Registration for practical instruction (MUIN courses) is not available on Minerva. Students are reminded to submit an Online Practical Instruction Request Form by the specified deadlines. Practical Instruction will then be added onto students’ records.

The deadline for withdrawing from practical instruction is the end of the second week of classes in any term. Students cannot withdraw from practical instruction on Minerva; they must notify the Department of Performance in writing of their intention to withdraw.

The assignment of students to teachers for practical instruction is the responsibility of the Chair of the Department of Performance. Student requests for specific teachers will be taken into consideration whenever possible.

It is understood that returning students will study with the same teacher unless prior arrangements have been made with the Chair of the Department in consultation with the teachers concerned. However, those students who do not return the Online Practical Instruction Request (including Voice Coaching) by the specified deadline cannot be guaranteed the teacher of their choice, and they will be assessed a late fee of $50. Teacher assignments will be made soon after the period of enrolment and confirmed during the first week of classes. Following this assignment, it is the students' responsibility to contact their teachers and arrange lesson times.

Individual lessons missed as a consequence of the instructor's absence will be made up at the mutual convenience of the instructor and student. Lessons missed as a result of the student's absence will be made up only if notice of cancellation has been given 48 hours in advance, or if a doctor's certificate is produced and prior notice of the cancellation is given.
