Directed/Independent Study may be utilized in appropriate circumstances, such as to resolve scheduling difficulties/conflicts. Each decision shall be made on a case by case basis. Directed/Independent Study students are expected to complete the same course work as in regularly scheduled course offerings. Directed/Independent Study involves a level of independence and self-direction on the part of the student to read material, complete and submit projects, reports and other assignments on a timely basis, and successfully pass examinations as if a student was attending regularly scheduled class. Students are required to meet with the instructors periodically as required by the learning contract and to follow the procedures and policies as established by the campus administration and the instructor. In no case is a student permitted to take more than 10% of the didactic portion of their program through directed/independent study.
