Graduate Courses. Qualified undergraduate students who wish to
take courses offered by the graduate faculty may do so if they receive
the approval of the instructor, the director of the program offering
the course, and their undergraduate adviser.
Internships and
Fieldwork. Students ordinarily may count no more than 8 credits
(12 credits in visual arts and theater arts) of fieldwork or
internships toward their degree in addition to any fieldwork or
internships considered an integral part of their major program of
study.
Pass/No Credit Courses. Mason Gross School of the
Arts students are not permitted to register for courses on a Pass/No
Credit basis.
Repeated Courses. With the permission
of the department, a student may repeat a course taken at Rutgers in
which a grade of F was earned.* ** If the grade is improved, the
student may request that the original grade be removed from the
calculation of the cumulative grade-point average. The original grade
of F, however, remains on the transcript. The repeated course must be
taken at Rutgers.
The option to repeat a course may be used
only once for a given course. If a student fails a course a second
time, only the second F is computed into the cumulative
grade-point average.
In order for a change resulting from the
repetition of a course to be made to a student`s cumulative grade-point
average, a course repeat form, available in the Office of the Dean,
must be completed by the student.
Attendance. Students
are expected to attend all scheduled course meetings. Individual
programs may have particular requirements for reporting absences.
Students should consult their department. In general, when absences are
so excessive as to impair the student`s academic achievement in
any course, a report is sent by the instructor to the Office of the
Dean. Reasons for absences are then investigated and sent to the
instructor.
Students are expected to notify the dean`s office
if they plan to be absent from class for one week or more. Moreover,
students on academic probation are required to report the reasons for
any class absence to the dean of students within three school days of
that absence.
The work missed due to class absences is the
responsibility of the student to make up. The extent to which such
work is counted toward the student`s grade is left to the discretion of
the instructor. In the case of a reported absence from a final
examination, the dean`s office determines whether or not the student is
entitled to a makeup final examination.
Studio Course
Fees. Some studio courses in the Mason Gross School of the Arts
require the payment of an additional fee for items such as
materials and tickets.
