|
The penalty for dishonesty can vary from a reprimand and a failing grade for a particular assignment, to failure for the course, to expulsion from the University. The penalty varies with the nature of the offense, the individual instructor, the department, and the school or college. 2. Grades -For all doctoral programs, only grades from "A" to "B-" can be applied toward degree requirements. 3. Independent Study Courses - 4. Acceptable English - All students, including those for whom English is not the native language, are expected to present all written work in acceptable English. No double standard exists to differentiate students on the basis of proficiency in the use of the English language. Students are also responsible for becoming familiar with the College's statement on plagiarism and academic honesty. 5. Dismissal -All music departments reserve the right to dismiss a graduate student at any time from a given graduate degree program, if, in the opinion of the major department, the student is unable to meet departmental standards, regardless of grade point average. The decision will receive automatic review by the Graduate Curriculum and Policy Committee. The student has the right to appeal the departmental decision to the Graduate Curriculum and Policy Committee of the Esther Boyer College of Music. B. Professional Development Policy All students in the Esther Boyer College of Music, in addition to the required subjects toward their degrees, are obliged to serve in a number of capacities in order to enrich their academic and musical expertise. The Boyer College believes that such experiences give impetus to successful professional careers. Among the duties that may be required are conducting laboratory classes, tutoring, teaching private lessons, coaching, participating in the distribution and inventory control of University-owned musical instruments and instructional materials, participating in ensembles, accompanying, performing at admissions and open house events, supervising performance classes, and other academically related activities. C. Completion of Degree 1. The time period for completing a graduate degree program begins with the semester of matriculation. All master of music degree programs, including the master of music therapy, must be completed within six years; doctoral degree programs must be completed within seven years. Students who request an extension of time beyond the designated time limit for completion of their degree programs may be subject to reevaluation and/or revalidation of all credits earned prior to the designated time limit. 2. All incomplete grades and keyboard proficiencies must be completed by the 1st day of the month in which the student expects to graduate. D. Graduate Private Lesson Policy 1. Lessons -Weekly one-hour private lessons are provided for all matriculated master's and doctoral performance majors in good standing, provided at least three additional credits of programmatically-required graduate level study are taken simultaneously. A $150 per semester lesson fee (subject to change without notice) is charged for all private lessons. Tuition remission may not be used to cover the private lesson fee. 2. Recital -Students must show evidence through Temple University transcript records of having taken private lessons up to the time of the graduation recital. Students who wish to play a recital in the early fall should plan to register for and complete the final semester of lessons during the preceding summer months. 3. Non-Performance Majors - a. Graduate degree students in non- performing curricula may take up to six credits of applied study toward the degree with the permission of the major adviser. Such non-required lessons may be taken only if the student can pass the normal graduate-level performing audition expected of performance majors. In this event, a fee of $150, not covered by tuition remission, is charged. b. Graduate students, regardless of major, with a demonstrable performing proficiency that may not meet the more rigorous requirements of a graduate performance-level audition, may, by audition, qualify to take two credits of applied study per semester for graduate credit in the 290 course number series. These courses carry a fee of $350 plus tuition and may be applied to the non-performing curriculum for degree credit up to six semester hours with the approval of the major adviser. 4. Lesson Fees -Graduate assistantships and other forms of university-sponsored financial aid do not cover private lesson and Recital Extension fees. E. Recital Extension Policy 1. Lessons -Private applied lessons beyond the four-semester requirement currently in effect for graduate performance students, may be extended with the permission of the jury, department chair, and the Associate Dean or Dean of the Esther Boyer College of Music. Students withdrawing from recital requirement during the recital semester will receive an incomplete and must register for extended study for non-degree credit (course number: Music 300 "Recital Extension" for two credits). Recital Extension must be taken each semester until the recital has been presented. This course will be offered on a credit/no credit basis only. At the satisfactory completion of the recital, the "Incomplete" for the recital course will be replaced by a letter grade and "Music 300 Recital Extension" will then be issued a grade of "CR." Credit derived from Recital Extension will not be counted toward degree requirements. 2. Recital Extension Fees -Tuition for these additional terms of private study will be the cost of two graduate credits plus a $350 Recital Extension fee. Graduate assistantships and other forms of university-sponsored financial aid do not cover the Recital Extension fee. 3. Exceptions to Recital Extension - The exceptions to the Recital Extension Policy are as follows: a. Students who perform their recitals during the first three weeks of the spring semester are not required to register for Recital Extension that semester. b. Students who register for Recital Extension during the summer may perform their recitals during the first three weeks of the fall semester. However, if the student does not take Recital Extension during the summer, he or she may not present the recital in the fall semester-regardless of the date-without also registering for the fall semester of Recital Extension. 4. Failure to Present Recital -The degree status of students who are unable to present a recital after one semester of recital extension will be reviewed by the Associate Dean and the major adviser, who, in consultation with the major teacher and department, will determine whether or not the student may continue in the program. Inability to present the recital after one semester of Recital Extension may be grounds for dismissal from the degree program for failing to maintain reasonable academic progress.
