Policies:

1) All listening selections are from the Music Library Listening Area; please plan your time accordingly. A lack of planning on your part does not necessarily constitute an emergency on the part of the library support staff.

2) Late work is not accepted.

3) Attendance is required at all lessons. Should a class be missed, it is the student's responsibility to contact the professor and see that any work assigned is completed by their return (a class list will be supplied to help facilitate this policy). After two (2) lesson absences your grade will be lowered one grade increment for each absence after two (ie A to B+, or C to D+). Your grade will be lowered one grade increment for each Unbalanced Connection concert missed. Eached missed concert, presentation, or work assignment during the 11th Annual Florida Electroacoustic Music Festival will also result in a reduction in your grade by one increment.

4) Those working on electroacoustic music composition will have studio time reserved. Additional time is possible by sign-up every two weeks. Each studio user has a five minute grace period after which the studio will revert to open use; the open use time will be available on a first come, first served basis.

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

6) Plan early for your final project...things have a way of happening at the last minute.
