Advising & Orientation
Advising
Every music major has a music faculty advisor who is the student’s applied teacher. It is incumbent upon the student to keep the faculty advisor informed of all plans relative to coursework taken each semester. The faculty advisor will meet with the student each semester to pre-register for courses to be taken the next semester.

Advisement Holds
An advisement hold is released after a student has been advised by a professional staff advisor or a faculty advisor. Mandatory Advisement usually begins two weeks before registration in the Fall and Spring Semesters. Departmental advisement is available on school days during the Fall and Spring semesters. Please plan ahead and schedule advisement during the Mandatory Advisement periods; advisement may not be available during Winter Break and Summer sessions.
Rotation of Courses
For information on courses not offered every semester, students should follow the guidance of their applied instructor, ensemble director, or other appropriate faculty member.
