Academic Planning

ECU is working hard to ensure your upcoming academic year is well-supported and rewarding.

Meanwhile, scroll down to find some key points about Fall 2022 and an FAQ with answers to any questions you may have.

  • We are following the guidance of the 2022 COVID-19 Return to Campus primer and will be basing our decisions for Fall 2022 and beyond on the recommendations of our health authorities. The health and safety of our community will remain our highest priority.
  • In-person and online options for Fall 2022 are being evaluated. With an easing of restrictions, there will be opportunities to explore how we will move forward with our learning approach.
  • Online learning support is available. Staff from the Writing Centre, Counselling + Wellness, and the Library have compiled a guide to online learning. It includes tools, strategies, recommendations and links related to online learning.

Online and Hybrid Courses

What is a hybrid course?

A hybrid course is defined as a course that is taught partially online and partially in-person. For Fall 2021, the amount of in-person instruction and campus access may gradually increase over the course of the term as it becomes safe to do so.

The nature and timing of the in-person component will vary from course to course (so please check with the instructor for more details). If you sign up for a hybrid course it is assumed you will be able to participate in the full range of activities, both online and in person.

Can I register for a hybrid course but only participate in the online part?

If you sign up for a hybrid course it is assumed you will be able to participate in the full range of activities, both online and in person. If a student needs to sign up for a course which is a hybrid but might be unable to come to campus, we advise reaching out to the instructor to talk about options.

Please note that while instructors may not be able to approve all requests, it is important to start the conversation as early as possible if accommodations are needed.
