Instructors approved by KU departments evaluate and comment on student writing assignments. Instructional Package Course materials will be mailed within 48 hours of receipt of enrollment application and fees in the Independent Study Student Services Office. A Student Services publication, Independent Study Guidelines, informs students about their options and responsibilities for completing a course. The Guidelines and the preface of the study guide should be read thoroughly before students start working on a course. Assignment Process Students submit assignments to the instructor through the Student Services Office, where a confidential record of submissions and graded assignments is maintained on a database.
Instructors review and comment on students' lessons.
Students must wait for the return of the first assignment before submitting the second one so they can benefit from the instructor's remarks as they work on succeeding assignments. For the remainder of the course, they must follow the schedule outlined in the course study guide. Program supervisors in the high school should communicate with the Student Services manager to help students meet their school and course completion deadlines. The University of Kansas is committed to providing programs and activities to all persons, regardless of race, religion, color, sex, disability, national origin, ancestry, sexual orientation, marital or parental status and, to the extent covered by law, age or veteran status.
