How will night courses be impacted by rotational schedules?
Courses meeting once a week at night will involve a weekly rotation rather than a daily rotation. For example, half the students meet on week 1 and the other half on week 2.
-
Will any online classes move to face-to-face during the semester?
No.
-
Will more online-only class options be added soon?
Departments continue to work toward finalizing the fall schedule of classes, and it is possible that additional online-only class options will be added. Most new sections and format changes have been completed and we do not expect a significant number of new online-only classes to be added.
-
What if a student needs a class that is not offered online?
Students may need to consult with their advisors to talk through individual challenges with scheduling.
Academic advisors are equipped to answer many of the individual scheduling questions students may have. If a student does not have an advisor, the student should email advise@utc.edu for assistance.
-
Do students who live on campus get priority for lecture classes?
No.
-
What is the attendance policy for face-to-face classes?
Faculty are developing information to address pandemic challenges that allow additional flexibility, within reason, for students who may not be able to attend classes for factors related to COVID-19.
-
How can students “decode” their class schedules? How can a student tell in what format a class will be this fall?
Information about how to interpret the schedule is available here.
-
Is there a chance that class format will change? When will students definitively know the format of their classes?
The vast majority of class formats have been finalized. Any changes will be communicated to students registered in those classes. Students should closely monitor their UTC email account.
-
How will online labs be conducted—will kits or materials be sent to students?
All lab courses have been developed by the faculty who teach them. Labs on a rotation schedule require a group of the students in the lab one week while those not in the lab may watch a video of the experiments, and then switch the following week.
-
Can students register for a different class section, such as going from online to in-person? If so, how?
Students may make changes to their schedules by accessing their MyMocsNet account.
Registration instructions and step-by-step tutorials are available here. Students should ALWAYS consult with their academic advisors before making changes to their class schedule. If a student does not have an advisor, email advise@utc.edu for assistance.
-
What is a hybrid/blended class?
Hybrid/blended classes meet throughout the semester, usually on a rotating basis. Meeting times as determined by the instructor will be communicated to students closer to the semester. Hybrid/blended classes are not self-paced, so a student may not be disengaged for an extended period.
-
Do students have a 100 percent online/remote option?
A schedule comprised entirely of online/remote classes may be possible in some cases.
