Can't take a class during the regular semester?
Sign up for an Independent Study class!

Distance Education's Independent Study Program offers print-based and online classes that are not tied to regular campus semesters. A student may begin a class at any time and take up to nine months to complete the course. Upon registration for a print-based or online class students receive class information explaining everything they need to know to complete a class; this includes reading assignments, author notes, written assignments and exam information. Please see the Frequently Asked Questions page for more information about the courses.

Note: Distance Education Student registration information is found here and at the bottom of each class detail page.
