Application for Examination for Music Students

Examinations and recitals must be presented in one of the official final examination periods. See www.mcgill.ca/importantdates for Fall and Winter; Summer graduands see special procedures in the Special procedures for September Exams (Graduating Students Only) section below.

All students wishing to present a required practical examination should register for the exam on Minerva by the course drop/add deadline. Registrations after that date will be accepted with permission of the Department of Performance up to the deadlines stated below.

Upon registration, students are then responsible for:

  1. reviewing their Area's Examination Requirements and, in consultation with their assigned practical instructor, deciding on appropriate material to perform at the examination;
  2. completing the online Examination Application Form to submit the details pertinent to their examination level by the deadline specified below;
  3. completing the C&P Recital Program Submission Form if relevant to the level of their exam (i.e., if the exam is a public recital as per their Area's Examination Requirements).

Applications may be withdrawn without penalty any time up to the withdrawal deadline given below. Permission to withdraw from a practical examination after the withdrawal deadline will normally be granted only in the case of illness. A medical certificate must be submitted to the Department of Performance Office within seven days after the withdrawal request has been received. Withdrawal from a practical examination on other than medical grounds must be authorized by the Chair of the Department of Performance.
