- Classes designed for first-year students to explore a discipline,
- Classes typically taken by seniors so they may have an opportunity to complete a capstone experience, and
- Classes at any level that especially benefit from hands-on, in-person instruction.
- Accommodations for occasional excused absences as per usual in any in-person course will be allowed.
