Participation in Co-curricular Activities

In order to participate in co-curricular and student group activities, students must be simultaneously enrolled in classes at Northwestern. Students who have graduated or who are taking a quarter off from enrollment may not participate in co-curricular or student group activities. This includes all department sponsored and student run theatre and film projects and productions.

Dean’s Advisory Council

The Dean’s Advisory Council consists of approximately 18 undergraduate students representing the three divisions of the School: Division I Theatre, Dance and Performance Studies, Division II Communication Studies and Radio/TV/Film, and Division III Communication Sciences and Disorders. The Council meets with the Dean to discuss matters related to the undergraduate experience in the School. The group meets approximately once each quarter, but may also have special sessions. Applications are available during spring quarter from the Student Resource Center (in the Music and Communication Building, room 5-134).
