Independent Studies

Independent studies are designed for students to work at their own pace to complete courses online. You have up to four months to complete the course from the time you start but with no classes to attend, the course is flexible to fit within your busy schedule. Independent Studies are designed to accommodate learners that wish to self-pace their course work, however, require more discipline to stay on track.

Email Jonathan Barkowsky (barkowsky@twu.ca​) to inquire about possible courses.*
