No one will be permitted to register as a full-time student after the completion of the fifth day of classes for a given term. Any exception will be by petition to the dean of the arts school involved, in consultation with the dean of general studies. A student's status is officially determined on the basis of progress in the major arts area. Level designations are, therefore, based upon a combination of the number of arts course requirements which have been met and the level of artistic proficiency which has been achieved. Credit Definitions Students enrolled in high school programs receive credit in terms of standard high school units.
College credit is awarded in semester hours.
In general, courses are numbered such that the first digit reflects the level of the course, with the number one indicating an introductory level. A course with hyphens indicates a three-term course for which credit is not allowed until the three terms are completed. Courses with commas indicate the courses which are to be taken in sequence. It is the responsibility of the student to know the requirements for his or her particular program and, where specific general studies courses are required, to include these courses in the program. Individual program requirements are outlined in the appropriate sections of this Bulletin.
