Explanation of Course Formats: Weekend Course: Students begin on their reading assignments a few weeks before meeting for a class weekend at, where they are in class all day Saturday and Sunday (with a break for Mass on Sunday). They have two more such weekends, spaced roughly a month apart, between which they work on assignments. The final assignments are generally due about a week or two after the final class weekend. The weekend course counts as residential credit, and entails approximately 39 clock hours of instruction. Affordable temporary on-campus housing is available for weekend students. Because of coinciding course dates and instruction times, it is not possible to take more than one weekend, web-hybrid, or intensive weekend/weekday hybrid course per term. Online Course: Offered over the spring, fall, or summer, online courses are completely distance-based courses. Online classes may involve different methods making use of the School s online course management system. They generally entail weekly reading, writing, and discussion-board assignments; some courses include video lectures. Most courses are asynchronous, meaning that students may log on at different times to complete each week s work. Some may occasionally be synchronous, meaning that students and teacher log on and connect at the same time. Web-hybrid: This format combines features from the weekend and online courses. It is an asynchronous online course held over the course of a semester. In addition, the course members meet once a month at for an all-day Saturday class session, for a total of approximately 20 clock hours of in-class instruction. Up to two web-hybrid courses count as residential credit; additional courses in the format count as distance learning. Intensive Residential: The intensive residential course entails a short period of campus residency. In most cases, this will be augmented with longer-term, distance-based work, which may begin before the residency. This is considered residential credit.
