Use this screen to grant your faculty or others the authority to approve students to enroll in Independent Study (IS) course sections. When you grant such authority, the person with the designated authority will have access to the appropriate screens to electronically approve students to enroll in an IS section. You have the following options for granting such authority, and you are not limited to one option.
Option
1: Use this
option if you want ALL the instructors in your department to have the
authority, in their own IS courses and sections, to electronically
approve students to enroll in IS.
q
Allow
all instructors to approve registrations in their IS sections. If you
check this box, all of the instructors of courses and sections in your
department will be able to electronically authorize students to enroll in their
respective IS sections. Note that instructors will only be able to
approve enrollment in their own IS courses and sections.
Option
2: Use this
option if you want to grant authority to an individual other than the
instructor to approve students to enroll in a specific IS course
section. For example, you may designate an individual in the Study Abroad
Office to have that authority for semester abroad courses where the instructors
are adjunct faculty members hired to
teach semester abroad courses.
Option
3: Use this
option to grant authority to instructors to approve students to enroll in
specific IS course sections. You would use this option if you don’t want
to grant authority to all instructors under Option 1. For example, you might
not want new instructors to have independent study students in which case you
could designate all but new instructors the authority to approve students to enroll
in IS sections.
