The UNT College of Music expects graduate students in music to be committed to their degree and to follow the UNT Code of Student Conduct (University Policy Manual, section 07.012). Success in a graduate program requires students not only to meet minimum academic standards but also to be active contributors to the artistic and scholarly community of the College of Music. Hence, students must exhibit professional behavior, which includes (but is not limited to):

1) attending classes and meetings (including seminars, masterclasses, and departmentals);

2) meeting area, division, college, and university deadlines; and

3) maintaining respectful interactions with all members of the UNT community.

Students are also expected to adhere to professional standards as outlined in division/area handbooks. In cases where there is substantial evidence of unprofessional behavior, students will be removed from their program upon the recommendation of the director of graduate studies in consultation with the Division Chair and major professor. Students may appeal this decision by contacting the College of Music Senior Associate Dean for Academic Affairs.
