Many students may choose a self-directed learning experience. If you are a sophomore or above, you are eligible for an individual study program and a proposal can be developed using the procedures described below. However, before you submit a proposal ask yourself the following questions:

1. Do you have enough information about the topic to know the questions to ask?
2. Are necessary sources available to permit the type of investigation that you wish to make?
3. Do you possess the necessary financial resources to complete the proposed study?
4. Does time permit the investigation?
5. Do you have a plan that incorporates the scientific method of inquiry? Can you be objective?

Please take the following steps in developing your proposal:

1. Secure the necessary forms from the SPECIAL PROGRAMS or INFOCENTRAL in PATRONESS HALL.
2. Consult with a faculty sponsor.
3. Receive the endorsement of your academic adviser.
4. Receive the endorsement of the appropriate division's individual study committee.
5. Sign a waiver form, if the program is off campus.
6. Submit the completed proposal to the division individual study committee no later than October 27, 2006.

Registration for all programs opens with distribution of this publication. In order to register for programs off-campus a student must: 1) Obtain the written consent of the program instructor, and 2) Make a $100.00 non-refundable deposit at InfoCentral. This deposit is a portion of the total program fee.

6. Students may not enroll for more than 3 s.h. credit during a Winter Term, nor may students enroll in more than one Winter Term program during the month.
   
   
7. Students will not be allowed to repeat a Winter Term program which is essentially the same as one previously taken unless they are seeking to remove an "F."

19. Frequently summer-winter term programs are offered. These offerings allow students to make-up winter term deficiences or accelerate meeting the required number of Winter Terms. Full time students are entitled to one Winter Term program per calendar without additional tuition charge. Anyone registering for an additional program will be assessed the per semester hour tuition rate for the appropriate term. This policy applies to all programs offered throughout the year and designated by a student as a Winter Term choice.

Payment of full tuition, board, and room for the fall or spring term includes the Winter Term. Part-time students are assessed additional fees if they enroll during Winter Term. Students who enroll for the spring term only are required to pay tuition, room, and board for Winter Term. This amount is applied to their account for spring semester when they officially register for that term. Some programs have special fees associated with the program activities and all students are required to pay these fees. Such fees are indicated in the program description segment of this publication.

The library and microlab will be open during Winter Term as follows:
