Spring 2021 classes are a mix of in-person, online and hybrid. We have worked to ensure as much face-to-face interaction as possible while meeting COVID safety guidelines for the number of people that can safely be placed in rooms. This has included moving small classes into larger spaces and larger classes into hybrid modes that combine remote and in-person instruction. The transformation of the schedule has been ongoing and will be up until the first day of classes.
If you are a student who needs to be fully online due to a disability or other condition, visit the EAS website or submit this online form to request accommodations.

Hybrid denotes any form of blended learning where the student spends some time in face-to-face activities and some time in online learning. For example, a course might have some lectures delivered online via video with in-person time dedicated to group work and discussions. Another example is a course where students are divided into halves or thirds with groups rotating through in-person and online or group work.

Most importantly – don’t go to class. Instructors have been instructed to work with students who are ill and can’t attend class. Students should fill out a Student Absence Notification eform, so Student Services can verify student absences with each professor. This will not excuse a student absence, so students will still need to reach out to their professors.

Yes, however, on July 21, CMU announced a reduction in online tuition rates from $434/credit hour to $400/credit hour (for all residency statuses). Colorado residents are also eligible to apply their Colorado College Opportunity Fund stipend, effectively making their net rate $360/credit hour for online courses. The new online rate applies to any student enrolled in an online course starting this fall—regardless of when they registered. These rates will apply long-term assuming no major change in delivery due to COVID. Classes moved from face-to-face to online delivery have undergone a rigorous course design process where faculty worked incredibly hard — and side-by-side with instructional designers from our Office of Distance Education — to create a quality experience based on best practices for online learning and their own expertise.
