All degree recitals must be scheduled through the College of Music Scheduling Office. That includes approved off-campus recitals and opera roles being performed as a degree recital. 

All College of Music room reservations are made through the College of Music Scheduling Office's scheduling app.

For help reserving a performance space in the College of Music, please see the Scheduling Office's "Make a Reservation" page. 

Once a student has successfully defended the thesis or dissertation, the major professor must submit the Oral Defense Form and Pre-Defense Checklist with the signatures of the student's advisory committee and Division Chair to the Graduate Studies Office.

The student must submit a digital copy of their document to the Graduate Studies Office two weeks before the deadline established by the Toulouse Graduate School. This digital copy must be submitted via the Colleg eof Music Graduate Studies Site on Canvas along with an iThenticate similarity report. This process provides the Director of Graduate Studies and the Dean of the College of Music adequate time to read and approve the thesis.

Once the document has been reviewed, the Graduate Studies Office will notify the student that they may submit the final document to the Toulouse Graduate School. The Graduate Studies Office cannot guarantee consideration of documents submitted less than two weeks prior to the deadline established by the Toulouse Graduate School.

For more information, please see our "Theses and Dissertations" page.

The UNT Graduate Catalog Professional Expectation Policy specifies that it is the student’s responsibility to know and meet all published deadlines.

Success in a graduate program requires students to not only 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 departmental;
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.

All of the course work to be credited toward the master’s or doctoral degree plan must be numbered 5000 or higher. Deficiencies or background courses are completed in addition to course work to be credited toward the graduate degree plan regardless of course number.

Only courses in which the student earned a B or better may count for credit towards the degree plan.
