Hybrid Section Setup (Academic Unit Course)
A Hybrid section is created when a course will meet in-person as well as online. The online portion can be Synchronous or Asynchronous.
Hybrid sections should use the Academic Unit Course Management Type instead of DOE Management Type.
Hybrid courses must have at least two time/location lines to represent both the In-Person and Online instruction/content.
Hybrid Section Set-up Instructions
