Lone Star College now has a variety of options for classes this semester with expanded offerings of face-to-face classes while continuing to provide hybrid and online courses to meet student needs. LSC students will have three class options: in-person classes that take place entirely on campus; hybrid classes which are a combination of online and face-to-face learning; and online classes which provide a flexible and convenient choice for busy schedules and freedom to self-direct.

Know what to expect when creating your schedule.
OL: Online Your Time
Online classes do not require students and faculty to be in the same physical location for instruction. Students will engage in their class online, which will require them to have access to a computer, webcam, and reliable internet connection to meet all course requirements. Students may be required to attend in-person orientations, testing, academic support services, internships/fieldwork, or other non-instructional activities.
OS: Online Live – scheduled, online class meetings required
In Online Live sections, students will be required to attend regularly scheduled virtual classes. Students will engage in their class online, which will require them to have access to a computer, webcam, and reliable internet connection to meet all course requirements. Students may be required to attend in-person orientations, testing, academic support services, internships/fieldwork, or other non-instructional activities.
H: Hybrid – Both In Person & Online
Hybrid classes include both in-person and online learning. Students will have required on- campus times as reflected in the section schedule. They will be on campus for fewer hours than an in-person course and fulfill other portions of their course online.
FL: HyFlex
HyFlex is a course format that gives students the flexibility to choose how they attend each class day. Students can come to campus in person, join live virtually, or complete coursework online while still meeting required deadlines, based on their needs for that day. All options give students full access to the same course content and expectations to ensure successful completion, regardless of how they choose to participate.
P: In Person
In-person classes may also be called "Face-to-Face" in which faculty and students meet in a classroom for their scheduled class time. These courses are the most traditional form of a class, and faculty may also use an online platform to support student learning.
