Directed Studies
You must get the Associate Dean's approval to have a Directed Studies section created and to be paid for your work. A Curriculum Plan must be attached to all registration forms and must include your plan for evaluating the student's work.
All signatures must be provided and then submitted to the Dean's Assistant for the Associate Dean's signature.
Once the Associate Dean has signed the form, the Dean's Assistant will contact Records and will request that the section be opened with the appropriate number of seats (to a maximum of 5 seats). When Records confirms the section is opened, the student(s) will receive an email with instructions. The instructor will be copied on this email.
Instructors are paid, based on confirmed registrations, on the paydays subsequent to the fifth and tenth weeks of the course.
Prior Learning Assessment
Bring or send the form to the Dean's Assistant, who will seek approval for you and get the section opened. Once this is done, the student will be notified to pick up the form and go register.
Grades can be submitted electronically via on-line grade submission, by email to Records, or by completing the grade entry form.
