GRADUATE HANDBOOK, MASTER OF FINE ARTS - STUDENT HANDBOOK
Revised 8/7/07
Welcome to UNCG and the graduate programs in dance. In this document, we include electronic links to major university publications such as the Student Handbook, Graduate School Bulletin, and Graduate Teaching Assistant Handbook, as well as departmental policies, information, and forms. The valuable information collected here will help you come to a fuller understanding of what is expected of you as a graduate student, and what you should expect as a graduate student and member of the UNCG community. Most importantly, perhaps, we hope to help you avoid unexpected surprises as you complete your degree.
You should familiarize yourself with the information in the Student Handbook, Graduate School Bulletin, and, if appropriate, Graduate Teaching Assistant Handbook. You are required to follow the policies and procedures in place when you begin a degree program. Keep a copy of the Graduate Bulletin and the Graduate Handbook for the year you begin your program. With the okay of an advisor, students may also follow program changes that occur while they are enrolled, as long as these changes apply to their specific program.
Students sometimes apply for and are admitted to a new program, usually MA to MFA. These students follow the policies and procedures in place when they begin the new degree. Students interested in changing concentration (MA Theories and Practices to MA Chorography, for example), should check with the Graduate Coordinator for current policy regarding admissions and policies and procedures.
