*The UNT Graduate Catalog Professional Expectation Policy specifies that it is the student’s responsibility to know and meet all published deadlines [see College of Music - University of North Texas - Modern Campus Catalog™ (unt.edu)]
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.
