Advising & Registration
Academic advising is essential to a productive academic experience. Advisors can identify and explain the most effective course sequence and help students select classes that best fit their individual curricula and career goals.
Each student is assigned a faculty advisor who assists in planning class schedules and monitoring appropriate progress toward the desired degree. Degree coordinators of Music Education, Music Therapy, Outside Field, and Performance are customarily responsible for advising students in these programs. The chair of the Department of Music may assign other advisors.
It is the policy of the Department of Music that students must see their assigned advisor during the early registration periods in the middle of each semester to obtain a signed registration form. Assigned advisors should also sign all drop/add cards prior to processing.
Although students are able to register for classes with OASIS, students must meet with their academic advisor prior to registration.
Deviation from the established sequence of courses, which involves taking a full-time load of only non-music or a majority of non-music courses, will be limited to two consecutive semesters. Advisors will inform students of the projected consequences concerning a delay in degree progress and may ask students to sign a statement acknowledging the understanding of the adaptation and any anticipated consequences.
