Course Modalities

Courses at UCF are offered in various different “modalities”. The modality refers to how the course is delivered, such as face-to-face, fully-online, or though recorded video. We typically work with W, M, and RS courses.

How do I find the modality of a course?

The best way to find the modality of a course is to search for the course in Redbeard. However, you can usually tell the modality of a course by looking at its name, although this format is not enforced.

Let’s take ENC1101-21Spring 0M01 as an example:

  • ENC1101 is the course prefix and number.
  • 21Spring is the semester in which this course was taught. In this case, Spring of 2021.
  • 0M01 identifies the modality as M (mixed-mode), and the section number as 01. There is often more than one section of a course taught in a given semester, so this number distinguishes between them.
    • If the first two digits are 00, then it’s probably a P (face-to-face) course.
    • If the first two digits are 0W, then it’s probably a WW (fully-online) course.
