UCF 2010/11 Music Student Handbook 8 Registering for Classes It is imperative that you register at your assigned priority time during each registration period so that you receive the classes needed. Classes are canceled based on priority enrollments. Special Note: Students must register for applied music by the last day of class of the previous semester in order to guarantee space in their applied studio. If you need help determining your proper level of applied music (1xxx, 2xxx, etc.) refer to the catalog under Music Courses, consult your applied music teacher, or see your advisor. Department policy requires that all students involved in ensembles must be enrolled for credit. Music Course Offerings Schedule The schedule for undergraduate music course offerings may be downloaded from the Department of Music website at http://www.music.ucf.edu/students_classes.php. Please note that this schedule is subject to change, so you should consult the most recent version or your advisor before planning your courses. Applied Music Juries To understand how your grade in applied music will be determined, be sure to request the jury requirements from your applied music teacher at your first lesson. Scheduling a Recital See Appendix H for policies and procedures for scheduling student recitals. Music Forum (MUS 1010) The Department of Music and National Association of Schools of Music believe that experiencing an ongoing schedule of cross-disciplinary listening experiences is an important part of the education process for each of its majors. To fulfill this curricular objective, the Department of Music created Music Forum 1010, a series of special musical events required of all music majors. Forum is held every Tuesday/Thursday 12:00 1:15 in the Rehearsal Hall. Please refer to Appendix G for Music Forum Policies and Procedures. Department of Music Facilities and Equipment Music Equipment Fee All full-time music majors are assessed a $90.00 Music Equipment Fee each fall and spring semester. Part-time music majors are assessed a $45.00 fee. This fee is used to provide Music majors with the exceptional amounts of expensive equipment necessary for music study. Examples include the many pianos used in practice rooms and classrooms, university-owned instruments used in classes and ensembles, recording and playback equipment, computers and software in the music technology lab, etc.

UCF 2010/11 Music Student Handbook 9 Instrument Storage Lockers Instrument storage lockers are supervised by Mr. David Schreier and are issued from his office (M 216). Lockers are available to all music majors on a first-come basis. Instrument lockers are available for use by music majors taking applied lessons for credit and students enrolled in university ensembles or methods classes, in that order. Large-instrument lockers are issued first to those who have a university-owned instrument and second to music majors needing storage space for their own instruments. [See locker rental fee below.] Personally owned locks may not be used on instrument storage lockers. Any locker found with a lock other than the one issued will be subject to the same penalties listed under Penalties for Failing to Vacate Lockers. Note: There is a $50 fine for gross misuse of lockers. Rental Fee: Lockers are issued starting the first day of classes of each semester. The first locker is free to music majors as part of your Music Equipment fee. There is a $10 rental charge per semester for each subsequent locker and for lockers for non-music majors, if available. Rental fees must be paid in full before a locker will be issued. The fee is not refundable. Vacating and Renewing Lockers: At the end of the spring semester all lockers must be emptied of all contents by 5:00 p.m. on the last day of final examination week. Lockers for either summer session are issued at the beginning of each session for those students enrolled in music classes. All lockers so issued must be vacated and cleaned or renewed at the end of any session. Penalties for Failing to Vacate Lockers: After the posted vacate date has passed, those who have failed to empty their lockers will: 1. Lose all locker privileges for the upcoming academic year, be assessed a $50 cleaning fee, and their locker contents will be confiscated. [A lost padlock fee of $10 may also be charged.] 2. All confiscated contents are held for 60 days. After 60 days, these confiscated contents will revert to UCF; they will not be returned to the original owner without the approval of the chair of the Department of Music. Music Stands Do not remove music stands from the building unless it is for a Department of Music performance (in which case, please bring them back to their original location). If you happen to see Department of Music stands in another campus or off-campus building, please bring them back to the Music Department or tell Mr. David Schreier so they can be retrieved. Please understand that the unauthorized removal of a music stand or other Department of Music equipment constitutes a theft which can be prosecuted as a felony. University-Owned Instruments University-owned instruments are supervised by Mr. David Schreier, assigned by the applied music faculty or ensemble directors, and issued by Mr. Schreier (M 216). These instruments are provided in part the Music Equipment Fee paid by all music majors. The room is open Monday through Friday according to a posted schedule.

Piano student practice rooms are M 239, 240, 242, and 244. Keys and Keycard Procedure: Keys not renewed or returned by the schedule renewal/return date will result in a grade of I in Forum. If the key is not returned within thirty days of the end of the semester the I will be converted to a U. It is not necessary to return your keycard. If you lose your key or keycard report it to Mrs. Beliveau right away. You will be charged $10.00 to replace a lost key or keycard. Music majors who wish to check out practice room keys for summer A/B sessions and are enrolled in music courses may be issued a key or keycard. Security and Courtesies: There is NO acceptable method of reserving an unoccupied practice room. If vacant for ten minutes an unoccupied room can be legitimately taken over by another student even if the room includes someone else s belongings. Do not take food or beverage items into practice rooms (water in water bottles is permitted). If you leave your room unattended, your personal belongings are at risk. The University is not responsible for lost personal items or items left unattended. Piano Practice Rooms: M 239, 240, 242, and 244 are equipped with Steinway B grand pianos and one Yamaha C6 for piano students.

UCF 2010/11 Music Student Handbook 11 Loss of Privilege: Personal belongings left in an unattended practice room will periodically be removed without advance notice and held in the Music Office. See Mrs. Beliveau about retrieving your confiscated personal belongings.

UCF 2010/11 Music Student Handbook 37 Appendix I Music Forum Information MUS 1010 All Sections; Zero Credit 2010/11 Goals and Objectives The goals of Music Forum are to: Expose students to an array of different types of musical styles, techniques, artists, and venues Showcase student and faculty talent through public performances Give music majors and minors an opportunity to appear in public Provide student contact with guest speakers and performers Grading This course is zero credit and is graded on a S (Satisfactory) or U (Unsatisfactory) basis. The basis of receiving a satisfactory grade is to attend a minimum of twelve (12) performances of the Thursday noon Faculty Forum Series, or approved substitutes. To fulfill this requirement a student may attend Forum Thursday from 12:00 to 1:15 PM, attend campus recitals and concerts at other times, or attend public performances off campus (see below). Additionally, the student must return, renew or vacate all Music Department equipment as required by the posted deadline at the end of each semester. This includes university owned instruments, practice room keys, instrument storage lockers, etc. Any student who fails to satisfy this requirement by the end of the semester will receive an I for Forum. If after thirty (30) days the equipment is still not returned, renewed, or vacated, the I will convert to a U. Forum Forgiveness Students who receive a U in MUS 1010 because of insufficient Forum attendance may have the U changed to an S by attending extra approved Forum events during the semester following the semester in which the student received a U. This process is known as Forum Forgiveness and is subject to the following conditions: 1. A student petitions for Forum Forgiveness by submitting a request to Mrs. Beliveau no later than the last day of class of the subsequent semester, listing the events the student wishes to submit for Forum Forgiveness. It is the student s responsibility to determine how many events are needed for Forum Forgiveness and to attend qualifying events. 2. An event cannot be used for Forum Forgiveness credit and Forum credit in the current semester, i.e., no double dipping. 3. All Forum Forgiveness events must be completed and petition made within the university window for grade changes; i.e., no later than the end of the subsequent semester. 4. Forum Forgiveness may not be used to change a MUS 1010 grade of U given because of failure to turn in or vacate university equipment.

UCF 2010/11 Music Student Handbook 39 Students should keep individual logs of Forum attendance throughout the semester to help you monitor attendance. Approximately two weeks before the end of the semester, a list of students and their Forum credits will be available. Contact Ms. Beliveau in the Music Office with any questions about the status of your Forum credits. Why won t a student receive Forum credit? Tuesday student forums are an applied studio requirement and will not count for MUS 1010 credit unless the performance is clearly identified as a Faculty Forum Event. The student does not hand in a Forum card at the end of a Forum. Forum cards turned in late will not be accepted. The student arrives at Forum after the performance has begun or leaves before the performance is completed. The student must attend the entire performance to receive Forum credit. The student turns in programs/tickets for off-campus performances on which the name is not legible. A signed program for an off-campus performance is not turned in within two weeks of the performance. The performance is not approved for Forum credit. (see examples) The student fails to turn in Music Department equipment as required (university instruments, practice room keys, instrument locker cleanout, etc.)

UCF 2010/11 Music Student Handbook 38 5. A student may use Forum Forgiveness only once to change a MUS 1010 grade from U to S. What constitutes a Faculty Forum Series performance? Performances and presentations given at the 12:00 Thursday Forum, or Tuesday 12:00 performance designated as faculty Forum Series events. Approved substitutes may be used for make-ups for Faculty Forum Series events. Examples of approved substitutes include: o Music Department sponsored performances on campus presented by faculty-artists or guest artists. o Off-campus performances by UCF music faculty. o Other approved off-campus performances (see examples of approved and nonapproved performances). o Faculty Forum Series performances are indicated in bold type on the Music Department s calendar. Examples of off-campus performances approved for Forum credit Professional jazz, solo, chamber music, orchestra, chorale, band, or opera. Musical theatre performances. Public performances at other colleges and universities. High school band, jazz, orchestra, choir, or musical theatre performances. Examples of events not approved for Forum credit Tuesday noon student performances at area recitals Ensemble performances in which the student is a performer (exception: UCF Honors Forum). Athletic events. Church services. Off-campus performances in which there is no printed program. Any event not sponsored by the UCF Music Department where live musical performance is not a primary function of the event. Contact Mrs. Beliveau before attending the event if you want Forum credit but are uncertain whether a particular off-campus event will count for Forum. Recording Music Forum Credit Forum credit is recorded by the Music Office for students whose names appear on the Thursday Honors Forum programs. Forum credit is recorded by the Music Office for students who turn in a completed Forum card to the usher at the conclusion of Faculty Forum Series events. Students who turn in programs from off-campus events and/or tickets must write their names on the program and/or ticket when they turn it in for credit. Programs for off-campus performances must be signed and submitted to Ms. Beliveau in the Music Office no later than two weeks after the performance.
