COMP 1299 - Directed Readings
Credit(s): 3
Lecture Hour(s): 3
Lecture Hours Schedule Type: Directed Reading
Subject to the approval of the Chair.
Directed Readings are intended to provide a more flexible approach for
students who want to pursue and receive credit in areas of study which are
of particular interest to them. Two Directed Reading courses can be used
for graduation purposes but they must be in different disciplines. A Directed
Reading cannot replicate an existing course. The objectives of the Directed
Reading course(s) must be filed in the Office of the Registrar and will be
made available to any institution requesting them for evaluation purposes.
Arrangements for Directed Readings must be completed on or before the Add/
Drop deadline.
