Dual Modality courses are synchronous courses that on-campus and remote students attend together. When students register for a Dual Modality course they can choose to attend class on-campus or via Zoom for the semester. The instructor teaches from an on-campus classroom.

Students in Dual Modality courses need to decide to attend class on-campus or remotely when they register. The selection they make at registration will reflect their modality for the entire term. For example, if a student registers to attend a Dual Modality class on-campus, they are required to attend on-campus for the whole semester.

Though they share some similarities with flexible hybrid courses, Dual Modality courses are most aptly categorized as “blended synchronous” or “synchronous hybrid” learning.
