Quarter Students Wishing to Enroll in a Semester Course
Instructions
The Quarter Students Application Form for Cross-Calendar Registration via Independent Study is to be used by quarter students who seek to enroll in an Independent Study course taught by semester faculty for an upcoming term.
To successfully navigate this process the student must complete both the application form, and an Independent Study (IS) contract. (The IS contract must include a detailed description of how the semester course will be customized for the quarter student on the quarter schedule and how the instructor will interact and check in with the student during the quarter.)
The Application Form for Cross-Calendar Registration via Independent Study must have the signatures of the student, Dean or Director of the student's program, Dean or Director of the department offering the desired topic, and instructor in order to be processed. Both completed forms should be sent to Drexel University's Graduate College to obtain a final signature of approval.
Enrolling in Semester Term Course(s) as a Quarter Student
Quarter students may only request to enroll in cross-calendar independent study courses that will progress them towards degree. Students may only take a maximum of two independent study courses. The student's DegreeWorks audit will be reviewed to ensure that the requested course will progress the student towards degree. Once the Independent Study course is added, the student’s advisor must make any needed exceptions in DegreeWorks.
Financial Aid
A 4.5 credit minimum threshold must be met during any given term to be eligible for financial aid. As with any program, a drop below that threshold will result in withdrawal of financial aid. When registered for cross-calendar independent study coursework, a student must also be registered for another course in their plan of study.
Deadline Information
All fields must be completed, with all signatures submitted no later than the prescribed deadline in order to be reviewed for processing. See form for dates and deadlines.
Enrollment Confirmation
Student, advisor and instructor will receive an email from the Office of the University Registrar confirming registration. Instructor will also receive grading instructions for the Independent Study section.
