How to Make a Section an Independent Study

A section must be made an Independent Study at the creation of the section. In other

words, you can’t make an existing section an Independent Study.


  1. Go to the Academics Tab > Sections and click Add Section 

2.   Select the School, Campus, and Course Code. Enter the Term the Section will run. 
3.   Enter the Start Date, which is always the first day of the term. 
4.   Enter the # of actual class sessions and the following number of students allowed in the class 
5.   Be sure to select the Independent Study box. 


6.   Click Save. 

The Section has now been created and will appear with a blue “IS” next to it. You need to go to the Academics Tab > Sections to complete the setup for the section.
