During summer orientation, all Freshmen music pre-register for fall classes with a School of the Performing Arts representative.

Traditionally, students register for the following classes in the first quarter:

MUAP 111 Class Piano
MUTH 100 Rudiments of Music Theory
MUPV 2XX Private Instruction (Flute, Clarinet, etc.)
MUEN 2XX Music Ensemble (generally marching band)
University Seminar
The Music Theory Placement Exam (generally offered during fee payment before classes begin)
One or two general education classes.

For all remaining quarters, ALL students must pre-register with Dr. Westbrook during the advising period. Students may sign up for a time on their advisor's door. Students should attend advising with the following:

A registration form
A racing form
Pen/Pencil
A tentative schedule with courses selected or highlighted.

Most music courses follow a sequence, once passed the student moves on to the next one in the sequence (i.e., MUTH 100, MUTH 101, then MUTH 102). Therefore, students should be able to identify the next courses in their music sequence.

Some students may need to take developmental coursework due to their ACT/SAT scores. These courses must be taken before OTHER general education coursework is attempted.

Students register for 200 level Applied Instruction (MUPV) until they pass their Upper Division Examination (Double Jury), then they register for 400 level Applied Instruction.

Students register for 200 level Ensemble (MUEN) until they have enough hours to register for 400 level Ensemble.
