What you need to know about the first week
The deadline for class registration is FRIDAY SEPT 25th.
Private Instruction
If you haven't already done so, please ensure you come and see Rob AS SOON AS POSSIBLE to get your registration information. The Office of the Registrar has told us categorically that there will be NO EXCEPTIONS for students who do not get this done while registration is open, that is from Monday Sept. 21-Friday Sept.25. This means if you have not registered through eCampus by Friday - no private instruction!!
Also - just to remind you that once you have received your permission and class number, you must register through eCampus (just like every other class). It is your responsibility to arrange your lesson time directly with your instructor.
Theory/Aural Skills
Please make sure that you have enrolled in your Theory/Aural skills classes. (MUSC1/1a and MUSC 4/4a are the courses running Fall quarter). Again - a reminder that this HAS to be done by Friday September 25th.
The Theory Placement exams will take place on Mon Sep 21st and Tues 22nd. Please contact Rob Kathner in the Music Dept office for times.
Aural Skills placements will occur on September 22 and 24 between 3:40 and 5:00 pm. Sign up for a 20 minute appointment with Professor Plude in the Music Office. If you are unavailable during these times, email Professor Plude at patscu@plude.com to make other arrangements. If you plan to begin the Aural Skills sequence this Fall please attend class until you have officially placed out.
Please ensure that if you are a freshman, or an existing student who needs to begin the sequence, you have registered for Theory and Aural Skills 1. Once placement exams have been evaluated, you have the opportunity to drop MUSC 1/1a during the first week of classes.
Orchestra, Concert Band, Choir, Jazz Ensemble/Combos, World Percussion Ensemble, Guitar Ensemble
Have you enrolled in your ensemble for this quarter? Make sure that you do so. Again, after Friday September 25 there will be NO exceptions and you will not receive credit for the class, even if you attend the class all quarter.
Lockers
To obtain a locker, please see Rob in the office.
Mailboxes
Mailboxes for all majors and minors are located in the practice room hallway. The student lounge is still available upstairs for you.
