Independent Study Form – due by the first day of the semester you are completing the independent study. This is filled out for either campus.
If you are completing one at UNCG, you will also need to fill out the Permission to Register for Independent Study form (web-based form). You must coordinate with the department before you can fill out this form as you will need the instructor-specific CRN and section information.

NCAT Plans of Study (for NCAT-assigned students only)
About
A Plan of Study is your intended outline of the courses you will take to complete your degree. They are required. Plans of Study are due before the completion of 18 semester hours. Advanced Standing and new Two Year students will submit these their first fall semester.
Revised copies (if needed) are submitted in January of the semester you graduate.
Steps
Download the copy that best suits your status. Type directly into the document to complete it.
Fill out the top section with your information; do not forget to click the drop-down menu and select your expected graduation semester.
Do not change the College, Major, or Credit Hours boxes.
Fill in your advisor’s name and email. Do not put anything in the “Graduate Courses Completed at Other Institutions” boxes on the first page – UNLESS you actually have transfer credit.
Add expected year of completion on the table that documents the coursework (the semester is already there, just click to the right of the semester and type in the year). You can change the electives (default is SWK 685 Social Work Special Topics) but all the other courses are required and will require approval to change.
After you fill out your form, follow the Program Director’s instructions for signing and turning in (you only turn in a Plan of Study for your home campus). Keep a copy for your records so that if you do need to revise, you won’t have to start completely over.
