Directed Study Request

- Directed Study forms must be approved and signed by the academic advisor, Dean/Department Chair, Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs, and the Registrar.
General Policies on Directed Study Courses:
-
- Academic quality should not be sacrificed in directed study courses. Students are expected to perform at equivalent levels to those in regular courses. Modifications in course requirements should be minor and only reflect procedural matters rather than course content.
- The primary responsibility for completing a directed study course rests on the student. It is his/her responsibility to make sure that assignments are completed and tests are taken in a timely fashion.
- As a partner in a directed study course, the instructor agrees to set aside at least one hour per week (more if the class has a lab) to meet with the student. These hours and days (from beginning to end) shall be stated in writing. Instructional hours should not overlap with office hours.
