<p style="text-align:justify;">With the sudden onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and disruption of the&nbsp;education systems worldwide, private universities in Bangladesh transitioned to&nbsp;online classes to ensure continuity of education. Therefore, it was important&nbsp;to investigate the private university teachers’ and students’ perceptions&nbsp;regarding various dimensions of accessing online instruction and coping&nbsp;strategies used by teachers. A&nbsp;mixed-methods approach was used to collect&nbsp;data from 208 teachers and 674 students through questionnaires and focus group&nbsp;discussions. The findings indicate that teachers and students encountered&nbsp;several barriers, including unstable internet connection, costly internet&nbsp;packages, minimal support for teachers, issues with online assessment, and an&nbsp;unsuitable home environment. To combat existing problems related to assessment&nbsp;and to increase interaction in the classroom, teachers used a small range of&nbsp;coping strategies.&nbsp;Measures are suggested to ensure&nbsp;access to stable&nbsp;internet connectivity, financial support to students and teacher training on&nbsp;online pedagogy and assessment.</p>
