COL Documentation - View Lectures (Students)

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: If I have trouble with the recording, can I come to class?

A: In short, No. Except for exams (mentioned above) online students are not allowed to come to class. In many cases classrooms are full and extra online students would displace students registered for the in-class section. If you are able to attend class you should register for the in-class section. Note that students in the in-class section of an COL-enabled course have access to the same recordings and materials as online students.
