Declaring your music or dance major

If your online transcript doesn't have your music or dance major correctly listed, your registration for courses could be affected. To fix this, please send me an e-mail asking for the correction. Be sure to include your EID# and the major you should have. I'll send a request to Records and I'll notify you when the change is made.

Graduation audit updates

At the beginning of your graduation semester, please contact the School of Music & Dance office to request a graduation audit update. Your record will be reviewed and a report with corrections will be sent to the Director of School of Music & Dance. Assuming the Director approves, he/she will send the report to Records to be processed.

Currently, we aren't allowed to request audit updates before the beginning of your last semester. As long as you have accounted for all of the courses you need, and you have approval for any substitutions, you are all set. Please direct specific questions or concerns to the School of Music & Dance office by e-mail:

Learning Beyond the Classroom

Here are details about Learning Beyond the Classroom requirements for music majors:

The requirement is two GELB categories. Music majors meet GELB categories as indicated by taking required music classes. Music classes marked "L3" are used by the system to give GELB credit for the recital attendance requirement. Music education students meet two categories with ensembles and student teaching. Performance majors meet "L3" with an ensemble or music history course, but must choose a second category [https://catalog.emich.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=25&poid=11914]. Wind/String/Percussion principals may opt to take marching band (L1); Keyboard principals will need to choose a second category; Voice principals use one of the two required World Languages courses (French or German) to meet L5, but the course may not also count toward GEKH. For voice principals in MUSC, students may wish to take a world languages course (not applied toward GEKH). Note that students may always opt to complete another category instead. By the way, I've included the writing intensive (GEWI) requirement, too.
