Some instructors hold regular schedules for class meetings in the online environment. If there are specific times listed for your online class, you should plan on being present during those times. Some courses may have scheduled interactions determined after the classes start and discussed in Canvas, the college’s online learning environment. Most courses without times are designed primarily for you to have a more flexible weekly schedule, allowing you to complete work for the course at times that are more convenient to you.
