Recital Attendance Requirement

 

Each undergraduate music major must attend a total of 80 recitals/concerts (events) during their time of undergraduate study; normally they will attend at least ten musical events each semester. It is the student’s responsibility to see that this requirement is successfully completed. Students who fail to meet this requirement will not be permitted to graduate. The number of events that transfer students and students seeking a second bachelor’s degree must attend will be pro-rated, based on the number of semesters of work remaining at the time of their matriculation.

Recital credit can be received for attendance at most Department of Music and Dance events. Examples of acceptable events include departmental ensemble concerts, student recitals, Thursday noon student recitals, and guest artist performances. Attendance at some non-departmental musical events may also be credited toward the recital attendance requirement. To obtain credit, students must bring a ticket stub and program to the Department of Music and Dance office. The department head will determine whether or not the event qualifies for recital credit. In all cases, masterclasses, lectures, and other non-performance events will not qualify for recital credit.

Recital credit cards will be available to students as they enter a departmental performance venue, and will be collected at the conclusion of an event. Students must be present for an entire event to receive credit. A student who is performing in an event may receive recital attendance credit for that event if they perform in less than 50 percent of the event.
