Starting Independent Studies

Registration to commence an Independent Study must occur within one of the four registration periods each year as indicated below and is a process that must be done in person through the Registrar's Office. Students must also make sure to register for an Independent Study by the deadline appropriate to when they are hoping to graduate.
