Grading System and Progress Towards Graduation

Grading System

Progress towards Degree Completion

Music majors are allowed to attempt each music course two times only. If both attempts to complete a course are not successful, whether through failure or withdrawal, it is possible for the student to appeal to the Dean for an exception to this ruling. Appeals will be considered only when based on circumstances beyond the control of the student or other exceptional circumstances.

Credit Requirement for Music Degrees

Although each degree within the Music School requires the completion of prescribed courses, it is possible for students to reduce the number of courses by showing competency in some areas through exemption exams. The Stetson Catalog specifies the courses and number of credits required for graduation in any specific degree. A student is bound to the catalog posted in the year they enter Stetson. If a student changes majors, the student is bound to the catalog posted in the year the major change occurred.
