Non-Registered Students
Persons whose names do not appear on the class list or roster
are not registered for the course. Fundamentally, a person who is
not registered has no relationship with the University and is not
entitled to any services including instruction, testing, evaluation,
disability services, or submission of a grade.
Persons sitting in a course who have not arranged for payment
of tuition and fees or are deviating from the curriculum without
approval will be administratively deregistered. The college dean
and the instructor will be notified of the deregistration.
Persons who are sitting in class and are not on the class list or
roster will be asked to leave the course until they are registered.
Return to the class is only allowed when a copy of the Student
Data Sheet showing enrollment in the course with stamped proof
of payment is provided to the instructor.
Graduate Work by Undergraduates
Undergraduates who are adequately prepared to undertake
advanced work may enroll in master’s-level courses. Written
permission must be obtained from the student’s undergraduate
advisor and the dean or program chair of the graduate college prior
to registration. in some circumstances, written approval must
also be obtained from a graduate advisor. if approval is granted,
the graduate units apply only to the bachelor’s degree, unless the
student has been admitted to a linked-degree program.
Maximum Unit Load
Both undergraduate and graduate students who wish to register
for more than 12 units per quarter must obtain written approval
from the college dean.
Independent Study
independent study offers students an opportunity for individual
or tutorial instruction in areas not covered by regularly offered
courses. such study is student initiated and student planned, but it
must be directed by a JFK University faculty member.
a student who wishes to undertake independent study must
obtain the permission of the college dean or program chair. The
student is expected to demonstrate to the dean’s satisfaction that:
(1) the planned course of study cannot be completed through a
regularly offered course; (2) the proposed study is demonstrably

upper-division or graduate-level academic work; (3) the student
workload standard of 30 hours per unit of credit will be met; and
(4) the content, objectives, and timetable of the study have been
carefully planned.
When independent study is approved, the dean or program chair
assists the student in selecting a faculty member to supervise the
project. The student and faculty supervisor prepare a Contract
for Independent Study detailing the objectives of the course, the
materials and projects to be completed, arrangements for meetings
between student and supervisor, units of credit to be given,
number of student-applied hours required, number and dates of
examinations and written assignments, and criteria for evaluation.
The contract also establishes a date by which the student must
complete all specified work.
When the Contract for Independent Study has been completed and
signed by both the dean or program chair and faculty supervisor,
the student submits it to the registrar’s office and pays the tuition
and the appropriate non-refundable fees. The deadline for
registration is Friday of the sixth week of the quarter.
No work should begin on an independent study project until all
approval and registration procedures have been completed. Forms
and instructions may be obtained from the registrar’s office.
The dean has immediate responsibility and the vice President
of academic affairs the ultimate responsibility for the quality of
independent study. independent studies are reviewed periodically
by the vice President of academic affairs to ensure that completed
work meets University standards of academic excellence.
