Will any classes continue to meet in person?
No. All in-person class meetings were suspended beginning at 8 AM on Friday, March 13. All academic exercises (class, recitations, labs, etc.) were canceled from 8 AM on Friday, March 13 through Friday, March 20, 2020. Spring Break followed from March 23 through March 27. Classes resumed online on Monday, March 30, 2020.
When will my classes meet?
Online classes may be delivered in one of the following ways:
- Synchronously: Instructors may hold classes at their regularly scheduled time (Eastern Daylight Time zone EDT) under the normal schedule of classes, and with the same start and end times.
- Asynchronously: Instructors may record lectures so that students may watch them on their own schedule. In this case, the duration of any recorded lectures must not be longer than that of the normally scheduled lecture.
It is possible that a mix of the two delivery methods may be needed.
What if I am registered for a lab or performance subject and we can no longer meet in person?
The Teaching + Learning Lab and the Office of Open Learning are working closely with instructors to find the most appropriate ways to provide instruction that covers all subjects’ material. For more information, please see https://teachremote.mit.edu.
How do I access online material?
Your instructor will provide updates to you on how the remainder of the class will be conducted. The Institute is providing support for instructors to enable online instruction.
Who do I contact if I have questions about my subjects?
If you have questions about a specific subject, please contact the instructor directly. If you do not receive a response, you may wish to contact your program’s undergraduate administrator or undergraduate officer, graduate administrator, or graduate officer.
