Individual study is a special provision where a student makes a contractual agreement with an instructor to complete a course on a different time schedule or without attending class regularly. Anyone wishing to pursue an individual study must be a candidate for a degree at Appalachian or working toward teacher certification.
Approval Process

| If the faculty member agrees to supervise the individual study, the Special Course Form must be completed. |
| Once complete, the form must be presented to the department chair for approval. This form must then be sent to the Dean's Office for approval. |
| Once approved, the Dean's Office will submit the Special Course Form to the Registrar's Office for registration |
