- Classes and Academic Information
For the 2024-2025 academic year, most classes will be offered in-person, but some will also be offered in an online or hybrid format. The best way to know is to look up your classes in the UW Time Schedule. In-person classes will have building and room number listed in the Time Schedule, while online classes will not have a location listed and will have words "online" or "hybrid" or "Offered Via Remote Learning" in the Description/Comments, or in the Notes (access Notes by clicking on the SLN number). Online classes may be conducted synchronously, meaning that you will have online class meetings at the times shown in the UW Time Schedule, or asynchronously, meaning that there are no scheduled class meetings, but you will complete online learning activities at times that fit your schedule while also keeping pace with the instructor’s expectations.
We recognize that every student is in a different place with access to technology, access to the internet, work schedules, and caregiving responsibilities, so courses will be conducted with an eye to ensuring all students can access the content and learn effectively. If you have specific needs or concerns, contact your instructors directly.
