Complete Course Catalog

CMN may cancel classes for a variety of reasons; therefore, some courses may be offered by alternative course delivery methods or other means. Eligibility for alternative course delivery requires that a student possess a minimum GPA of 2.00 and have Sophomore status. Students must contact their assigned Student Achievement Specialist for assistance. These courses are denoted with a section number starting with 9 (i.e. 91, 92 or 99).

Alternative course delivery methods include:

• Face-to-Face:
  • This course consists of on-campus lectures and in-class discussions. The instructor lectures and facilitates class discussion in the face-to- face classes and then students complete assignments based on these classroom activities.
• Hybrid courses, including in-person and web-based online work:
  • These courses include a combination of face-to-face in-person classes, face-to-face online classes, and web-based online work. In a hybrid course, up to 74% of the course may be delivered online either synchronously (a class learns all together) or asynchronously (class members can learn at their own time). There is some flexibility in how the course is offered with some of the traditional face-to-face instruction being replaced with web-based online learning (e.g., video lectures, online discussions, or other class activities) via the Learning Management System. Face-to-face in-person time requirements will vary between hybrid courses and will be determined by the instructor.
• Online:
  • ​​​​​​​This course consists of instruction accomplished entirely off campus All course activity is done online; there are no required face-to-face sessions within the course and no requirements for on-campus activity. The instructor uses a learning management system for students to participate in online forums using online tools to facilitate discussion and interaction. All coursework is completed using the learning management system.
• Hands-on Lab and Shop:
  • These learning opportunities consist of the instructor using a learning management system which enables students to participate in online forums using online tools to facilitate discussion and interaction. Students then come to the lab for hands-on learning. Some face-to-face labs may also be replaced by virtual, online ones.

Occasionally special topics courses (i.e., XXX199, XXX299, or XXX499) are offered to address emerging trends or specialized content not available through the general curriculum. Degree-seeking students are allowed to take two Special Topics courses. These opportunities are only announced through course schedules and may have financial aid restrictions. Your Student Achievement Specialist or faculty member can provide specific information when these courses are scheduled. (Prerequisite: Junior or Senior standing for XXX499 courses)

The purpose of Independent Study is to allow the student to explore a topic of scholarly interest which is not available through traditional CMN coursework.
