When discussing modes of delivery, it is helpful to understand the University's Credit Hour Policy. For each credit earned, students are required to complete 42 hours of academic work over the course of the term.

For in-person (P/PR) and online synchronous (OS) classes during a 14-week semester, each credit equates to 3 hours of work per week apportioned as:

• 1 hour of classroom/synchronous instruction and
• 2 hours of out-of-class/asynchronous work.

Faculty teaching mixed mode (HB/HL) and online courses (OA/OB) that do not meet in-person/synchronously for the minimum time should plan to replace the time with out-of-class/asynchronous activities that include student-to-student, student-to-instructor, and student-to-content interaction. Refer to Credit Hours and Workload for more information on the total hours of work required per credit and how this work is distributed (per week) across various session lengths.
