ACADEMIC YEAR
The academic year is composed of two semesters consisting of fifteen weeks each, for a total of thirty weeks of instructional time.
During this period, full-time undergraduate students are expected
to complete a minimum of twenty-four semester hours and full-time graduate
students are expected to complete a minimum of eighteen semester hours
in order to be eligible for Title IV HEA funds (Federal Student Financial Aid).

ACADEMIC
ADVISING
For advice on any matter relating to your musical education, feel
free to consult with the dean. For additional help with the Bachelor
of Music program, you may consult the chair of the liberal arts
department and other faculty. If you are in the Diploma program,
you may wish to consult the registrar. To schedule
appointments, please see the receptionist in the Main Building. Precollege (high school) students must meet with Mary Jean Hayden on a regular basis. She is also available for academic counseling for precollege students.
Each year you will be asked to make an appointment with the chair
of the liberal arts department and other faculty, or with the director
of student services, for advising before preregistering for the
next fall's classes.

ACADEMIC
HONESTY POLICY
You are expected to complete all assignments, tests, and papers with
the highest degree of integrity, and you are on your honor while
a student at Curtis. Infractions of the honor code are grounds for
dismissal.
The Institute considers plagiarism to
be any unacknowledged use of the ideas or language of others; plagiarism
may be grounds for dismissal. All critical sources should be cited
clearly in your work.

ATTENDANCE
POLICY
You are required to attend and be on time for all private lessons,
coachings, ensemble classes, academic classes, and opera and orchestra
rehearsals scheduled by Curtis.
In addition you must adhere to the attendance policies outlined
by your individual instructors for each of their classes. If late
you may be refused admittance, and credit for attendance when late
will be granted at the discretion of your teacher.
If you are unable to attend a private lesson, coaching, or ensemble
class because of illness or other circumstance, you must telephone
the registrar by 9 a.m. that day. Curtis reserves the right to request
a doctor's excuse for extended illnesses or after multiple absences.
Unauthorized absences from ensemble classes or orchestra rehearsals
may result in denial of a Release Request of any kind and a grade
of F for the semester. Excessive unexcused absences
from any class may be cause for dismissal.

TEST
MAKEUPS
If you need to make up a quiz or test, you must do so at the specified time (to be announced) in the test room listed on the daily room schedule. Your teacher will decide the latest date on which you can take the
makeup test. It is your responsibility to make sure that your teacher
makes the test available to the test-room proctor.
