In-person classes at Millsaps College for at least 50% of each class
ZOOM meetings (Synchronous Work - done as a group at the same time)
Independent work (reading & pre-work found in your syllabus)
Course Connect - independent assignments done online at your own pace, but that have deadlines.
To find out more, read License to Preach Policies and Guidelines above.
You must do ALL sections of the course to receive credit. GBHEM requires that no student miss more than 20% of any COS Course.
