  2. If a lab-based course is required, how are those requirements completed?

    There are a few courses offered through Online Learning that are labs or have an on-campus lab component. These types of courses usually include "Laboratory" in the course name or the course description will indicate "on campus lab session required". Students may be required to visit the RIT campus in order to participate. On campus lab sessions are usually scheduled as a three-day event during the 11-week quarter.
