The following concentrated course delivery format is intended to provide guidance and a clear policy statement for short courses offered by UNC. All courses of brief duration should be consistent with these requirements. Exceptions to this policy may be granted by the appropriate academic dean for undergraduate courses and the academic and Graduate Dean for graduate courses. However, all courses, regardless of format, are expected to meet minimum CCHE requirements (750 minutes of class contact per semester credit hour) and contain sufficient opportunities for reflection and consolidation of course content. Due to the nature of content, certain courses are not appropriate for concentrated delivery.
Syllabus should be provided to students a minimum of two weeks before the class meets and should include preparatory readings and assignments needed prior to the first day of the class. Research papers/projects/monitored exams should be due or administered two weeks after the end of class.
