Important Note About Distance Learning Courses
Distance learning courses are self-paced and may have no synchronous (live, real-time) components, other than assessments (e.g. assignments, exams).
This differs from 2020 Winter Term 1 courses that would usually be held in-person, but due to the COVID-19 situation will be delivered online as Web Oriented courses. View and register for Web Oriented courses at the Course Schedule .
Distance Learning students: for course related issues (i.e. browser setup, online exams, Canvas) contact LT.hub@ubc.ca .
