REMOTE AND HYBRID COURSES

During the 2021-22 academic year, Sarah Lawrence will

offer a limited number of remote and hybrid options for

students who may be unable to return to in-person

instruction due to the COVID-19 pandemic. All Sarah

Lawrence students are eligible to enroll in these courses,

but priority will be given to those who cannot live on nor

commute to campus.

Entirely Remote

Remote courses are conducted entirely online, including

conferences, group conferences, etc. While students

enrolled remotely will be given priority for these classes,

space permitting, students studying in-person may also

enroll. All aspects of this course will take place online

whether students are enrolled on campus or remotely.

Hybrid courses include both online and in-person

different approaches, and different faculty members

teaching hybrid courses will incorporate in-person and

remote elements differently, students need to use the

registration process, including pre-interview materials as

well as interviews, to clarify what a particular hybrid

course will entail. Again, while students enrolled remotely

will be given priority for these classes, space permitting,

students studying in-person may also enroll.
