "In-Person (IP)" instructional mode unless otherwise specified. Instruction for these courses will be delivered at times and locations agreed upon by the instructor and students.
