Independent Studies Procedures

The “Independent Study Form” and information about the policy and procedures for requesting an Independent Study course are available in the Office of Advising, Records, and Registration Services. Independent Study is only available to seniors with a G.P.A. of 3.00 or higher. Juniors may request Independent Study with approval from the Department Head and Dean of Undergraduate Studies.

An Independent Study course cannot replace a required course. A completed “Independent Study Agreement” approved by the faculty sponsor and appropriate Department Head or Program Director must be filed with the Office of Advising, Records, and Registration Services by the end of the semester preceding that in which the study will be conducted.
