Online Curriculum Classes

The way a specific class is offered can vary by semester, and it can be difficult to say ahead of time which classes will be offered online, since course schedules depend on a number of changing factors. 

If you would like to take classes online at your convenience, select one of the following section codes:

  • OA — Online Asynchronous (Students and instructor do not meet online at the same time)    
  • SA — Seated Asynchronous (Student may attend in person or access class online at their convenience)    
  • Z — Hy-Flex Option (Instruction is delivered in three ways: fully seated, online synchronous, and online asynchronous. Students can change their mode of attendance in any given week.)

If you can be available online at a specific time, you can also select one of the following codes:

  • OS — Online Synchronous (students and instructor meet online at the same time)    
  • SS — Seated Synchronous (student may attend in person or access class online at a designated time)

Refer to our Search for Class Availability article for instructions in looking up which classes are currently available in an online format. More information about course section identifiers can be found by visiting abtech.edu/registration and selecting Course Section Identifiers.
