Independent Study

Independent Study is a form of learning whereby a supervising Columbia-Greene Community College faculty member and a student cooperatively design a written contract equivalent to college-level study in a specific discipline. (Independent Study cannot, however, be a substitute for regularly scheduled course offerings.) To qualify, the student must have completed at least 12 semester hours with a minimum grade of 3.0 from an accredited college. Independent Study Contract forms and regulations are available in the Office of the Dean of Academic Affairs. The student must present the completed and signed contract when registering. Deadlines for registration and completion of projects will follow the regular college calendar as published in the current catalog.
