Independent Project
You may earn credit for independent projects in the summer. Students planning independent projects may pick up a learning contract at the Registrar’s Office or Summer Study Office (Weyerhaeuser 215). The completed contract and registration form must be returned by Friday, April 22nd. In order to be approved for independent study in summer, you must be in good academic standing. In addition, you must have some previous course work which directly relates to the methodology and subject matter of the project. You may not pursue as an independent study a topic that is covered in a regular course or a learning opportunity that meets the criteria of the definition of an internship. If approved, students may register until the summer registration deadline, Friday, May 20th. Students who wish to receive more than four credits must include a rationale for the additional credit with the proposal. If the project is approved and additional credit granted, there will be an additional fee of $1,245 per credit over four credits. Students must complete a separate learning contract for each independent project, and may receive no more than eight credits in Summer 2011. For more information about summer independent projects, please call the Summer Study Office at ext. 6330.
