Students wanting to enroll in an independent study or special topics course must, in consultation with the instructor, complete the Independent Study/Special Topics Course Contract. The form must be submitted to the GKSOM Graduate Committee through the Graduate Forms Submission Portal.
Students must complete this form on or before the end of the add period in any given semester. NOTE-Ideally, the student works with the instructor of the independent study/special topics course with enough lead time to submit the document the semester before the independent study is to be taken.
The Graduate Committee then reviews the proposal to determine if the amount of coursework required is congruent with the number of credit hours requested. GKSOM Graduate Program Coordinator will inform the student of Graduate Committee approval and provide the student with registration information. Student projects that are not acceptable are returned to the student for revision with the help of the instructor.
