Independent Study Timelines

Independent Study Timelines
 
Registration:  Independent Study courses follow the same timelines as SPHTM regular courses.  Registration must take place no later than the 3rd week of classes. Students must register for an Independent Study course by the last day in the semester to add a course.  All planning and entry into Terra Dotta must be complete prior to submission of an add form for registration in the course.   A student may not register for an independent study after the last day to add a course in a given semester.      
 
Dropping an Independent Study: If you decide not to complete the independent study, you must drop the course with the same dates for tuition refunds as all other courses. 
 
Submission of grades:  Faculty must submit the grade for the independent study course by the last day to submit grades for that semester. 
 
Incompletes:  If the work has not been completed, the instructor may submit a grade of “I” (incomplete).  The “I” has the same requirements for completing the work in a designated time (see SPHTM guidelines for “I” incomplete work as for regular courses.).  Failure to complete the independent study course will result in a grade of “F”.   
 
Dropping an Independent Study Course: The same time lines apply for dropping an independent study course and for tuition refund as for all SPHTM courses.
