UNOTheatre Student Eligibility Policy
Students must maintain a minimum semester GPA of 2.0 to be eligible for acting roles or advanced technical Practicum assignments.
Students cast in productions are expected to prioritize their coursework and class preparation. Missing theatre classes or failing to engage may negatively impact grades, particularly in Practicum courses.
Success in productions is enhanced by the knowledge and skills gained in the classroom, making attendance in both arenas essential.
