Spring 2019 Holt Course Matrix

 

SCHEDULING FORMATS

Holt School courses meet 37.5 contact hours for regular credit courses (4 semester hours), and a minimum of one week of instruction for every semester hour of credit awarded.  The majority of our students are employed on a full time basis, so the majority of our courses should be scheduled to meet during the later scheduling block.

Blended Learning

Blended learning is the replacement of a portion of in-class face-to-face instruction with learning beyond the classroom, often, but not always, through the application of technology to enhance student learning outcomes.  Courses may not exceed 50% of contact hours through blended content.  The Hamilton Holt School requires certification to teach in a blended learning format.  Interested faculty members should contact the Help Desk at 407-628-6363 to discuss the certification process. 

Alternative Course Times

Weekend and intensive formats are possible.  Courses must meet 37.5 contact hours (excluding lunch breaks) and be scheduled to begin and end within the term dates.  Exceptions must be approved by the Holt School.

Cross-listed Courses

Courses that are shared between CLA and Holt programs must be declared when creating the schedule. Courses cross-listed at 4:00 and after will be considered "Holt" courses and will follow the Holt calendar for term dates, holidays, and exam schedule. The seating ratio should be at least 50/50 unless the course is used in Holt curriculum. In those cases, the ratio should favor Holt registrations. There will be opportunity to adjust the capacities during registration periods if needed.
