Adult Education Department
Independent Studies (for Specific Courses) Guidelines
The Department of Adult Education, consistent with UFV practices, offers to provide students with the opportunity to do independent studies of specific courses given the following:
- the course is not offered in the final calendar year of a student's program
- the course is required for graduation with a credential
- (by inference of the above) the course would delay a student's timely graduation in the May convocation or for some other reasonable deadline linked to credential completion
If a student meets the above terms, the process for requesting an independent study is to first get an approval of the Head before the course is opened as a CRN. Once opened, it is listed as available for 6 students, but it is not the practice of the Department to fill the course with students who do not meet the above terms.
These guidelines are intended to support students to complete credentials in a timely manner. There needs to be a faculty member who has taught the course in the past or the near future who is willing to supervise. The limits are placed to avoid jeopardizing the ability of the regularly scheduled course to fill and proceed in its designated term.
For all face-to-face sessions, a computer is required.
