Application 
The MAP application form is available from the Registrar's Office, including an online 
printable form at http://www.grinnell.edu/offices/registrar/additionalinfo/forms/.  The deadline for 
proposing a MAP or any other Independent Study during the academic year falls on 
Monday of the week following the end of the pre-registration period.  Deadline for students 
who were on Off-Campus Study the semester prior to the MAP, or who are applying for the second 
semester of a two-part MAP is the Friday of the first full week of classes.


The application should set out a clear set of goals and a highly detailed plan, including 
the questions or problems you intend to address and how you intend to go about 
addressing them.


Supplies needed to complete the project (poster, artwork, photocopies, etc.) are the 
responsibility of the student and the academic department.  If your MAP will incur 
special costs or expenses, please be sure to include a tentative budget with the
application.
