Directed/Independent Study
If a student is unable to meet with a class because of a schedule conflict or other special circumstances, it may be possible to take a course of directed/independent study. Under these programs a student meets individually with the instructor at a convenient time. A directed study is used when the course is being offered but, because of special circumstances, the student cannot meet at the scheduled times. An independent study is used when the course is not on the approved schedule. A fee per course is charged in addition to the regular tuition fee for the directed/independent study course. Application forms may be obtained from the Office of the Registrar and submitted to the appropriate college dean. All applications must be approved and filed in the Office of the Registrar by the sixth week of the academic term in which the student wants to take the class.
