Independent Study
Opportunities for independent work are available through all College departments. A student, with the approval and consent of a faculty member, may enroll for independent study provided that the following guidelines are observed:
-
All applications for independent study must be co-signed by the student, the student's advisor, the faculty member who will assign the final grade, and the appropriate department chairperson.
-
A student may not enroll for more than 3 credits of independent study in any one session without the permission of the Curriculum Council.
-
Independent study does not substitute for regularly scheduled coursework.
-
A faculty member may refuse to supervise an independent study project only with the permission of the Provost.
-
A faculty member may, at the beginning of an independent study project, require that the work be done on a Pass-Fail basis. See Pass-Fail Option.
Application forms, which describe the independent study project, are available from the Registrar's Office. The form must be completed and filed with the Registrar prior to beginning the work.
