Students are not required to complete IDS 2912 or any other course to be eligible for IDS 4914. This course is recommended for junior and senior classification; however, if a student receives approval from a faculty mentor, they are still eligible to take this course.

Sections of IDS 4914 are set-up on the alternate calendar schedule to allow students to continue to register for the course after drop-add week; however, this course will not be added to the schedule after the end of the term.

IDS 4914 can be repeated up to four (4) times.

Faculty members interested in teaching a section of IDS 4914 should contact their department chair or department scheduler regarding the scheduling, permitting, and grading process. Students should work with their instructor or advisor to enroll in the proper section.
