Hybrid Course: A course in which instructional contact time is met through a combination of face-to-face class meetings and online learning activities.

In-Person Participation: Participation that meets the threshold for a student to have formally begun attendance in a face-to-face or hybrid course.  While the most common measure is class meeting attendance, it may also be defined as the completion of a graded assignment, quiz, or meaningful discussion relating to course-specific subject matter.

Substantive Online Participation: Participation that meets the threshold for a student to have formally begun attendance in an online course.  At minimum, substantive participation would include completion of one graded assignment, quiz, or meaningful discussion relating to course-specific subject matter.
