Academics and Instruction
Northwestern has returned to primarily in-person instruction. Use this section to learn more about instruction, term dates, class schedules, and registration for quarter-based undergraduate and graduate programs.
Modes of Instruction
The vast majority of classes take place in person. Instruction falls into three modalities:
- Fully remote, either asynchronous or synchronous
- Face-to-face
- Hybrid, a combination of remote and face-to-face instruction.
Decisions about the modes of instruction are tailored to each discipline, school and department. Learn more about each mode of instruction.
For assistance with teaching and learning in a remote environment, see the Remote Teaching and Learning Guidance website.
Class Schedules
The class schedules are available in CAESAR, including a list of courses to be taught, instructors and some meeting information for quarter-based programs except those in the Kellogg School of Management, Feinberg School of Medicine clinical programs and the School of Professional Studies.
