Important Notes

- Sections of the same course may have different delivery types. For example, it is possible to have an online lecture but in-person tutorials for the same course.
- Online sections may have in-person assessments, requiring an in person and on-campus presence.
- Assessment type may not be known at the time of registration.
- Distance exam service is available if it meets the course requirements.
