Academic Information


CP 9-16


Special Studies

Courses with course numbers 195 or 295 are designated as Special Studies in a specific discipline. These courses allow the advanced student to engage in intensive study or research of a given topic under the individual direction of a qualified faculty member. One credit hour is awarded for each two hours of contracted special study per week per semester.

It is expected that the student will spend at least two hours per week of additional outside study for each credit awarded over and above the contracted study. Enrollment in a special studies course requires approval of the Instructional Dean. Special Studies contracts are available in Student Services Office.

 

Special Topics/Activities

Special topics and activities are defined as seminars, workshops, or courses that have not previously been offered for credit by Morgan Community College.  They are generally offered to special needs groups, especially by Continuing Education. Special topics and activities are not designed to fulfill either an AA/AS degree requirement, or, to serve as an AA/AS elective. Special topics and activities credits need approval by the appropriate Instructional Dean prior to being offered to students. Courses are determined by the specific course number, 185 or 285, preceded by a three letter prefix to indicate the appropriate department (e.g., CSC 185, PED 285, etc.)

Independent Study

Independent Study course offerings at Morgan Community College may be made available to students who by virtue of time and circumstance are unable to attend scheduled classes. Arrangements for Independent Study are made with the instructor-of-record by the student and approved by the Instructional Dean.

Course Cancellations

The college must retain the customary right to cancel or alter programs or course offerings where enrollments are insufficient to permit them to be offered on an educationally sound and economically efficient basis.
