Extramural students may enroll for a cumulative total of 18 undergraduate credits before applying to an undergraduate degree program. More than 18 credits may be taken only if the student does not wish to participate in a degree program and signs a statement to that effect. Extramural students who enroll in graduate courses are subject to the guidelines on transfer of credit outlined in the Ithaca College graduate catalog. No more than 12 graduate credits taken as an extramural student may be applied to a graduate degree at Ithaca College. Credits earned on an extramural basis may be transferred to an Ithaca College degree program, although this transfer is not guaranteed.
All transfer credits are subject to approval by the appropriate dean.
All dismissals from the extramural study program are at the discretion of the director of continuing education and summer sessions. Independent Studies and Internships Currently matriculated Ithaca College undergraduate and graduate students not on academic warning may register for one or more independent studies or an internship. During the summer sessions many academic departments offer independent and other special studies that may not be available in regular classrooms or laboratories. Independent studies are normally for 1 to 4 credits and may take the form of directed study, advanced reading, independent reading, independent research, a research project, a computer project, or a tutorial. Students should contact their academic dean s office or department chair for more information.
