  3. The student’s advisor will assign the student a six-digit Alternate PIN number for registration purposes.
  4. If the student’s advisor is unable to access the student’s alternate PIN number, a completed registration form signed by both the student and the student’s advisor must be delivered to the administrative assistant to whom the responsibility has been delegated in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction.
  5. The administrative assistant will then assign an Alternate PIN number to the student.

Please note, the administrative assistant may not provide an Alternate PIN number unless a student presents a completed and signed registration form as proof the advisement process has occurred with the academic advisor.

Prior approval for an independent study course must be granted by the faculty member to whom the class, seminar, field or other experience has been assigned. Independent study courses are granted due to extenuating circumstances such as a student’s being ill, away on military duty, facing a family emergency, or other circumstance that would make taking the course in its regular format either impossible or formidably stressful to the point that a student’s continuation in the degree program is being threatened. No more than six (6) credit hours of independent study may be used toward a degree.
