DIPLOMA IN PERFORMANCE
The diploma in performance is a three-year program for students
with strong performance backgrounds who are planning to pursue
careers in performance. Seven of the required 15 credits must be,
and as many as 10.5 may be, courses in performance.

 Program Regulations
 1.
       Admission to the diploma in performance will be
      determined on the basis of performance excellence in audition and
      will be subject to the requirements for University entrance to
      the BMus program. Applicants must meet the performance standards
      for entering MU290B*, approximately the equivalent of the
      associate level of recognized conservatories.
 2.
       Required courses for the diploma that have been
      successfully completed prior to admission will normally be
      credited toward the diploma. Students may not be registered in
      both a degree program and the Diploma program at the same time.
      In order to receive a diploma, students must complete at least
      five credits, including MU490D*, while registered in the diploma
      program.
 3.
       Each student's program must be approved by the Dean.
 4.
       Students must normally maintain full-time status in each
      of three successive years in order for a diploma to be granted.
 5.
       For admission to Second and Third Year, and for receipt
      of the diploma, students must, each year, achieve a GPA of 5.00
      in all courses and be recommended for progression by the
      performance jury in their applied subject.
 6.
       Until the required courses in musical skills and theory
      have been successfully completed, students must be enrolled in
      these courses while they are enrolled in MU290D*, MU390D*, and
      MU490D*.
