Enrollment in independent study courses must be completed prior to the end of the 5th week of instruction. You must petition to enroll late. Petitioning does not guarantee enrollment. It may take some time to complete the process of gaining approval, so start this process well ahead of time- we recommend at least 2 weeks prior to the due date.  Approval of this form does not automatically enroll you in the course. Once approved, you will receive a PIN by email. You will still need to go to Student Center to enroll using the PIN.
