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

     of two credits.
