Degree Resources<\/h2>\n

There are\u00a0<\/span>five\u00a0main resources<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>through which it is expected students can handle most issues pertaining to their academic programs at the School of Music.<\/p>\n

Academic Bulletin<\/h5>\n

The Bulletin<\/a> under which a student matriculates serves as the\u00a0<\/span>authority<\/em>\u00a0<\/span>for that student\u2019s degree requirements. Each degree program at the University has an explanation in the Bulletin of which courses, exams, and projects must be completed to graduate.<\/p>\n

Degree Advice<\/h5>\n

Students can get a summary of their degree progress through the Degree Advice<\/a> progress tool in the MyBU Student Portal<\/a>. This resource explains which courses, exams, and projects are required for the degree, which have been completed, and which are still left to finish. If the Bulletin and Degree Advice disagree, the Bulletin\u2019s information serves as the authority. Degree Advice is supplemental to the services provided by a student\u2019s academic advisor.<\/p>\n

Music Forms & Procedures<\/h5>\n

The Music Student Resources portal<\/a> houses all School of Music-specific procedures, forms, policies, and internal matters. Just click on the “Quick Links and Downloads” drop-down.<\/span><\/p>\n

Change of Program Application<\/h5>\n

Current SOM Graduate Students who wish to apply to change to a different program (for example, from the Performance Diploma to the Master of Music) must do so within twelve months of matriculation in their original program. Students who register for classes for a third semester in their original program are no longer eligible to apply to change their program. In that case, the student must complete the current program and then, if desired, apply separately for admission to another program. Read the full guidance here: Change of Program Application<\/a>.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

MyBU Student Portal<\/h5>\n

The MyBU Student Portal<\/a> is a University resource that covers those areas centralized by the University, including: course registration, grades, student accounting, and loans. The Student Link also enables students to directly change their directory information and address University\u00a0<\/span>compliance issues<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hub Advising Resources for Undergraduates<\/h2>\n

Hub advising resources can be found\u00a0here<\/a>, including\u00a0Hub Requirements<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jury Examinations<\/h2>\n

Jury Examinations (juries) are ten to twenty-minute performance evaluations which take place at the end of each semester. All freshmen and sophomores enrolled in required Applied Music lessons must take end-of-semester juries, and each undergraduate major has specific evaluation requirements for the junior and senior years. First-year MM students in voice and certain DMA candidates are also required to perform juries. Please see the\u00a0<\/span>ML Applied Lesson Syllabus<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>for more details.<\/p>\n

Passing a jury examination signifies that a student as attained a new Applied level. The final sophomore jury examination (SO2 level) is used as the final level for clearing students for Performance-level proficiency.<\/p>\n

Registration<\/h4>\n

The sign up document has been sent to all eligible students; please note that you will need to use your BU account to enter your information. Students who will take a jury may then begin signing up for slots. The last day of classes is the last day to register for jury examinations. Please verify the availability of your accompanist, if any, before committing to a time.<\/p>\n

Each student taking a jury must bring a completed\u00a0<\/span>Applied Music Examination Form<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>to their jury. These forms are available under\u00a0<\/span>Forms & Documents<\/a>. This document ultimately serves as proof of jury completion in each student\u2019s Applied Music file.<\/p>\n

Students may forward additional questions about jury procedure to the\u00a0<\/span>Applied Department Coordinator.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
