A Stanford course on natural language processing taught by Dan Jurafsky and Chris Manning, released as free YouTube lecture videos. It covers core NLP methods and is tied to Jurafsky and Manning's textbook Speech and Language Processing.
Commenters point to it as a strong free introduction to NLP from the authors of a well-regarded textbook, with one calling it a great online course and another strongly recommending it as a mini-course.

I think the book "Speech and Language Processing, 2nd Edition" from Prof. Daniel Jurafsky is very good http://www.amazon.com/Speech-Language-Processing-Daniel-Jura...

Take a look at Coursera, the NLP course by Jurafsky/Manning (authors of recommendable books) was ok; and right now there's another course starting by Collins, another state-of-art researcher in NLP.
why not work within the system you're in? At my university a bunch of grad students got together wanting to do ml/pgm/nlp-class, so we put together a small group, added a semester project plus paper presentations to make it worthy of a grad class. It's a bummer that the coursera courses started so late, but otherwise it's working out great. We help each other out and teach each other new stuff, and in the end get credit ;)
If you can't get departmental approval for something like that, then you should at least be able to swing an easily justifiable independent study out of one of the free classes.
