Spring 2021 Course Schedules

Locations & Formats

There will be changes to course locations and the formatting of classes to encourage social distancing.

Course Locations

 ETSU's academic departments are working to finalize changes to the course schedule.  

• The purpose of the changes is to encourage social distancing which is a crucial strategy for a safe on-campus experience this spring. 
• Room changes are being made to maximize use of the larger classrooms for on-ground courses.

Course Formatting 

There are several different formats available for courses:

• On-ground required - The student must attend on campus, or at another designated location, for at least part of the semester.  At least some course competencies cannot be taught without some on-ground experience.

• On-ground with remote options - Students will have the option to complete the course on-ground or remotely according to the schedule determined by the course faculty and communicated on the syllabus.  This should only be used for courses that have some on-ground requirements.

• Remote Delivery Online Synchronous - Students meet online as a class at the specific day and time noted on the class schedule.

• Remote Delivery Online Asynchronous - Students complete the course online working within course deadlines.  The day and time will NOT appear on the schedule for asynchronous online courses.

Note: This does not apply to courses organized by the professional schools.
