Videoconferencing

Videoconferencing allows a live video connection between separate locations for the purpose of communication or interaction. FAU provides both interactive classrooms and conference rooms to the academic community on all FAU campuses. Many of these rooms are available to all colleges on a first-come, first-served basis for live transmission of accredited courses to partner campuses.

Interactive courses must be booked through the Registrar's Office prior to the scheduling of the academic term.
