Prerequisites, Notes & Instructor

  • Section Notes: Live Online Course; Live Online Course: Attend class remotely during specific days and times (sometimes referred to as synchronous learning). Instructors may deliver lessons from an off-campus location, from a campus classroom, lab or studio, and you¿ll also make use of Canvas, UMass Lowell¿s online learning management tool. Be advised: This online course has at least one test or exam that will need to be proctored virtually by a company that the University has contracted for this service. Virtual proctors will take security measures, including a scan of your testing environment and a photo ID check. Students will also have the option to take exams on campus if they choose not to use a virtual proctor. Detailed information about how the virtual proctored exam works will be available to you in Canvas when the course begins. You may also visit https://gps.uml.edu/courses/proctored- exams.cfm for more information.
