A NOTE ABOUT ADVISING AND THE ADVISEMENT GUIDE
Concerned and insightful undergraduate advising is one of the most important services the
university provides the student. While this guide is not designed to teach about advising, it may be
useful in helping students and advisors alike to make decisions that will help students in attaining
and maintaining academic success, as well as make progress towards degree and career goals. This
advisement guide is to be used as a supplement to official publications of Edinboro University such
as the Undergraduate Catalogue. The Guide contains policies, procedures and services that affect
both students and their advisors in academic decision making. Additionally, the Guide provides
answers to questions that frequently are asked when the advisor is busiest.
The Guide is divided into five sections:
1. Advisee and Advisor Roles and Responsibilities
2. A Selection of Academic Policies and Information
3. General Education
4. Departmental Materials
5. Services Available to Students

ADVISEE AND ADVISOR
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
1
ADVISEE AND ADVISOR ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
ADVISING MEETINGS
Your advisor is regularly available during posted office hours throughout your academic career
at Edinboro. Consultation with your advisor is suggested for any or all of the following tasks or
issues:
• pre-scheduling advisement
• dropping, adding, or withdrawing from any classes
• changing class sections
• pick up and discussion of midterm grades
• changing your major
• declaring a minor
• discussing any report of unsatisfactory academic work
• discussing withdrawal from the University
• receiving referrals for personal, social adjustment, or academic problems
• career planning
• consideration of an internship
• consideration of graduate study
THE ADVISEE’S PRIVACY PRIVILEGES
Information about a student, however insignificant it may seem, should not be given to anyone
other than appropriate members of the University faculty and staff without written permission of
the student.
All grades, records, and reports are to be handled as confidential information in order to protect
the interests and right to privacy of the student. This includes requests for information from
outside agencies, government investigators, etc. These people should be directed to the Office
of Records and Registration.
Information concerning an advisee should not be given over the telephone since it is not possible
to positively identify the caller. Students telephoning about their own grades or other
information, should be informed that they will receive the information they need by mail from
the appropriate office, or they may appear in person for the information.
While discussion between staff members concerning individual students is appropriate, it should
never be done in the presence of persons other than appropriate University staff. Discretion and
concern for the student’s right of privacy should dictate the circumstances of the sharing of
information. Advisors who are in doubt about proper procedures should consult the Coordinator
of Records (x5555).

3
ADVISEE’S RESPONSIBILITIES (continued)
•
•
•
•
•
to be familiar with General Education and major degree requirements in order to
participate meaningfully in the advisement process
to keep the advisor informed of all decisions and changes made which may affect
academic progress
to maintain personal copies of all official records pertaining to the advisee’s
academic progress including grade slips, change of schedule forms, etc.
to obtain the advisors' written approval of a schedule of classes
to obtain the advisors' written approval of all adjustments to completed class
schedules such as drop/adds and withdrawal from a course or courses
PRE-SCHEDULING ON THE WEB
All pre-scheduling will be conducted on S.C.O.T.S. The S.C.O.T.S. system is available 7
days a week/24 hours a day (except for maintenance 3-4 a.m.).
The Scheduling Office can provide information if you encounter difficulty with the system. For
your convenience, please use S.C.O.T.S. on the Internet to pre-schedule for your Fall, Spring,
and Summer courses.
PLANNING AND OBTAINING YOUR SCHEDULE
1. For the FALL, SPRING, and SUMMER sessions, select the course(s) you need from
the class schedule on S.C.O.T.S. or from the scheduling booklet.
2. Check your registration status on S.C.O.T.S. several days before pre-scheduling. If
there are any holds on your record preventing registration, you must clear them.
Offices are not open on Saturday or Sunday to remove holds from your record.
3. Each student will meet with his/her academic advisor prior to the day assigned for
pre-scheduling classes. During this meeting, develop your proposed schedule for the
upcoming semester. After you and your advisor have agreed upon the courses you
may take, obtain the Alternate PIN Number from your advisor. You must have this
Alternate PIN to pre-schedule using S.C.O.T.S. The Alternate PIN is the equivalent
to an advisor's signature. Obtaining the Alternate PIN verifies the undergraduate
student has received sufficient advice to schedule for the next academic term. For
these reasons, only your advisor or department chairperson can provide the Alternate
PIN. Please note that the Alternate PIN is different from the PIN needed to login to
S.C.O.T.S. The student determines the PIN – the University determines the Alternate
PIN.
4
Please be sure to record your Alternate PIN. You must use it when making schedule
adjustments through the ADD period of the semester.
4. As schedules are built, courses become full and are closed. Accordingly, it is
important for you to select alternate courses that will fit into your program. An
approved list of alternate courses will assist you in obtaining a satisfactory schedule
with a minimum of delay. Alternate course selection is critical for the student who
has earned only a few credits – especially freshmen.
5. Use the S.C.O.T.S. Internet System to pre-schedule on your assigned day.
(Instructions for using the S.C.O.T.S. System can be found in the "Undergraduate
and Graduate Schedule of Classes" booklet. To schedule students fairly and to
ensure you are scheduled promptly, there can be no exceptions to this schedule.
6. DO NOT MISS CLASS TO PRE-SCHEDULE. The S.C.O.T.S. system is
available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day except during periods of maintenance (34:00 AM).
7. To finalize or secure your registration for the class schedule you create during prescheduling, you must complete your financial arrangements by the deadline shown
on the invoice you receive from the Bursar's Office. Failure to do so will result in
loss of your class schedule.
ADVANCED AND DEVELOPMENTAL COURSE PLACEMENT
English Composition Courses
The ENGL101 and ENGL102 (or 103/104) sequence fulfills a portion of the General Education
Skills requirement that the student must complete prior to attaining junior standing. No one will
be exempted from this requirement. ENGL101 and ENGL102 are required courses, except in
the following circumstances:
1. ENGL010 (Basic Writing Skills) is a first semester requirement for students scoring
below an established cut-off score that is based on McGraw-Hill Writing Test results,
SAT-Verbal, and high school rank. Once the student successfully completes ENGL010,
they need to begin the ENGL101/102 sequence.
2. Students with superior placement results will be registered first semester in ENGL103
(Advanced College Writing Skills). If not completed with a passing grade, students may
not enroll in ENGL104 (Advanced Specialized Writing and Research Skills), the second
course in the ENGL103/ENGL104 sequence; re-registration for ES103 is recommended
for the next semester.
5
Developmental Reading Courses
The Department of Elementary Education offers three developmental courses: ELED010 (Adult
Basic Reading Skills), ELED102 (College Reading and Study Skills), and ELED103 (Adult
Organizational and Study Skills). In most cases, students placed in these courses have scored
below a cut-off score, indicating the need for developmental instruction. The cut-off score is
based on a combination of three factors: Nelson Denny Reading Test results, SAT-Verbal, and
high school rank.
Students who are placed in one of these courses should aim to successfully complete the course
during their first semester. If this does not occur, re-scheduling in the reading placement course
for the student's second semester is necessary. Students failing to comply may not attain
sophomore level standing.
ELED010 does not satisfy graduation requirements. ELED102 and ELED103 do not satisfy
general education requirements but may be used as free electives.
Developmental Mathematics Courses
MATH010 (Basic Mathematical Skills) and/or MATH020 (Basic Algebra) may be required
during the first year for students scoring below established cut-off scores on a math placement
test. If not successfully completed, students may not advance to MA104 (Finite Mathematics)
or any other math course(s) required by their major.
Neither MATH010 nor MATH020 satisfy graduation requirements because they are precollege in their orientation.
MATH110 (Mathematical Reasoning) and MATH210 (Mathematical Reasoning II) are
recommended for education majors. MATH110 fulfills Part A (skills area) of the General
Education portion of the curriculum, and MATH210 fulfills the second math requirement for
education majors.

A SELECTION OF ACADEMIC POLICIES AND INFORMATION
Academic Load
Full Time Status
To remain a full-time student, one must carry a minimum of 12 credits per semester.
Class Standing
The following table defines class standing:
Freshman
Sophomore
Junior
Senior
0-29
30-59
60-89
90-120
Academic Probation and Suspension
Freshmen with a QPA lower than 1.0 at the end of their first semester will normally be
suspended without probation. Any other student who does not meet the minimum QPA,
based upon attempted hours prescribed in the table appearing below, will be placed on
probation; failure to demonstrate satisfactory progress will result in suspension the
following semester.
Attempted Hours at Edinboro
Minimum QPA
(plus accepted transfer credits from another college)
0-15 credit hours
16-30 credit hours
31-60 credit hours
61+ credit hours
1.50 QPA
1.67 QPA
1.85 QPA
2.00 QPA
* 1st semesterlower than
1.00 results in
suspension
Transfer student progress is determined by adding hours accepted for transfer to hours
attempted at Edinboro University to establish total number of hours, and then applying
the cumulative QPA to this total. The cumulative QPA for transfer students is computed
using only hours attempted and earned at Edinboro University.
Students cannot make up failed work at another institution to improve QPA at Edinboro
University. Students readmitted from suspension may be suspended again if they do not
demonstrate satisfactory academic progress. Normally students will not be readmitted
after a second suspension.
8
Repeating Courses
Students may repeat any courses for which a D, F, U, W, Y, or Z grade is received. The qualitypoints for the highest grade will be used for computing quality-point average, but the original
grade will not be erased from the student's permanent record. It is recommended that no course
be repeated more than once. The number of repeat attempts that may be presented for
graduation credit or for use to improve the quality-point average of a student will be limited to
six; however, no more than four of these may be repeated during the regular academic year.
Students will have the option of requesting a different instructor for the repeat course whenever
possible. Exception to the above policy, when it serves the best interests of both the students
and the University, will be possible only with the approval of: (1) the department in which the
student is majoring (see Music Department policies); (2) the department offering the course; and
(3) the dean administering the curriculum in which the student is majoring.
Music majors and all other university students may repeat all music courses (with the exception
of music ensembles) only one time. Students may meet with the music department chair to
request permission to repeat a course for a third time.
Plagiarism
Plagiarism may be defined as the act of taking the ideas and/or expression of ideas of another
person and representing them as one's own. It is nothing less than an act of theft and, as such, is
subject to University disciplinary action. The penalty for plagiarism may include a failing grade
for the assignment in question and/or a failing grade for the course.
Plagiarism can take several forms. The most obvious form, and the one with which most
students are familiar, involves word-for-word copying from another source without proper
acknowledgment. Anytime a source, or portion of a source, is copied verbatim in a paper, it
must be credited to the source either in the body of the paper or in the end notes and must be
bracketed by quotation marks.
Paraphrasing the structure and/or language of a source without proper acknowledgment is a
second form of plagiarism. Some students falsely believe that by simply changing a few words,
omitting a sentence or two, or changing the word order or sentence structure of a source, they
have made themselves invulnerable to charges of plagiarism. This is absolutely untrue. Such
minor changes do not mask the fact that the basic ideas of the source have been stolen and
claimed as one's own work.
A third form of plagiarism involves writing a theme that is based solely on the ideas of another
person. While the structure and/or language used may be different from that of the original
source, the fact remains that the basic ideas have been taken, without appropriate
acknowledgment, and cited as evidence as one's own thinking.
9
It should be noted that plagiarism also extends to areas outside of the written arts. Because
plagiarism involves the misrepresentation of another's ideas as one's own, it can also occur in
fields such as art, music, and cinema and also in the sciences. For example, a student is guilty of
plagiarism if he or she steals an image from some form of artwork he or she has seen. Similarly,
the unacknowledged use of scientific research data or results constitutes an act of plagiarism,
and in the field of computer science, a student commits plagiarism if he or she copies a
computer program developed by another individual.
Clearly, plagiarism defeats the central purpose of education, namely to enable one to think and
formulate one's own ideas. The student who has doubts about whether or not his/her work may
constitute plagiarism should consult with the course instructor prior to submitting the work. The
instructor can provide clear guidance on how the student can avoid committing the act of
academic misconduct. The web site for the anti-plagiarism handbook is:
http://www.edinboro.edu/~warren/antiplagiarismhandbook.htm

10
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS -- ACADEMIC POLICIES
WANT TO CHANGE YOUR ADVISOR AND DON’T KNOW HOW TO GO
ABOUT IT?
If you wish to change your faculty advisor, you can do so by completing an Under-graduate
Advisor Change Application form. The forms are available in the Office of Records and
Registration (Hamilton Hall). It does not require a signature from your present faculty advisor
nor is there a processing fee. When the Office of Records and Registration has processed your
paperwork, they will notify you by mail that the change has been made and list the name of your
newly assigned faculty advisor. Your new advisor will be informed of the change as well.
WHEN MAY I ADD A COURSE TO MY SCHEDULE? WHEN MAY I DROP A
COURSE?
If you wish to drop or add a course, you should use the S.C.O.T.S. system for schedule
adjustments. You may add a course to your schedule during the “Add” period. During a regular
academic semester, no class may be added after the third class meeting for classes scheduled
Monday/Wednesday/ Friday, and after the second class meeting for courses scheduled on
Tuesday/Thursday. During the summer, no class may be added after the second meeting of the
class. Classes that start on irregular dates during the regular academic semester, may be added
up to the day the class begins.
During the first three weeks of a semester, or the equivalent period in a summer session, you
may drop courses from your schedule via the S.C.O.T.S. system. Courses dropped during this
period will not be entered on your academic record.
UNDER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES CAN I WITHDRAW FROM A COURSE AFTER
THE DEADLINE TO DROP A COURSE?
Circumstances that require you to withdraw from a course will vary. If you’ve made the
decision to withdraw from a course after the deadline to drop a course, contact your faculty
advisor to discuss the situation. The advisor will provide you with a Change of Schedule form
and his/her signature of approval (if appropriate). See the Department Chairperson if you are
unable to meet with your advisor. If the signed Change of Schedule form is submitted to the
Scheduling Office (Hamilton Hall) between the beginning of the fourth week and the end of the
tenth week of a semester or the equivalent period in a summer session, the withdrawal will be
approved, and the course will appear on your academic record with the grade of W
(withdrawal). A fee of $25 will be billed for each withdrawn course.
After the tenth week, or the equivalent period in a summer session, withdrawal from a course
will be permitted only for extenuating circumstances. Approval for such withdrawal must be
obtained, in sequence, from your faculty advisor, the Department Chairperson, and the Dean of
your school (i.e., Liberal Arts). A grade of Y (withdrawal passing) or Z (withdrawal failing)
will be recorded on your academic record.
11
WHAT ARE MID-TERM GRADES?
Mid-term grades reflect the student's standing in the class at the mid-point of the academic
semester. For example, a specific class may require several exams, quizzes, and a paper. The
time at which the professor submits the mid-term grade may only reflect one quiz and one exam.
Low grades may provide an early warning sign that improvement is necessary while high grades
may encourage continued effort. Mid-term grades are not mailed to the student or their parents.
Mid-term grades are available via the S.C.O.T.S. system or from your academic advisor.
WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY FINAL GRADES FOR THE SEMESTER?
Approximately one week after the completion of the semester, final grades for each of your
courses will be mailed to you at your permanent address.
IF I REGISTER FOR A COURSE, THEN DECIDE NOT TO TAKE IT, CAN I DROP IT
BY SIMPLY NOT GOING TO THE CLASS?
No. Any student who fails to attend a class for which he/she is officially registered is expected
to take the appropriate action to officially drop or withdraw from the course. If you fail to take
the appropriate action by the published deadlines, you may: lose refunds, lose financial aid
including Stafford Loans, receive failing grades, and you will be charged the balance of your
tuition and fees. If there is any question as to what courses are on your official schedule, it is
your responsibility to contact the Office of Records and Registration (Hamilton Hall) for this
information in a timely fashion.
WHEN IS IT WISE TO REPEAT A COURSE AND HOW DO I DO IT?
You may repeat any course for which a D,F,U,W,Y, or Z grade is received. The quality points
for the highest grade will be used for computing your quality-point average, but the original
grade will not be erased from your permanent record.
When repeating a course, consideration should always be given to the following policy: “The
number of repeat attempts that may be presented for graduation credit or for use to improve the
quality point average (QPA) of a student will be limited to six; however, no more than four of
these may be repeated during the regular academic year.” Exceptions to the above policy will
be possible only with the approval of: 1) the department in which you’re majoring; 2) the
department offering the course; and 3) the dean administering the curriculum in which you’re
majoring.
To repeat a course, consult your faculty advisor and include the repeat course as a selection on
the course request form during the pre-scheduling/registration periods established by the
University.
Care must also be taken by students receiving financial aid. Repeating of 'D' grades will not be
included as part of the number of earned credits in a grading period to remain eligible for
financial aid. Consultation with a Financial Aid Counselor (McNerney-x2821) before seeing
your academic advisor is strongly recommended.
12
MAY I TAKE A COURSE ON A PASS/FAIL BASIS?
The satisfactory/unsatisfactory option will be open to you if you are an undergraduate student
who at the beginning of the semester is in good academic standing and has more than thirty-one
(31) earned semester hours.
If you wish to exercise the S/U option you must do so during the ADD period or during the first
two days of the summer session. You must complete a Student Request for Satisfactory/
Unsatisfactory Grade form and take it to the Office of Records and Registration (Hamilton
Hall). After optioning for a S/U in a course, you may NOT reverse the option and elect to take
a regular letter grade in the course.
You will receive a final grade of S (satisfactory) for C or better work or a U (unsatisfactory) for
D or F work for a course taken under the S/U standard. A course for which a satisfactory grade
is earned may count toward graduation. The satisfactory/unsatisfactory option can be used in no
more than four courses totaling no more than fifteen semester hours, excluding student teaching.
The S/U option is not applicable for any course required for your major with the exception of
student teaching.
AM I PERMITTED TO TAKE COURSES AT A DIFFERENT COLLEGE OR
UNIVERSITY DURING THE SUMMER AND THEN TRANSFER THAT CREDIT
BACK TO EDINBORO UNIVERSITY?
If you are in good academic standing you may take courses at other institutions for transfer to
your program at Edinboro University. A Transfer Credit Authorization form must be
obtained from the Office of Records and Registration (Hamilton Hall). As a General Studies
student, the form must be completed in sequence by your advisor, the General Studies
Coordinator and the Dean of University College before taking such a course.
Credit to meet the degree requirements for a particular program will not be given for: 1)
courses which are not equivalent to those required or approved in the curricula offered at
Edinboro and 2) courses completed at other colleges or universities in which grades below C
were earned. Courses from accredited institutions that are designed as transferable may or may
not be counted as part of the requirements for graduation.
If you are out of college because of academic or disciplinary action, transfer credit will not be
granted for coursework pursued at another institution.
HOW MANY CREDIT HOURS MUST I ENROLL FOR IF I AM RECEIVING
FINANCIAL AID OR AM ELIGIBLE FOR WORK STUDY?
You are required to be enrolled at least half-time (6 credits per semester) in a degree or
certificate program in order to be considered for Federal Title IV student aid including Pell and
supplemental grants, Perkins and Stafford loans, and college work-study programs.
The Federal College Work-Study Program (CWSP) is designed to provide jobs for
undergraduate and graduate students provided financial need is demonstrated. It is the policy of
13
the financial aid office to provide "second chance" job placement opportunities for those
students who lose their eligibility for academic reasons under federal work study. These second
opportunities are provided through university dollars.
Additionally, students receiving Federal Title IV student aid must demonstrate satisfactory
academic progress. Satisfactory academic progress is defined for full-time undergraduate
students as 12 new credits per semester. Part-time students must attempt and earn at least 6
credits of new coursework each term to meet progress requirements. Also, students wishing to
retain federal aid are required to demonstrate satisfactory academic progress by earning a
cumulative QPA no lower than the University Policy regarding probation or suspension.
Contact the Financial Aid Office (Hamilton Hall-732-5555, extension 474) for additional
information and clarification as needed.
WHERE CAN I GO FOR HELP IF I AM NOT DOING WELL ACADEMICALLY?
If you're not performing well academically you need to carefully consider the reason(s) why.
Some students perform poorly in their courses because they are not adequately prepared to
perform college level work. Students in this category should consult with their advisor and
perhaps an academic counselor to discuss the possibility of taking developmental or remedial
courses. Some students may be adequately prepared, but time constraints are so serious that
there isn't enough time to get everything done during a semester. The Department of Academic
Support Services (McNerney Hall-732-2218) offers academic assistance through individual or
group counseling sessions. In addition, staff members can provide printed materials, referrals,
and seminars/workshops on enhancing and developing study skills to improve academic
performance.
Qualified peer tutors are available during the week through the campus-wide peer tutoring
program to help students gain clarification of ideas not understood in class or through text
reading, and to offer suggestions for developing and improving study skills.
Additionally, faculty and administrators from various disciplines volunteer throughout the week
to help students that have special tutoring needs which cannot be met by the tutors. Contact the
Tutoring Coordinator (McNerney Hall -732-2223) for additional information.
If you're having trouble with academic work because of poor social and emotional adjustment to
campus life and/or other problems of a personal nature, you are advised to contact a counselor in
the Counseling and Personal Development Center (McNerney Hall-732-2252) or speak with
someone in the Enrollment Management and Retention Office (Hamilton Hall -732-5555,
extension 473) to resolve conflicts which are impeding your academic performance.
WHAT IF I HAVE A QUESTION WHICH WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS SECTION?
For academic questions, begin by asking your advisor, one of your professors and/or the General
Studies Coordinator. The information desk in the University Center and Residence Hall
Coordinators may also be excellent information sources who can point you in the right direction.
Remember, THERE ARE NO STUPID QUESTIONS (except for those which go unasked).

GENERAL EDUCATION
15
GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS
All students earning an undergraduate degree at Edinboro University must complete General
Education requirements as outlined below. It is especially important for students to understand
these General Education requirements and their relationship to the courses required in academic
majors or required as related courses. It is critical that students work closely with advisors to
ensure that courses selected for General Education appropriately match other degree
requirements.
The General Education component of the undergraduate curriculum is the unique contribution to
the education of its students by an institution. It is that part of the under-graduate experience
that crosses all boundaries; it is that which unifies otherwise distinct constituencies within the
institution.
GENERAL EDUCATION GOALS
1. To provide a broad base of knowledge.
2. To provide a basic understanding of the traditions underlying
Western and non-western civilizations.
3. To stimulate imagination and creative thinking through art,
music, drama, and literature.
4. To provide philosophical and practical foundations for ethical,
social, and civic decision making.
5. To provide knowledge of natural, behavioral, and social
sciences.
6. To develop communication skills.
7. To develop analytical thinking skills.
8. To develop a sense of self and of community.
9. To develop an awareness of healthy lifestyles.
10. To develop mathematical, computer, and quantitative skills.

MUSIC AND MUSIC EDUCATION
The following is a statement of the current policies of the Department of Music of Edinboro
University of Pennsylvania as of May 2006, and supercedes any earlier policy statements.
Introduction
The Department of Music at Edinboro University is committed to providing the best possible
musical education and musical experiences for all students. As such the department has adopted
the following mission statement.
Mission Statement
The Music Department’s mission is to promote the art of music in the University and the
surrounding communities through education and live musical performances.
Goals
1. Foster each music student’s artistic potential.
2. Promote and enhance the cultural, professional, and personal growth of music
students and faculty.
3. Advocate for the resources and facilities necessary to accomplish the mission, goals
and objectives of the Music Department.
4. Advocate for music education both inside and outside the community.
5. Expose as many university students as possible to the art of music.
6. Identify and respond to musical needs in the community.
7. Provide a learning environment where all – regardless of age, race, sexual
orientation, physical and learning disabilities, religion, or political views – feel
welcome.
8. Provide a program for all music students that develops their musicianship,
performance, and knowledge of music to the highest level possible.
9. Provide a program for music students that prepares them for a successful career
in music.
26
Because music is a performance based as well as an academically based major, and because
skills leading to satisfactory performance require consistent practice, the Department of Music
of Edinboro University has adopted the following policies regulating course work and musical
activity for its majors.
Admission
• Admission into the Department of Music will be on the basis of an audition. A
committee made up of at least three music faculty members, one of whom will be the
applied teacher of the auditioned instrument(s), will hear the audition. The audition may
also consist of other tests deemed appropriate by the Music Department, including, but
not limited to, ear training, sight reading, and pitch and rhythm memory tests.
•
All potential incoming music students, with or without a degree, as transfer students or
as certification students will be required to complete a successful audition before being
admitted into the music program.
•
Each audition area will have specific guidelines for audition preparation, which will
remain on file in the department office and will be communicated to prospective students
in that area.
•
Admission into the Department of Music shall have no bearing on admission into the
University as a whole. Students may be admitted into the University without being
admitted into the Music Department, but no student will be admitted into the Music
Department without being admitted into the University.
Applied Instruction/Major Instrument
(Applied music and jury policies represented here are only departmental minimums. Each
studio instructor will set his/her own policies which may be more stringent)
•
Each student will declare one major instrument upon admission, and will concentrate
exclusively on that instrument for at least the first four semesters. If a student wishes to
change major instruments he or she must audition on the new instrument before a threeperson committee as outlined above.
•
A student may study a secondary instrument only after successful completion of the
Fourth Semester Evaluation (see below), and only with the permission of the instructor
of the secondary instrument and the instructor of the major instrument. This policy does
not include the private study of piano.
27
•
Each student must enroll in at least one credit hour of applied instruction on his/her
major instrument each semester he/she is enrolled as a full time student, with the
exception of the student teaching semester when applied music may be taken only with
the approval of the student teaching office. No student may take more than 2 semester
hours of applied music in a semester without the approval of the department chair.
•
Transfer students must complete a minimum of 2 semesters of applied study at Edinboro
University on their major instrument regardless of the number of credits earned at other
institutions.
•
Students holding a bachelor's degree in music (from Edinboro or another university) will
not be required to take ensemble or applied lessons at Edinboro while earning their
music teacher certification.
•
The applied music sequence should culminate in MUSC 431 for those enrolled as
BAMU students, and MUSC 430 for those enrolled as BAMU/TC students. The required
sequence is MUSC 130, 131, 230, 231, 330, 331, 430, (431). Students must take applied
courses on their primary instrument in this sequence, and may not take more than two
applied courses per semester without the consent of their applied instructor and the
department chair. Applied instructors are under no obligation to permit students to take
more than one lesson per week per semester even under unusual circumstances.
Jury Examinations
• A performance jury will be required of each music major on his/her primary instrument
at the end of each semester of study before a jury of at least two members of the music
faculty. Each studio has its own particular requirements, and those requirements will be
kept on file in the department office. It is understood that underclass semester juries will
be constructed and performed so as to help with the Fourth Semester Evaluation.
Fourth Semester Evaluation
After a minimum of four semesters of study, each student will be evaluated as follows:
•
The Fourth Semester Evaluation will take place near the end of the appropriate
semester, at a time announced in advanced.
•
Before a student may take the Fourth Semester Evaluation, he or she must have
completed MUSC 104 Aural Skills I; MUSC 121 Theory I; MUSC 103 Introduction to
Music (for Majors); MUSC 136,137 Piano Labs I and II; MUSC 204 Aural Skills II; three
hours of ensemble; and three hours of applied music on his or her major instrument.
28
•
Each student who is being evaluated will:
1. Submit a transcript of all course work up to the present time one week before the
evaluation. Advisors will automatically receive a copy of the transcript at midterm
of the evaluation semester.
2. Submit a completed student self-evaluation one week before the evaluation.
Copies will be available in the department office. All responses must be typewritten.
3. Prepare for the performance part of the exam. Choose music to perform in
consultation with the applied teacher. Practice major and all types of minor
scales. Practice sight-playing unfamiliar music in tempo.
4. Compile portfolio items which faculty may review at their leisure. This may
include programs of recitals on which the student has performed, video or
audio tapes of solo performances, reports of successful private teaching, letters of
recommendation from music professionals, etc.
•
The Evaluation will consist of four parts:
1. Performance on the major instrument. Each student will play six minutes
prepared music, and will be prepared to perform all major and harmonic and
melodic minor scales as appropriate for his/her instrument. Students will also
be expected to sight-play on their major instrument with up to one minute
preparation time. Singers will use solfege on all scales and sight singing. The
singer may play the triad of the key before beginning.
2. Department faculty evaluation of the student's history of performance in class
an ensembles. Evaluation checklists (academic, general musicianship) will be
distributed to faculty before exam time.
3. Written student self-evaluation. The self-evaluation will be completed one week
before the actual evaluation, and distributed to faculty.
4. Interview. Each student will have a short interview with a panel consisting of,
but not limited to, the applied teacher, the principal music education faculty
member, ensemble directors with whom the student has worked, and the
department chair. It is hoped that all faculty will participate in the interview;
part time faculty are specifically included.
•
Summary: Faculty recommendation for continuation in the music program will be
based on the student's grades; attitude and demonstrated skills in ensembles
and course work; progress on the major instrument as demonstrated in the
playing portion of the exam.
•
If a student is judged as not demonstrating the requisite skills and academic
progress, he/she will not be permitted to enroll in applied music at the 300 level.
In addition, the student will be counseled as to the advisability of remaining in
the program.
29
•
Copies of all the forms used in the Fourth Semester Evaluation will be kept on file
in the department office and students may have access to them.
Ensembles
• Each student must enroll in an ensemble on his/her major instrument each semester
he/she is enrolled as a full-time student with the exception of the student teaching
semester, and teacher certification candidates. Wind and percussion students in the
BAMU/TC program must be in Symphonic Wind Ensemble, and vocal students in the
BAMU/TC program must be in a vocal ensemble until the student teaching semester.
String students in the BAMU/TC program must be in University Orchestra each
semester until the student teaching semester.
•
Transfer and teacher certification students will be dealt with on an individual basis.
Their ensemble requirements will be determined by a committee made up of the
student’s advisor, two other members of the department (appointed by the department
chair), and the department chair.
Recitals
• All students are expected to attend afternoon recitals. Precise requirements are set forth
in the syllabus of each applied studio. Attendance will be taken at all recitals, and a list
will be posted.
•
Each student is expected to perform in an afternoon recital each semester beginning as a
2nd semester freshman. This requirement may be waived at the discretion of the applied
teacher. A sign-up list will be available for each semester, and a list will be posted of
recital performers.
•
A senior recital of at least 30 minutes of music will be given in the senior year on the
student’s primary instrument on the campus of Edinboro University.
•
The recital will consist of a half hour of music that has been approved by the applied
teacher.
•
The student must play a recital pre-hearing at least three weeks before the scheduled
recital.
a. The hearing must be played before a committee of THREE faculty:
the applied teacher of the student and two other applied faculty.
Any other applied faculty in the same area must be on the committee
(i.e., all brass applied faculty will hear any brass recital audition).
b. The student must be ready to play all the planned music for the
committee. This includes pieces with an accompanist or other
assisting musicians. The committee will choose from the student's
full program at the pre-hearing. It is suggested that all pieces be
played, at least partially, to ensure comprehensive preparation.
c. The student's typed program will be presented to the committee at
the recital pre-hearing in recital format including composers' names,
dates, and pieces with all the movements given. This information
30
will then be given to the department secretary upon approval of the
committee. Check student departmental programs for format.
d. If all the music is not deemed ready for performance by the
committee at the pre-hearing, the recital will be postponed.
•
A Recital Approval form is available in the department office, and must be
given to the department secretary along with the program information
as soon as the pre-hearing is passed.
•
The student is responsible for checking with the department secretary for
program duplication and pick up. In addition, the recital hall should be
returned to its normal configuration when the recital is finished (i.e., blowers
turned back on, extra chairs and stands put away, percussion equipment
returned to it correct position, piano re-covered and locked, etc.).
BAMU/TC Requirements
• All University and Commonwealth requirements must be met in order to be
eligible for entrance into the teacher education program.
•
Students working towards a BAMU/TC degree must pass exams in the following areas
during the semester preceding MUED 495 (student teaching): (a) keyboard competency,
(b) primary instrument – includes sight reading, (c) secondary instrument (techniques
classes), (d) sight-singing with no advanced preparation, and (e) conducting skills. The
exam in the area of the primary instrument is administered by the applied faculty
committee. Students who pass this exam will be able to perform at a level indicative of
four years of university study.
•
Student working towards a BAMU/TC degree must have completed MUSC 331 and be
qualified to take MUSC 430 before beginning MUED 495 (student teaching).
•
Students working towards a BAMU/TC degree whose primary instrument is keyboard or
guitar must pass an exam on a secondary instrument (preferably voice) before beginning
MUED 495 (student teaching). This exam will be at the same level as the sophomore
exam.
•
All students working towards a BAMU/TC degree must take at least one semester of
MUSC 051 (Marching Band). Instrumental BAMU/TC students must take at least one
semester of MUSC 054 (University Singers) or MUSC 068 (University Women's
Chorus). Students must complete the audition requirements for each ensemble before
being allowed to participate.
31
Miscellaneous
• Enrollment in MUSC 121 (Music Theory I) is contingent upon successful completion of
a placement examination or of MUSC 010 (Basic Musicianship).
•
All music students are expected to reserve TR 2:00-2:50 p.m. (common time) for music
department activities. Use of common time is reserved for studio classes except for
faculty meetings, recitals, or full department meetings.
•
Credit by examination will not be allowed for applied music, conducting, techniques
courses, music ensembles, or any other courses that are skill oriented rather than
knowledge based.
•
All voice majors are required to take MUSC 223 (Diction for Singers). This will be a
substitute for MUSC 113 (Class Voice), required of all other music education majors.
•
Each music major must demonstrate piano proficiency before graduation. This may be
accomplished by completing MUSC 137 (Piano Lab II), or by examination. This
requirement would normally be complete before the junior year.
•
Students are not permitted to use the department copier. Student employees must gain
access to the copier from the person for whom they are working.
•
Music majors and all other university students may repeat all music courses (with the
exception of music ensembles) only one time. Students may meet with the music
department chair to request permission to repeat a course for a third time.

Academic Assistance Program
Individual needs assessment and individualized academic counseling are
provided for returning students experiencing academic difficulty.
A professional counselor, graduate assistant, and undergraduate academic intervention mentors provide
assistance in the following areas: study skills, time management, test-taking, decision-making, goal setting,
memory techniques, note-taking, listening skills, management of stress, and other pertinent academic
survival skills.
Tutoring Services
Qualified tutors are available five days a week during the academic year through the campus-wide peer
tutoring program. Tutors aim to help students gain clarification of ideas not understood in class or through
text reading, and to offer suggestions for developing and improving study skills for specific classes.
Additionally, faculty and administrators from various disciplines volunteer time to tutor students.
Schedules for campus-wide peer tutoring and the faculty/administrator volunteer tutoring programs are
posted and distributed throughout the campus. Schedules are revised each semester.
Note: Other sources of assistance are available at Edinboro University. Many of these are identified on the
following pages.
