Independent study in a course will be granted only in the most extraordinary circumstances. Eligibility for an independent study course will be determined by a committee comprised of academic department chairs, academic advisors and academic support staff.

If the committee determines that a student is eligible for an independent study course, the appropriate Department Chair will assign a professor and the student will be registered for the course by the Office of Registration and Records.

The assigned professor will organize all course requirements including exams, homework, lab assignments and research papers to compensate for the absence of classroom participation.
