Independent Study

At times, our majors may decide to specialize their studies with a faculty member in a particular area through an Independent Study course. These are individually designed in collaboration with a specific faculty member and must have the approval of the department chair.

To begin the approval process, please review and complete the independent study form in consultation with the supervising faculty member and return the signed copy to the IRIS Department in 324 Lake Ontario Hall. Once approved, a permit will be put in place enabling you to register for the course.
