2.6.6 Independent Study Guidelines

Independent study is embraced as an excellent way to align and advance one’s specific area of inquiry with that of a particular faculty member. In most cases, independent studies augment a Program of Study and are counted toward a student’s elective requirements. Approval of all Independent Study Proposals by the academic advisor in addition to the Independent Study faculty is required before submitting the appropriate form. The Independent Study Agreement form is submitted to the Registrar as part of the registration process and can occur at any time prior to the start of the semester. An independent study is distinct from waiving a course (described elsewhere).
