Statement of Faculty Senate Action:

APC Document #2:

Policy on Independent Individual Courses

Effective Catalog Date: Fall, 1999

Insert: on page 58, immediately after the section describing "Special Topics Courses", the following

Independent Individual Courses

Students may arrange to meet an academic need which cannot be satisfied through the regular schedule of courses provided a faculty member is willing to assume the responsibility of teaching an "Independent Course" and the Department Chair /Program Director approves. The appropriate forms are obtained from the Department Chair/ Program Director or from the Registrar's office. Completed forms must be presented during the registration period for the term in which the course is offered.

Rationale: This policy, outlined in the Faculty Handbook (Section 3.8.4.1.3) is already in effect. This insertion places it in a more visible and accessible location and informs students of the procedure.
