Academic Policies

The majority of courses offered at the College are delivered as seated classroom courses and award credit based upon the contact hours spent in class. Courses offered in other modes (such as fully online or mixed hybrids of online and seated work) that do not maintain the same number of contact hours award equivalent credit so long as one of the following criteria is met:

• the course covers the same material in the same depth as a seated version of the same course; or,
• the course has been evaluated by the department and by the Curriculum & Program review committee for content and rigor, and both the department and the Committee have approved the award of credit. Approval must be received and documented prior to the start of the term in which the course is offered. 

Note: Ordinarily online classes are limited to Abbey Distance Program students during the fall/spring semester.
