- enter the jury exam, if scheduled, with an instructor’s grade of 75 or lower based on work completed, or
- withdraw from the course, or
- receive a grade of “F” in the course, or
- in cases of extreme medical or personal circumstances, request an incomplete grade for the semester. Missed lessons would be made up during the next semester, and the instructor would decide on how a final grade for the previous semester would be calculated. The Request-for-Incomplete form (http://registrar.syr.edu/wp-content/uploads/form- incomplete-grade-request.pdf ) must be filled out first, and signed by the student, instructor, and Director of the School of Music. Incomplete grades are counted as “F” in GPA calculations, and must be completed in no more than one year, at which point they automatically change to permanent “F” grades.
Jury Examinations
All Music Majors enrolled in applied music will be required to perform a formal jury examination at the end of each semester as scheduled on their principal instrument, regardless of the number of credits for which they are enrolled. Jury exams are not required in secondary performance areas, if lessons are taken as an elective, or of students who are not music majors, but may be taken at the discretion of the instructor. The smallest allowable jury consists of the instructor and two other faculty members.
