Instructional Methods

The University of the Fraser Valley offers courses in five different instructional methods.

Course sections will declare a distinct instructional method so students are fully aware of the course expectations at the time of registration.

To assist in course selection, students can query sections offered of a particular instructional method type by checking the Instructional Method field within myUFV’s online registration dashboard.
