Special Topics Courses

Undergraduate and graduate special topic courses may be created through the Office of
Academic Records with approval with the Office of the Provost. These courses are based on
knowledge level and end with a 99 number sequence.

To meet needs not fulfilled by regularly-listed catalog offerings, a special topics course may be initiated by an instructor or may be requested by a student or group of students. The course
description should be submitted to the Office of the Provost on a form available through the
Office of Academic Records on CobraStop. Requests for special topics courses will be evaluated
by the faculty sponsor(s), Dean, and the Office of the Provost on the basis of potential learning value and the academic resources available to the University. If the special topics course involves an off-campus internship, a contract must be initiated.
