Plans for Fall 2022 Semester

Academic Calendar

Fall: View the Academic Calendar for Fall 2022.

Class Schedule

The fall course schedules will include several instructional formats: live-streaming Desktop Video Conferencing (DVC) via Zoom, online, hybrid, and a limited number of small-group, on-ground classes. 

They are as follows: 

Online Courses

There are two options that do not require students to come to a Columbia State campus. Students must search for Online Campus in the Advanced Search when looking for classes. 

Live-Streaming Desktop Video Conferencing (DVC/Zoom)
Live-streaming classes are engaged live virtual learning. Students must be available to participate in class during the posted scheduled days and times for lecture and will submit assignments using ‘Online Campus’ or other software specific to the course. Students will be required to have a camera and microphone to participate. Computer labs will be open on every campus for student use by appointment. On the first day of class, check for an announcement in Online Campus for the Zoom link to attend class.

Columbia State Web-Asynchronous and TN eCampus
Students set their schedule for completing the class (asynchronous) and do not have to log in at a certain time or day. Students are required to meet all published assignment deadlines in order to pass the course.

Courses Scheduled on any Columbia State Campus

These classes are identified by the attribute of In Person in the course schedule and will not have the Live Streaming via Zoom attribute included. In Person classes will have all course meetings on campus and will meet during the first week of the term. Students should attend at the location provided in the schedule or at the location provided by the instructor/program director sent via Columbia State email if location is listed as TBA in the schedule.  

Clinical, Internships, Practicums, and Apprenticeships

Workplace learning courses such as clinical, internships, and practicums will require participation at the clinical or assigned work location to complete course requirements. Completion of these courses will depend on the availability of access to the assigned location.

In the event of closure of access to workplace learning facilities, students may be reassigned to new locations or an incomplete grade assigned in the course until assigned locations reopen to students. Students electing an incomplete may extend program completion timelines. Students participating in clinical must sign a COVID-19 Pandemic Acknowledgement form.

Flex Sessions/Faculty-Student Study Groups

To support students and learning styles small group campus-based flex class sessions, study groups or specialized instruction may be offered. These sessions would be instructor scheduled classroom time that would be consistent with safe protocol and for the purpose of meeting student learning needs.

Orientation

Our Orientation program is designed for new degree seeking and certificate students. It provides information to support a successful transition to college.

All first time freshman and transfer students with less than 24 earned credit hours are required to attend orientation. Only fully admitted students can sign-up for an orientation. Additionally, advising and registration for new students is now completed via individual appointments with College Success Advisors.
