We are truly looking forward to bringing our community together for fall 2021 semester at Holy Names. As you know, the COVID-19 pandemic has made providing our students flexibility and multiple options for course delivery more important than ever.  

I’d like to share a refresher on the course modalities we will be offering this fall: 

•  Online-Synchronous: Class meets online via videoconferencing technology (e.g., Zoom) at scheduled times. 
• Online-Asynchronous: All the course materials are available online (Canvas). Students can complete weekly work independently on their own time. 
• Hybrid-Synchronous: Class meets on campus on some dates and online via videoconferencing technology (e.g., Zoom) on other dates. 
• Hybrid-Asynchronous: Class meets on campus on some dates. Students can complete all the remaining work online (Canvas) independently on their own time. 
• Note that due to clinical components, the School of Nursing will be offering a limited number of in-person classes this semester.
  

As a reminder, if you have not submitted your vaccination documentation or received an exemption by the updated deadline of August 13, you may not participate in classes that have any in-person components (e.g., hybrid classes). Please refer to previous emails for instructions on uploading your proof of vaccination status to the Symplicity portal. Contact StudentVaccine@hnu.edu with any questions.
