Policies:

1) All listening selections are from Architecture and Fine Arts Library; please plan your time accordingly. A lack of planning on your part does not necessarily constitute an emergency on the part of our non-existent library support staff.

2) Late work is not accepted.

3) Attendance is required at all classes. Should a class be missed, it is the student's responsibility to see that the lecture notes from the missed class are obtained from a classmate and any work assigned is completed by their return (a class list will be supplied to help facilitate this policy). After three (3) class absences your grade will be lowered one grade increment for each absence after three (ie A to A-, or C to C-). Your grade will be lowered one grade increment for each UnBalanced Connection concert missed. Each missed concert or presentation will also result in a reduction in your grade by one increment.

4) The Electroacoustic Music Studio is available for use by each electroacoustic music student.

5) Sign-in/out is required when using the studio. You must return the studio to the normal condition after each use or your use privileges will be removed.
