Independent study

Class you want not listed? Take it independently!

You can register for practically any Cornell class listed in Courses of Study if you can find a professor willing to supervise the coursework through independent study. (This may be an actual independent study class or it may be any other course that a faculty member is willing to offer on a tutorial basis.)

Another option is to request that the School of Continuing Education and Summer Sessions try to arrange with the appropriate department to offer a class from the fall or spring roster. This can be done if a sufficient number of participants (sometimes as few as five or six) can be identified.

Once you have identified a professor willing to supervise your study, please follow the registration steps outlined on the Independent study enrollment page. This must be done at least two weeks prior to beginning the independent study class.
