Undergraduate Directed Independent Study
Directed Independent Study permits the intermediate or advanced student an opportunity to undertake the study of a topic not otherwise offered in the curriculum or to pursue a topic beyond or in greater depth than is possible within the context of a regular course.
Complete the center portion of the form below and attach a course syllabus that defines the problem/topic to be studied, indicates the course readings and assignments, outlines the weekly schedule for the course, and describes the student’s final product. Please also include a grading scale for this class.
Once you have met with the student and agreed on the course content and explained the course requirements, secure the necessary signatures. This form must be signed by the student, faculty member, and the Coordinator for Undergraduate studies. At that time, a copy of the form will be provided to the student, faculty, and the advising office.
This process must be completed at least 3 days prior to the final day of drop/add so the course can be added to the student’s class schedule.
