This modality allows for enhanced engagement and learning activities that occur in real-time. Attendance for all digital synchronous Zoom classes is mandatory in the CMHC program.

   In-Person Synchronous Learning: CMHC students participate in some in-person learning activities simultaneously in real-time, on campus with the instructor. This modality allows for the added in-person engagement with the faculty and students, and allows for the inclusion of learning activities that are more conducive or appropriate in the in-person format. Attendance for any In-Person synchronous learning class is mandatory in the CMHC program and students are expected to travel to the specified DE site location.
