The University allows Hybrid courses without curriculum approval if some, but not a significant majority, of instruction is delivered online rather than via face-to-face contact between students and an instructor(s). 


The TSConstruction help page contains the definitions of hybrid vs online, as does the UW Course Modes page.


For fully online courses, those with a significant majority of instruction as distance learning, units must have the course approved to be offered as Distance Learning via the course-change/course-approval process
