| Campus Traditional | Campus Hybrid | Integrated Hybrid | Remote Scheduled | Remote Hybrid | Remote Independent | Multi-Access | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Definition | Traditional 1:1 classroom experienceRegularly scheduled meeting times on campus |
Physical attendance required, but fewer days per week. Reduces seat time up to 49%. USA defines hybrid as a reduction in synchronous class time. |
Physical attendance required, but fewer times per semester. Reduces seat time up to 85%. USA defines hybrid as a reduction in synchronous class time. | 100% remote, but all classes meet at a regularly scheduled time. | 100% remote, but fewer synchronous class meetings than Remote Scheduled. USA defines hybrid as a reduction in synchronous class time. | No synchronous meetings, 100% self-paced within syllabus deadlines. Instruction must follow the part of term for the scheduled course unless otherwise approved. |
Instructor provides instruction within the classroom, but the student chooses to attend in-person, remote synchronous, or remote asychronous. See Full Text
Academic programs may utilize any two or all three of the modalities, but the appropriate
section number must be utilized to indicate synchronous or asynchronous requirements.

| Attendance Example | Every MWF from 8-8:50 AM (no reduction) | MWF class meets 2X a week | Class meets 3X a semester, two in person and one remote, for 2 hours. | Every MWF from 8:00 - 8:50 AM via a web conferencing platform (no reduction) | M class meets 6X during the semester on Zoom (66% reduction). | No meeting times. All coursework is completed in Canvas |

However, academic programs may offer courses which utilize only two of the three modalities.

| Distance Education (SACSCOC Defnition 50% or more online synchronous or online asynchronous) | No | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Independent Online Work | Less than 30% of the learning activities are designated as asynchronous online. | At least 30% of the learning activities are designated as asynchronous online. | At least 30% of the learning activities are designated as asynchronous online. | At least 30% of the learning activities are designated as asynchronous online. | At least 30% of the learning activities are designated as asynchronous online*. | Always - 100% of learning activities are designated asynchronous online* | All learning activities, are planned so as to equally serve students who attend in any modality. |
