Each department has an Independent study upper division
course (190), and some departments have a graduate level
course (290). In some departments a 190 or 290 course may
be desirable preparation for the thesis or other advanced
study.

overall grade-point average of 3.0 or higher; this requirement
may be waived in exceptional cases, when approved by the
chairman of the department. Maximum credi( of six units is

course must first obtain the consent of an instructor who will
guide the project and the chairman of the department in which
the course is given. The student must register for 190 and 290
courses during the regular registration period in the same
manner as he registers for any other course at the time of
registration.

office, and an abstract of the study which is filed with the
department chairman. Approval forms and copies of the
current regulations may be obtained at department or school
