POLICY ON INDEPENDENT STUDY

Eligibility for undergraduate and graduate programs

An undergraduate student (in good academic standing on regular status) may enroll in independent study during the final semester before graduation if a course necessary for graduation is not offered or if a course necessary for graduation has been cancelled. Before an independent study can be authorized, the student should consult with the program advisors to determine if a substitute course is available. Independent study is not authorized if the required course was previously offered and the student would have been able to take the course but elected not to do so. No more than three credits of independent study can be used for an undergraduate degree. Independent study may not be used to repeat a course previously completed with a passing grade.

A graduate student (in good academic standing on regular status) may enroll in independent study if a course necessary for graduation is not offered or if a course necessary for graduation has been cancelled. Independent study can be authorized if sufficient courses or substitute courses are not available for the student to make continuous progress towards completing the degree. No more than six credits of independent study can be used for a graduate degree.

Approval Process

1. A faculty member with expertise in the subject area (preferably a faculty member who has previously taught the course) agrees to supervise the independent study.

2. The faculty member submits a study plan detailing the learning objectives, reading assignments, student- faculty contact schedule, and methods of assessment.

3. A faculty panel consisting of the chair or associate dean and one person from the department reviews the study plan. The panel may approve the plan, disapprove the plan, or request additional information.

4. If the faculty panel agrees then a recommendation is made to the dean for final approval.

5. The dean notifies the Registrar’s Office in writing of the approval of the independent study.

6. The student registers for the course as independent study and pays the regular tuition fee.

7. At the end of the semester the faculty supervisor submits all documents verifying completion of the independent study along with the grade for the course.

Eligibility for DBA program

An Independent Study is a course in which the instructor will direct student(s) in a non-classroom environment to replace a regular (traditional) course when the regular course cannot be offered by the program for the current semester due to various reasons. The purpose of offering such a course is to help DBA students to complete the course requirements in time. Any course in the DBA curriculum can be taken as an Independent Study at any study-time period if there is consent from the instructor (multiple instructors in a case of team-teaching) who offers that course and approval from the DBA Council.

The specific guideline, which regulates the taking of a particular independent study course, may be customized to each class. However, this specific guideline should be made within the general guidelines specified below, and pre-approved by the DBA Council.

An Independent Study course can be offered during any study-time period within an academic semester as long as the minimum contact hours requirement (45 hours) is satisfied and/or equivalent workload for the student are satisfied and the DBA Council approves it.

These policies do not apply to ExMBA students
