• In-person - This format consists of courses delivered by an instructor with students in attendance in a classroom, lecture hall, auditorium, or laboratory on UNB campuses. This also includes clinical and education practicums. In-person courses will have a building/room assigned. Registration is completed through Colleague Self-Service Online Registration. 
  
  
• Open Entry - This online course format consists of self-directed (asynchronous) learning. You will work through the course individually, at your own pace, with interaction directly between you and the instructor as necessary. You may register at any time and can take up to six months to complete a 3-credit hour course. Registration must be completed through College of Extended Learning.
  
  
• Term Based - This online course format provides interactive content, weekly readings and assignments, virtual live sessions, and possibly interactive group work with other students. Various forms of assessment are used, so please contact the instructor for further information. Teams or Zoom may be used to supplement the delivery of online term-based courses. However, courses are still housed within the D2L Brightspace platform. Registration for term-based summer courses opens March 1.
