Normally a grade of B or better is expected in all course work. No
grade below B is acceptable in the student's performance specialty.
After each term, the School 08 committee (representing Mason Gross
School of the Arts/graduate program) reviews a student's grades. If the
committee determines that the student is not maintaining satisfactory
academic or professional standards in any phase of the program, it may
recommend that the student be required to terminate his or her studies
and withdraw from Mason Gross School of the Arts. Dismissals for
academic reasons may be appealed in writing to the Scholastic Standing
Committee. There is no appeal from artistic dismissal.
Only 3
credits of C work are accepted toward the M.M. degree. A maximum of 6
credits in 300- or 400-level courses may be counted toward the degree.
