Conference Course

A conference course is a course taught by an instructor to an individual student. A student may enroll for a conference course only by approval of the instructor of the course, the dean of the school in which the conference course is offered, and the University Registrar. Approval is normally given only when the following requirements are met:

• a conference course may be taken only in the last regular semester or summer term before the graduation of the student; 
• the course requested must be required for graduation; 
• the course is not scheduled to be taught that semester or term;  
• there is a conflict in schedule between two required courses during the last semester or term before graduation; and  
• the student must be enrolled in one or more regular courses in the University. 

At the dean’s discretion, exemptions may be made to approval criteria due to extenuating circumstances. An additional fee, dependent upon the number of credit hours, is charged for conference courses.
