Course Formats & Policies

Course Formats

HACC offers courses in a variety of formats, sometimes called modalities.  For example, some courses are offered entirely face-to-face on one of HACC’s campuses while others are offered fully online (with everything done over a device without set class meeting times) through our Virtual Learning option.  HACC also offers courses that combine face-to-face and online elements as well as remote courses broadcast over Zoom to students wherever they are on a set schedule (for example, every Tuesday and Thursday from 9:30 a.m.-10:45 a.m. during the semester). 

When signing up for courses, students will want to pay close attention to the format.  HACC recommends that students check out the helpful information on these formats available on its webpage at www.hacc.edu/courseschedule.

Course Policies

In the syllabus, students will find out more about key policies in each class.  This includes, among others, the instructor’s attendance policy, academic dishonesty policy and makeup policy.  Each instructor, or sometimes program, may have a slightly different policy so it is important for students to be aware of them and to stay in touch with their instructor with questions.
