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 or artistic
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 find it necessary 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 and Program Fees. Some
programs and courses in the Mason Gross School of the Arts require the
payment of an additional fee for professional program expenses and
items such as materials and tickets. These fees are nonrefundable.
