HIP Course Schedule

2026-2027

HIP Course Schedule for Fall 2026-Summer 2027 (updated 09/24/2026)

The majority of HIP courses are offered online in a synchronous (“live”) manner. Some courses also include a limited number of in-person class meetings.  The HIP website and course schedule PDF will clearly indicate whether classes are hybrid (primarily online with some in-person sessions), online synchronous (no in-person sessions), or online asynchronous. For hybrid courses, the dates of the in-person sessions will be announced prior to the start of the term, and these sessions will be held during the normal class hours (4:30-6:30 for most HIP courses) on the OHSU Marquam Hill or South Waterfront campuses (rooms TBA).
