1st Review

WRITING 1st REVIEW: One week prior to the 1st review, the student emails a 1-2 page double spaced artist statement to all committee members and the Graduate Advisor.
ATTENDEES: The committee and the student. The Graduate advisor may silently monitor any Review when not a committee member.

THE REVIEW: The Committee Chair manages the schedule, discussion and voting process of the Review. At the end of the Review, the Committee Chair creates a short synopsis of the discussion including suggestions and records them on the Committee Review Report Form. Those comments are shared with the student and the form is returned to the Graduate Advisor.

EVALUATION PROCESS: The vote is Pass/Fail by the majority.
GRADING: The committee agrees on the student’s semester grade for Committee Study. The assigned course supervisor will enter the grade.
FAILING: If a student fails Review 1, they are put on departmental probation and must pass Mid-Program Review or their program will be terminated.
