Individualized study (605) allows students to explore topics beyond the standard curriculum. It cannot be used to fulfill degree requirements or replace regular courses. Additionally, it cannot be used for recital or exam preparations.
To Request Individualized Study:
- Talk with the professor you wish to complete the individual study. Professors are not obligated to offer students individualized study.
- Upon receiving confirmation from the professor, complete this Individualized Study Request Form.
- The SOMD Graduate Office will review your request and if you are eligible to register for Individualized Study credits, we will send you a DocHub form to finalize your term goals with your professor.
- Upon completion of the form, the SOMD Graduate Office will instruct you to register for the course.
Please note: Individualized study requests must be made to the SOMD Graduate Office by the 1st day of Finals Week. Missing the deadline may require a Late Drop-Add petition to the UO Registrar.
Each term, students must complete a new individualized study form to register for individualized study. Summer individualized study requires approval from the professor and the SOMD Associate Dean of Graduate Studies.
