Independent Learning Contract
An independent learning contract is set up as an individualized instruction to meet a student's needs under special circumstances (for example, when the course that a student needs to graduate is not available for registration in the required quarter). The instructor outlines the parameters and establishes clear goals and project timelines for the student to complete.
