Application for Examination for Music Students

Examinations and recitals must be presented in one of the examination periods. When a student and his/her teacher agree to present a required practical examination, the student must make an application by the deadline specified below. Registration for practical examinations is not available on Minerva. Permission to withdraw from a practical examination will normally be granted only in the case of illness. A medical certificate must be submitted to the Department of Performance Office within seven days after the withdrawal request has been received. Withdrawal from a practical examination on other than medical grounds must be authorized by the Chair of the Department of Performance.

Application for the above examinations must be made on the appropriate form available at the Performance Office. Applicants must obtain their teacher's approval on this form and submit it according to the following schedule:
