Student Rights and Responsibilities, Conflict Resolution;
Grade Grievance

 

Student Rights. Every student has the right to be treated with respect by other students and by faculty and staff. Discrimination, harassment and intimidation of others will not be tolerated. Students have a right to review their records.

 

Student Responsibilities.  Each student is responsible for his/her own academic career. This includes being aware of the catalog requirements and the contents of this handbook. It also means taking responsibility for meeting obligations, caring for the property of the University and of other people, and demonstrating the commitment and pride that make a great music department. A student who acts in violation of the Student Code of Conduct will be referred to Student Judicial Services for disciplinary action.

 

Conflict Resolution. Conflicts between students or between a student and a faculty member may occasionally occur. Every effort should be exerted to minimize these by being aware of the rights and needs of others, and by recognizing shared goals.

When attempts to resolve conflicts privately have proven unsuccessful, a student may bring a conflict to the attention of the Department Head, who will serve as mediator. If the conflict involves a breach of the Student Code of Conduct, the matter will be referred to Student Judicial Services.

 

Grade Grievance. The policies on grade grievance are presented in detail at the Office of Academic Programming.
