SLIS Forms and Tips
Course Forms
- Outside Course Approval
Form
MIS students may count up to 6 hours outside SLIS toward the MIS degree.
Specialist (post-master's) degree students may count up to 15 hours outside
SLIS with approval. These outside courses must be approved by the student's
adviser.
- Course Waiver Approval Form
If course waiver is approved, the number of hours required for the degree
remains the same. The waiver allows students the option of an extra elective
course rather than a required core course.
- S605 Application and Guidelines (IUB)
Details on internship opportunities are available. Final approval must be
obtained through Howard Rosenbaum.
- S601 Directed Readings
Allows for students to study a specific field of specialization in which there is not
enough interest to warrant regular classroom instruction. The approval process is on the SLIS
Course Schedule page - by semester.
- S602 Directed Research
Allows for students to develop or conduct research projects under faculty supervision. These
research projects are often extensions of work begun in a course, or in some other way build
on preparation received during studies at SLIS. The approval process is on the SLIS
Course Schedule page - by semester.
- Audit Form
Most SLIS classes are only available for credit. In general
"participating" courses - particularly ones with labs -
are not available to audit at SLIS. However, check with
the course instructor if interested. Use the Registrar's
"Memorandum for Course Audit" form to sign up.
