Definitions
Approved by FCAA (November 21, 2013)
Online Courses are those courses in which all instruction is fully online. Students must be able to complete all requirements for an online course, including tests and course evaluations, without coming to an NEIU location.
Hybrid Courses (also called blended courses) combine face-to-face sessions and online instruction in a pre-announced, regular, repeating pattern. Hybrid courses replace various percentages of the face-to-face sessions with online instruction (a 50-50 split enhances scheduling and room-sharing options.) Face-to-face meeting times must be published in the course Notes section of the schedule.
Note: Face-to-face courses that provide supplemental online elements, but which do not replace course meetings with online instruction, are not hybrid courses.
