SUNY Suffolk offers classes in a variety of instructional delivery methods to meet your needs.
Please be aware that the tech device you use for your classes will need to have a webcam and microphone for you to participate in online instruction.
Here is a brief explanation of how each modality works:
- Face-to-Face - Traditional on-campus in-person instruction typically in a classroom or lab setting.
- Fully Online - instruction is provided by the professor through Brightspace, the College’s Digital Learning Environment. Students interact with faculty and complete assignments working on their own time, while adhering to course deadlines.
- Real-Time Online - recreates a classroom experience with your instructor and other class members coming together for live virtual instruction at regularly scheduled days and times.
- Combined Online - 50% Online and 50% Real-Time Online meeting times with your instructor.
- Blended - partly on campus and partly Online or Real-Time Online, used mostly for labs and performance courses.
