Note:

This is an ***ASYNCHRONOUS*** online section. Students must login to Canvas regularly to check for course announcements, complete assignments, check grades and feedback, and participate in any other course activities required by the instructor. There are NO required online class meetings. Instructors will post recordings on any live sessions conducted as part of the course. Students must have regular access to a computer and the Internet to successfully complete this course. Some courses require proctored testing. Students can visit https://vpcc.edu/distance/students for information and resources for online students.

This is a ***HY-FLEX*** class that allows students the flexibility to decide, from one class meeting to the next, whether they want to attend in-person, synchronously online (live-streaming), or asynchronously online (watching recorded lectures at a time that is convenient for them). Students are encouraged to register for their preferred course delivery mode (in-person, synchronous, or asynchronous), but can move freely between these modalities *without* having to swap their enrollment into a different class section. Some courses require proctored testing. Students can visit https://vpcc.edu/distance/students for information and resources for online students.
