Music Department Course Transfer Evaluations

Who evaluates Music Department music transfer courses?

Authorized Music faculty are responsible for music course transfer decisions. The Chair is the arbiter in the case of a dispute.

Note: In order to ensure the proper placement of transfer students, the Music Department does not guarantee the equivalence of any course until the student is interviewed and has completed an audition, placement exam, or portfolio review with a Music faculty counselor.

What will the student receive?

Office of Degree Evaluation evaluators will enter the credit into the student's record and issue a new or revised Green Sheet Evaluation to the student within a week of receipt of the Course Equivalency, Substitution, and Waiver Form from the department.
