Class Modality Types

How will my course(s) be taught?

Stockton offers in-person classes on campus, hybrid classes that combine in-person and online lessons, and online classes which meet entirely online. Consider the course modality type(s) that best meets your individual learning needs as you organize your plans and register for the upcoming semester.

• In-Person Course  - The course is delivered in-person at a university endorsed location.

• Online Synchronous - The course is held online with the students and the instructor meeting together online during specific days and times.

• Online Asynchronous  - The course is fully online with no required meeting times. Students will benefit from regular interaction and feedback with the course instructor. 

• Hybrid Course  - This course combines regular in-person sessions with online instruction. Students engage in some parts of the course in-person on a structured scheduled and in other parts of the course through regular online participation.

• Independent Study  - An independent study represents an opportunity for an individual student to pursue questions not addressed in faculty-directed classrooms, laboratories, or studios promoting research skills and mastery of principles, methods and materials. An independent study is arranged with a faculty and is documented on an Independent Study form.

• Internship - An internship is a professional learning experience that provides practical learning experience (paid or unpaid) related to a student's field of study or career interest. An internship is arranged with a student's academic program, takes place at a university endorsed location, and documented on the necessary paperwork.
• Clinical/Fieldwork - Clinical or fieldwork experiences take place in-person at a university endorsed location.
