COVID-19 Bulletin

NJIT has implemented three modes to deliver course instruction in the fall 2020 semester. 

Converged mode: The class will meet at the scheduled time with some students physically in the classroom and others joining remotely. Those joining remotely will have the opportunity to ask questions and fully participate as if they were physically in the classroom. Because of social distancing restrictions, only a reduced number of students will meet physically at any one time. If you are registered for a converged class, the times that you will be physically attending will be communicated to you towards the end of August.

Synchronous online: The class will meet at the scheduled time with all students attending remotely. Once again, students will have the opportunity to participate as if they were present in person.

Online: Students participate at the time they desire, post questions and participate in group chats. The entire course material is available digitally. Unless you are a student admitted to a fully online graduate program, the likelihood of you having an online class is low.

The plan is for the great majority of 100- and 200-level classes to be offered in a converged model. The majority of lecture courses at the 300- and 400-level will be offered in the synchronous online mode. Laboratory courses will be mostly offered in a converged mode. Graduate level courses will be offered mostly in the synchronous online mode, although some may be offered in the converged mode. This will allow our incoming undergraduate students to experience the NJIT campus and culture. 

Students registered for converged courses (except labs) have the option to attend remotely even when it is their turn to be in the classroom. Students registered for lab courses run in the converged mode have to follow a special procedure if they do not want to physically attend labs when it is their turn.  If they have health related issues which prevent them from physically attending, they should notify the Office of the Dean of Students.

In accordance with the CDC guidelines for social distancing, the Office of the Dean of Students will meet with anyone at our physical location at 255 Campus Center via appointment using Navigate. Feel free to call or email to schedule phone and/or virtual appointments with any member of our team.
