Explanation of Course Formats: Please note the descriptions below will be reviewed and updated in the
2014-2015 formation year.
Weekend Course:
Students begin on their reading assignments a few weeks before meeting for a class weekend at Saint Meinrad, where they are in class all day
Saturday and Sunday (with a break for Mass on Sunday). They have two more such weekends, spaced roughly a month apart, between which they
work on assignments. The final assignments are generally due about a week or two after the final class weekend. The weekend course counts as
residential credit, and entails approximately 39 clock hours of instruction. Affordable temporary on-campus housing is available for weekend
students. Because of coinciding course dates and instruction times, it is not possible to take more than one weekend, web-hybrid, or intensive
weekend/weekday hybrid course per term.
Online Course:
Offered over the full spring or fall weekday semesters (longer than the fall and spring weekend course terms), or for a shortened intensive term in the
summer, online courses are completely distance-based, asynchronous courses making use of the School’s online course management system. They
generally entail weekly reading, writing, and discussion-board assignments.
Web-hybrid:
This format combines features from the weekend and online courses. It is an asynchronous online course held over the course of a semester. In
addition, the course members meet once a month at Saint Meinrad for an all-day Saturday class session, for a total of approximately 20 clock hours
of in-class instruction. Up to two web-hybrid courses count as residential credit; additional courses in the format count as distance learning.
Online Podcast course:
This format is based on a bricks-and-mortar course offered at Saint Meinrad, either in the regular weekday format (fall or spring semester) or a
weekend course. The lectures and discussion are recorded as digital audio (and in some classes, also video) files. Distance-based students keep up
with the course by downloading these files (at a convenient time within the allowed timeframe set by the professor) and doing the same assignments
as the in-class students. This format is considered distance-learning rather than residential credit.
Intensive Residential:
The intensive residential course entails a short period of campus residency. In most cases, this will be augmented with longer-term, distance-based
work. This is considered residential credit.
