There are four modes of instruction for Spring 2021:
In Person (P): This is the only dual-mode option. Instructors teach students in person in the classroom and simultaneously online.
Online (ON): Instructors teach entirely online. Students may connect from anywhere, including on campus. Most classes are “synchronous,” meaning students meet as a class for virtual face-to-face instruction for at least 80% of class time.
In-Person Only (IO): This new mode provides teaching to students in a classroom without an online audience. Lectures will be recorded solely for students with an approved accommodation, students who must miss class due to self-isolation or quarantine, or other reasons approved by the instructor. IO classes are not available for students to take in online mode. In other words, if you will be an online-only student, you MAY NOT enroll in IO courses.
Alternating (AL): In this new mode, the instructor teaches at least one weekly lecture to all students in person, without an online audience and possibly without recording the lecture. The instructor teaches the other one or two weekly lectures to all students online. AL classes are not available for students if they are not able to attend the one weekly on-campus lecture.
Face coverings are required on campus, unless you are alone in your private office or dorm room. Students will be expected to practice physical distancing and wear protective face coverings at all times while in public spaces on the TCU campus. Failing to do so in the classroom could result in the student being asked to leave the room. Additionally, the instructor has the option to terminate the class period if students do not wear required masks or practice physical distancing.
If you have a fever (over 100° F), new cough, new shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, new chills, new muscle aches, sore throat, headache, diarrhea, or new loss of taste or smell, DO NOT COME TO CLASS. You must self-quarantine and consult with the Brown Lupton Health Center at 817-257-7949 for further guidance.
In addition, you must notify the Campus Life Office immediately at 817-257-7926. Campus Life will inform your professors that you are unable to attend class, and provide any assistance and support needed.

A note on multiple reviews
You may submit your résumé for review multiple times as long as you are making edits based on our feedback between submissions.
Your résumé is a highly individualized document that showcases your experiences and skills. As such, it requires thoughtful attention and time—more time than students typically allow. Creating and refining your résumé under pressure will not yield the same result as when you prioritize the time to invest in this important professional document.
Absolutely. Interviewing is a critical skill that takes time to develop. This is not a one and done skill area. We can prepare you for behavioral interviews, case interviews, panel interviews, and we develop customized interviews when necessary. We match you with a PDC staff person based on your background, experience, and level of development.
