University of Wisconsin-Learning Innovations Independent Study
University of Wisconsin Colleges students may enroll in an independent study course (correspondence course) through University of Wisconsin-Learning Innovations if the course is not offered at a University of Wisconsin Colleges campus and if the University of Wisconsin-Learning Innovations Independent Learning catalog indicates the course is offered for university degree credit. Students will be expected to complete the correspondence course at the same time as their regular University of Wisconsin Colleges semester courses. Full-time students may take one University of Wisconsin-Learning Innovations course at no extra cost other than fees for text materials bought through University of Wisconsin-Learning Innovations and a small registration fee. The fee for the course will be waived if the following conditions apply:
- Full load tuition fees at a University of Wisconsin Colleges campus are paid;
- Total credits do not exceed 18 or the maximum allowed by University of Wisconsin Colleges; and
- Written permission has been obtained from the campus Student Services Office to take the course.
University of Wisconsin-Learning Innovations correspondence course fee waiver registrations are accepted only after semester fees have been paid and no later than the end of the second week of classes. Such registrations are not accepted during summer session. Contact your Student Services Office for an independent study list and appropriate forms.
