When a student, in consultation with his/her advisor, determines that an educational goal cannot be met through courses offered, the student may propose to meet this goal through independent study under the direction of a faculty member.  The student must be in good academic standing to pursue a directed reading elective. Directed reading electives are generally not open to summer-term students. See http://e-catalog.sewanee.edu/theology/academic-policies-procedures/enrollment/ for more information.
