How do I know if my class is online or on campus?

Class location, whether online or on campus, can be found on your schedule. Classes with an indication under “Room#” of online or remote mean the course is offered online and you do not have to come to campus for it. Classes with an indication under “Room#” that say MAINXXX or SenecaXXX or TTIXXX mean they are in-person and at one of the campuses indicated. This means you do have to come in-person to class.

My class is remote/online but has a time listed, what does that mean?

Remote/online classes with a specific day and start and end time mean you do have to login in and be present for the specified time, i.e. 8am-9am = logon at 8am for online/remote class. These are sometimes called “synchronous”.

Remote/online classes without a specific day and start and end time mean you will be assigned work on a weekly basis with deadlines where applicable but you do not have to ‘attend virtually’ on a specific day/time. These are sometimes called “asynchronous”
