Finding a Faculty Advisor

Students who wish to fulfill the Upper-class Writing Requirement through an independent study (or non-credit independent study) must have a faculty supervisor. If you have a proposed topic and wish to be assigned a faculty supervisor, you may complete Part II of the paper version of the Intent Form or use the online form to request an advisor . Please make sure to describe your topic or area of interest on the form.
