Courses taken through Independent Study are designed to fit learning into the student's work schedule or lifestyle. Independent Study allows students to take courses without the limitations of time and space associated with classroom instruction. Student Services staff provide assistance for students' individual needs. Students may enroll at any time and take up to nine months to complete a course. They may enroll in person at our office at 1515 St. Andrews Drive in Lawrence, or by mail, fax, or online.
Payment is accepted via credit card, cash, check, or employer payment plan.
Independent Study credit is transferable to most degree programs. With some exceptions, students enrolled solely in Independent Study courses are not eligible for financial assistance. Given the current limited options for financial aid, it is important to find scholarship assistance for part-time adult learners. This proposal is a response to this need for financial assistance for the part-time adult learner. Partial funding for this and other initiatives is welcome.
