Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

HyFlex

Definition

HyFlex (hybrid-flexible) is a type of course in which an instructor simultaneously teaches online and in-person. Some HyFlex courses may permit students to choose whether to attend class in person or online from week to week, while others may have specific groups of students who always attend in one particular modality. If instructors plan to offer a HyFlex course, attendance expectations should be communicated clearly in the schedule notes, as well as in the course syllabus.

Ohio State's Student Information System itself does not provide any straightforward way to communicate this arrangement. Therefore it is recommended to provide separate sections for each mode, one in-person (P) and one distance learning (DL), because students pay on-campus fees if the class is labeled as hybrid (HY), even if they attend fully online throughout the term.
