INTRODUCTION CONTINUED the representation and inclusion of diverse cultures and backgrounds within the student body, faculty, staff and curriculum. We believe that diversity refers to a number of human qualities and characteristics. National origin, race, gender, age, socioeconomic background, religion, sexual orientation and disabilities are characteristics that combine in unique ways, forming the multiple identities we all hold. Those diverse characteristics contribute positively to the environment of the College and to an education that accurately reflects and contributes to the complex interplay of art, culture and society. We hold ourselves responsible to fulfill the mission of the College by preparing students “to contribute to society as artists, citizens, and innovators,” and believe that the mission is best served by actively cultivating a positive environment in which to explore and express the diverse perspectives of a pluralistic society. 2 Introduction
ACADEMIC RIGHTS & RESPONSIBILITIES ACADEMIC & DEGREE PLANNING Advising/Degree Requirements For students admitted Fall 2013, a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) or Bachelor of Music (BMus) from Cornish College of the Arts consists of the following basic requirements. Please see the Cornish College of the Arts Catalog or www.cornish. edu for a more detailed breakdown of degree requirements. If the degree requirements change during the time you are enrolled at Cornish, you may choose to complete a degree under the new requirements or elect to continue under those in effect at the time of your initial enrollment. You may not combine provisions of the two programs.

To ensure graduation within four years and timely progression in class standing, students should complete at least 30-33 credits each year and closely follow the model program listed in the Cornish Catalog. Class level is based on a student’s total (career) earned credits: Additionally, the Assistant Registrar will review students’ degree progress each summer and make updates to Degree Audits, which are available to you on Compass at any time in order to detail your progress toward completion of degree requirements. Freshman 0 – 29 credits Sophomore 30 – 59 credits Junior 60 – 89 credits Senior 90+ credits Advising Worksheet (Degree Audit) The Degree Audit indicates course requirements that you have completed, course requirements in progress, and requirements still to be completed. The College website will have the most current model program for your area of study. The Department Chair will serve as advisor or appoint a faculty member in that capacity. In addition to meeting with students before advance registration, the advisor is there to answer any questions regarding degree requirements and academic progress. Students are also encouraged to make a yearly appointment with the Assistant Registrar in the Registration & Records Office to discuss their academic progress. It is most easily understood when read in conjunction with the description of your Model Program as detailed in the Cornish College of the Arts Catalog and on the College website. If you need help interpreting the Degree Audit or have questions, please contact your Departmental Advisor or the Registration & Records Office. The Degree Audit does not constitute an official academic record. Rather, it is created in support of student Academic Rights & Responsibilities 3
