- B.Mus. and L.Mus. students typically finalize the year’s registration before September’s after having received the placement test results, and/or a summary of transfer credits and ensemble placements following auditions in the first week of September. If you need to register full-time before mid-September, use the sample first-year course plan for your program as a guideline then make changes to course registration once you have received the ensemble placements and placement test results. Students have until Tuesday, September 10 to make changes to fall registration without incurring a course change fee penalty.
