An 独立学习 is a course in which the student learns and demonstrates understanding of course content, with limited instructor oversight. Independent studies are primarily intended as an opportunity for students to study a topic not covered in an existing course in the University Catalog.
An independent study version of a course that exists in the University Catalog should be created only when a needed class (such as a prerequisite course) is not available during a particular quarter, or when a student cannot otherwise accommodate a required class in their schedule prior to graduation. Students may not attend a class currently being offered and use that as part of their 独立学习 Agreement.
Only matriculated students at 网易彩票下载 may register for independent studies.
Registering for an 独立学习
To register for an independent study, students should work with their supervising instructor to complete the 独立学习 Agreement form, 可从 司法常务官办公室.
Students should submit their signed 独立学习 Agreement form to the 司法常务官办公室 no later than the 10th day of the quarter.* The student’s supervising instructor and the instructor’s department chair or dean may sign the form or submit their approval via SPU email to registrar@stephenandjenny.com.
The 司法常务官办公室 will create the course as noted on the agreement. 注册确认书, along with a copy of the agreement, will be emailed to the student and the supervising instructor.

Completion and grading of an 独立学习
The student and supervising instructor should meet on a regular basis, according to the number of consultations noted in the agreement. Work for the independent study should take place outside of a classroom setting.
Students will be assessed using Normal 分级 (letter grades, A–E) unless another grade mode is mutually agreed upon with their supervising instructor and listed on the 独立学习 Agreement. Grades for independent studies will be released at the same time as grades for all other courses, 正如 大学校历.
