A student must have a grade-point average in English of 3.3 or better to pursue independent study and may enroll in only one independent study course per term. The student should discuss the contemplated project with, and secure the approval of, the instructor under whom the student wishes to work. The instructor, as sponsor, then submits a proposal to the Curriculum Committee for approval. All proposals must be received by the committee before the end of the preregistration period. Normally the department does not permit independent study in areas in which courses are regularly offered.
