• Online - All online. Instructor method code = ON
• Hybrid - Mix of online and traditional. Instructor method code = OH
• Non-traditional - Typically for courses that are internships, student teaching, practicums, etc. that meet but are not scheduled in banner or are coded as OFF-Campus. Instructor method code = NT
• Regular Course-Independently - For independent studies. Modality flexible between student and instructor. Instructor method code = RI
• Workshop - Any short-term learning experience-typically in-person. EI:SAVE & DASA courses. Whether hands on or lecture.

Synchronous: Direct instruction occurs in real time. There are scheduled meeting days and times that follow AU's approved schedule grid whether in person or online.

Asynchronous: No direct instruction; no schedule meeting days or times.

Schedule Grid: All faculty must follow the schedule grid unless the Dean has requested an exemption for an instructor.
