Classes and Academic Information 

We look forward to welcoming students back for Autumn quarter 2023.  Only a very small number of College of Education classes will be offered in an online or hybrid format.  The best way to know is to look up your classes in the UW Autumn Time Schedule.  In-person classes will have building and room number listed in the Time Schedule, while online classes will not have a location listed and will have words "online" or "hybrid" or "Offered Via Remote Learning" in the Description/Comments, or in the Notes (access Notes by clicking on the SLN number).  Online classes may be conducted synchronously, meaning that you will have online class meetings at the times shown in the UW Time Schedule, or asynchronously, meaning that there are no scheduled class meetings, but you will complete online learning activities at times that fit your schedule while also keeping pace with the instructor’s expectations. 

We recognize that every student is in a different place with access to technology, access to the internet, work schedules, and caregiving responsibilities, so courses will be conducted with an eye to ensuring all students can access the content and learn effectively. If you have specific needs or concerns, contact your instructors directly.
