A. Auditions for Applied Study
C. Jury Requirements for Each Area
  1. Repertoire sheets (Appendix A) 
    All students taking applied lessons must complete a repertoire sheet at the end of each long term. The sheets should be completed before a jury examination is performed. All repertoire sheets will be kept in the Music Office. 
  2. Juries are required for all music majors through the 220 levels. Beyond the 220 level, requirements vary for different majors (see specific area requirements). Students taking 1 hour elective lessons (2 credits) must perform a jury at the end of each semester of study. 
  3. Juries are performed for the appropriate area faculty, except for the 220 Gateway jury, which is performed for the full faculty. 
  4. All juries are graded Pass/Fail by a simple majority of the jurors. 
  5. Second semester 220 definitive area jury and 220 Gateway full-faculty jury: 
    1. Every student must pass this jury to continue in their major. 
    2. A student who fails this jury: 
      1. May not receive a grade higher than a C for that semester’s applied lessons. 
      2. May request re-examination on the same material as soon as possible in the following long term, no later than 1 month into the term. 
      3. Until the re-examination is passed, the student must be registered for study at the elective level. If the re-examination is passed, the student may re-enter the previous major and the elective course number can be changed to the appropriate major course number. 
      4. If re-examination is not passed or does not occur within the first month of the term, the student must remain in the elective course for the semester, and m ay perform the jury again at the end of the semester with new material. 
    3. Students who fail the 220 definitive area jury or the 220 Gateway jury twice with two different sets of repertoire may not continue their major but may continue study as an elective or in a different music major, if so, approved by the faculty. 
    4. Any student who passes the Gateway jury is approved to give a recital, unless the faculty specifically votes to prohibit that. The faculty may mandate that a must pass a pre-hearing before performing a recital.
