Independent Study Credit Courses
Hagerstown Community College provides the opportunity for qualified students to pursue topics of special interest for credit through the process of independent study. The College permits the qualified student, with faculty and academic officer approval, to receive a course of study contract ranging from one to three credit hours. Students seeking more than three credits for one independent study project must present written justification to the division providing theinstruction. Students may earn a maximum of 6 credits of independent study while at HCC. These credits may be used to replace discipline-related open electives or restricted electives only, and are not to replace program requirements or required specialty courses. Qualified students are those who have successfully completed six credit hours in the subject matter field and have achieved at least a 3.0 GPA. Interested students must obtain the approval of the appropriate faculty and division director.
