structors, classmates, and other references found in the classroom. Hybrid Courses (Coded with an “H” on the registra on screen. For example, H01 for Hybrid course) A hybrid class combines classroom instruc on with online learning. In a hybrid course, a significant por on of the classroom ac vi es are online, which reduces the amount of me spent in a tradi onal, face‐to‐face classroom. Students benefit from the quality instruc on and flexibility of both the online and classroom learning environments. This type of course can greatly benefit students who have limited me for in‐person classroom a endance. Students need regular access to the Internet in order to complete their online course work.

Course par cipa on and assignments may also include discussion board posts, blogs and tests. Some instructors may administer tests through the HGTC Tes ng Center (which is by appointment only).
