Note on course schedules:
Courses designated as Zoom are synchronous courses, meaning that they meet at designated times each week even though students can access them off campus. Zoom courses require that students have access to a computer with strong WIFI connection, as well as a computer camera and mic so that they can participate in class discussion.
