Specific information regarding how and where your program will be delivered is available on the Student Portal under the My Courses tab, where you will find if your program is fully in-person, fully online, or a mix of in-person and online courses. Programs are designed to provide you with the highest quality of learning. Your timetable will identify one of the different program delivery approaches:

• On campus: You will be required to attend in-person classes at your assigned campus. All class hours will be delivered in person.

A hybrid program is a combination of on-campus courses and online courses. If you are in a hybrid program, you will be required to attend in-person classes at your assigned campus and these classes will not be recorded. Most class hours will be delivered in person; a few hours will be delivered online.        

This will depend on your program. Your spring 2023 timetable will indicate if your program requires you to attend in-person/on-campus learning, including labs, shops or classes. Student timetables will be available on the Student Portal in early April.
