Topic titles can be added via Department Center for Independent Study and Internship classes that do not already have a topic title assigned. If a topic title is assigned and needs to be changed, do so via CLSS or by emailing class-scheduling@duke.edu.

Topic titles appear on the schedule and the transcripts of all enrolled students. Please check all entries for errors and typos.

Click the Class Options glasses icon of the appropriate class section.

If you do not see the topic title appear, email class-scheduling@duke.edu. This is due to effective dating in course catalog, and the Registrar's Office can fix this for you.
