Differential Tuition

Differential tuition enhances the quality of education in the Peck School of the Arts. Differential Tuition is applied regardless of the credit plateau for all students enrolled in most undergraduate courses offered through the degree programs within the UW-Milwaukee Peck School of the Arts beginning in the Fall 2004 semester. Eight 100-level General Education Requirement (GER) courses do not carry the differential: Music 100, Music 101, Music 102, Art 100, Art 105, Art 106, Art 124 and Theatre 100. The differential tuition rate will be set at $20 per credit during the 2008-2009 academic year. Increases or decreases in Differential Tuition can be enacted solely with the approval of the University of Wisconsin Regents.

Evaluations

At the conclusion of each semester, students enrolled in any music department course are required to participate in evaluations of their instructors and courses. Evaluations are obtained using two methods:

  • Students will be asked to answer numerous general questions concerning the course and the delivery of the material on a scantron sheet using a proscribed rating system providing a quantitative evaluation
  • An additional form is provided for students’ written comments

A designated student will bring all scantron sheets and written evaluations in a sealed envelope at the conclusion of the evaluation period to the Music Department office. The instructor should not be present in the classroom during the evaluation. In all cases, students’ comments will remain confidential until final grades have been submitted.

  • Poor attendance
  • Poor homework completion
  • Poor test results
  • Poor computer units results
  • Poor classroom participation
  • Tutoring recommended

Recommendations from the instructor to the student are included in the report. Copies of the report are sent to the student’s ensemble director, studio teacher, other theory area teachers and included in the student’s personal file. Every faculty member receiving a copy of an “At Risk” report is encouraged to discuss it with the student. The report is designed to assist the student in achieving success in the music department.

Final Exams and Juries

Consult your course syllabus for the date and time of the final exam. The UWM website lists the times for all academic course final exams. This is based on the meeting day and time of your class.

If there is a conflict between your jury and another final exam, contact your studio teacher immediately to make alternative arrangements for your jury.

Jury Activities (string, woodwind, brass, keyboard, voice, composition)

All students enrolled in performance and composition studios are required to participate in juries at the completion of each semester. Comments from faculty and staff jurors are shared with students at the beginning of the next semester’s lessons. In some areas, a percentage (usually 10 percent) of the students’ studio grade comes from performance juries.

Probation

(Probation cannot be assigned to an entering freshmen accepted as a music major. See: Provisional Student)

Academic and Music Department
The University-wide Academic Action Policy establishes minimum standards for undergraduate students enrolled in schools and colleges. Individual schools and colleges may adopt stricter criteria, and students should consult the school/college advising offices for specific information.

A music major having a studio grade of C or lower for two consecutive semesters and/or GPA falling below 2.0 minimum university-wide standard for any grading period will be subject to the following academic actions.

  • Music Department Studio Probation: A student who has a studio grade of C or lower for two consecutive semesters may be placed on Music Department Probation. (2.75 GPA is required for continuation in the Music Education degree program.)
  • Clearing Music Department Studio Probation: Achievement in one of the following areas will clear Music Department Studio Probation: Passing jury grade Passing studio grade Successful re-audition If this is not achieved then, further re-evaluation as to potential music degree status is considered.
  • Music Department Scholarships: Scholarship students must maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale). If a scholarship student does not maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or falls below a suitable level of academic or musical performance, he or she will be put on probation for one (the following) semester. If the student continues below level in academic or musical performance during the semester of probation, the student will lose the scholarship. The student may re-apply for a scholarship award after one semester at the appropriate academic and music performance level. (Note: Freshman may be allowed one additional semester of probation. The Scholarship Committee will render decisions on a case by case basis.)
  • Cleared Probation: Achieved when either re-audition, Jury or a Passing grade is attained during the semester of probation and a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or above. Additional University policies regarding probation
  • Academic Probation: Imposed on students whose cumulative GPA falls below 2.0. The student on academic probation whose semester GPA is 2.0 or higher, but whose cumulative GPA remains below 2.0, is permitted to continue on academic probation.
  • Dropped for One Semester: Imposed on any student on academic probation who fails to earn a semester GPA of 2.0.
  • Final Probation: Applies to a student who is permitted to enroll after any drop action. The student on final probation whose semester GPA is 2.0 or better, but whose cumulative GPA remains below 2.0, is permitted to continue on final probation.
  • Dropped for Two Years: Imposed on any student on final probation who fails to achieve a semester and cumulative GPA of 2.0 or better.
  • Reinstatement/Readmission: A dropped student may be reinstated immediately after a drop action or readmitted after the drop period. A readmitted or reinstated student is placed on final probation.

Provisional Student

(Entering first semester freshman only)

A student may be declared “Provisional” if any of the following are applicable:

  • The student is an entering freshman with no previous university academic history
  • The student has a very poor audition however, the auditioning faculty feel that the student “does not audition well”
  • The auditioning faculty feel that the student has potential, but feel uncertain of the student as a music major
  • Extremely low theory placement scores

The student will enter as “Provisional” registering for studio lessons, appropriate ensemble and other music classes recommended as a result of the audition process.

At the conclusion of the semester, the student’s jury performance will determine whether that student is accepted into the music degree program. The area faculty will determine if the studio lessons and ensemble will apply to the degree requirements. If the student is not allowed to enter the music program, the GER credits will apply to other degree programs at UWM or another school.

Repeating Courses

“Unless a restriction is stated in the Schedule of Classes, undergraduates may repeat a course only once, and only the higher of the two grades will be calculated into the grade point average (GPA). Both attempts will appear on the student's transcript.

If the UWM course repeats a course for which the student received transfer credit, only the UWM course will be calculated into the GPA, regardless of grade. Both attempts will be shown on the transcript.

A student will be administratively dropped from any course which they try to repeat more than once without approval of a written appeal to their school/college advising office. The single repeat limit also applies to courses taken for audit or on a credit/no credit basis. Exceptions to this policy are variable-topic courses, which may be taken for credit as often as permitted for that particular course, as specified in the Schedule of Classes.

NOTE: Further restrictions may apply; check the departmental listings in the Schedule of Classes for further information on departmental policies

Students who took a course as a repeat prior to fall, 1988 are entitled to one additional enrollment. Transfer students who did not previously take a course at UWM are entitled to one repeat at UWM of a course taken at a previous institution.

In courses of limited enrollment, students who have not taken the course previously have priority over students who are repeating the course. Individual schools and colleges may adopt stricter criteria. It is generally advisable for any student to consult an advisor before registering to repeat a course. “

Implementation procedures of the Repeat Policy as stated in Faculty Document No. 1558 effective September 1, 1988 adopted by the Ad Hoc Academic Administrative Committee February 16, 1989

  1. The Repeat Policy allows a student to repeat a UWM course only once after Fall 1988. This policy is not affected by the number of times a course is repeated before the implementation date.
  2. The Repeat Policy applies to any course carried to completion whether it was taken for credit or taken on a credit/no credit or audit basis. The Repeat Policy does not apply to courses not carried to completion, e.g. courses that were dropped. (A dropped course, even if it appears on the record with a notation of W, is not considered a repeat.)
  3. The Repeat Policy does not allow a UWM student to take as a repeat course equivalent to a UWM course offered by another college after that student has exhausted repeat option at UWM.
  4. Students transferring to UWM are allowed one repeat of a transferable course regardless of the number of attempts allowed by a previous institution.
  5. (Music Department Policy) Under the Repeat Policy, a student requesting permission for a second repeat of a course must provide a written request to the Music Department Chairperson. Under the Repeat Policy, a student may be granted approval to repeat a course a second time upon the Music Department Chairperson’s determination that exceptional circumstances apply. The Chairperson may request an Appeals Committee take up the request as deemed appropriate. The committee will meet after receiving the student’s written appeal to the Music Department Chairperson. The committee will deliberate primarily on the basis of written documents submitted by all interested parties, but may conduct interviews or such other investigation as may be necessary to resolve the issue. The decision should be rendered in writing and signed by all members of the committee with copies to the student, the Office of the Dean in the Peck School of the Arts, and the Music Department Chairperson. This discussion must take place within a maximum of 10 working days of the Chairperson receiving the written appeal that prompted the action. The Dean's Office will then make determination to except or reject the recommendation of the Music Department Chairperson, and will notify the Department of Enrollment Services of the appropriate outcome, by means of an Executive Action.
  6. An exception granted by one School or College will generally be accepted by another UWM School or College. Students should be made aware that, upon transfer to another school/college, the receiving school/college will review and evaluate all coursework in accordance with its own criteria, and that these criteria may change.

  7. Additional applications of the Repeat Policy

  1. When it is discovered that a student has exceeded the permitted number of repeats of a course, he/she will be administratively dropped from the course, the course will remain on the record and a symbol of WR will be assigned in place of the grade.
  2. Essentially, any third attempt of a course that follows a second enrollment since September, 1988, will be considered an illegal repeat.

Preparing for your Recital

Recital hall Reservations for Junior and Senior Recitals

  • Students must come to the Music Office and review available dates in the Office Tracker system. Once the student has found open dates, he/she must go back to the primary instructor to consult and confirm a date(s) that are mutually acceptable. After the date is finalized between student and instructor, the student should then email the Music Department at music-info@uwm.edu to request the recital date(s).
  • All Recital Hall requests are tentative until the necessary on-line forms are completed and submitted. All request forms must be submitted one month prior to the event. Once the forms are complete and have been submitted, only then will the Recital Hall request be finalized. Otherwise, the Music Department has the right to cancel the reservation and use the space for another event.
  • All student recitals are automatically allocated a one-time, two-hour rehearsal reservation. This date should be scheduled at the same time as the Recital date to be assured a rehearsal date.
  • The student will then receive an email confirming both the Recital date and Rehearsal date, and will further be instructed to come to the Music Office and complete all necessary scheduling forms (preferably immediately). All forms carry detailed submission information.

Required forms include:

  1. Recital Hall Scheduling Form
  2. Recital Hall Concert Form – House/Stage Manager Request Information
  3. Recital Hall House Manager’s Report Form
  4. Recital Hall Program Submission Form

Collaboratives Artists Payment (CAP)

At the request of the UWM music majors, Differential Tuition money has been set aside to assist in paying the fees to collaborative artists (accompanists) for Junior and Senior recitals of UWM Music majors.

Every Music major is eligible for payment from Differential Tuition to collaborative artists for accompaniment of Junior and Senior recitals, for up to one Junior and one Senior recital, and additional recitals if they are degree-required during his/her undergraduate career at UWM.

A maximum amount of $150 per recital will be paid to collaborative artists (i.e., one payment of $150 may be made to one collaborative artist or two (2) collaborative artists may be paid $75 each, not to exceed $150 per recital). For joint recitals, a maximum of $150 per recital will be paid to any collaborative artists. Payments from Differential Tuition will only be made directly to an individual (or individuals) performing as a collaborative artist for a UWM Music student Junior or Senior recital; payment will not be made directly to the student presenting the recital for he/she to disburse to the collaborative artist(s).

It is the responsibility of the student presenting the recital to engage a collaborative artist(s) and make appropriate rehearsal and recital venue arrangements according to UWM Music Department procedures.

Application Requirements:
Student must submit request six (6) weeks prior to the recital date (forms are available from the studio teacher or the Music Department office). Applications must include a copy of the Event Form required to arrange the recital with the Music Department. Applications must be signed by the studio teacher and include the name(s) of those serving as accompanist(s) for the recital.

If approved, payments to accompanists will be issued upon completion of the recital (with verification by the studio instructor) according to UWM accounting policies and procedures.

For joint recitals, both presenters must submit separate CAP applications IF they are engaging separate collaborative artists AND they must be submitted together with the appropriate Event Form attached.

Administrative Guidelines:
The request will be reviewed by the Black and Gold Differential Tuition Student Sub-Committee and approved by the Music Department Chair before funds are granted.

The completed request with studio instructor signature (and area head signature if recital is degree-required) must be submitted to the Music Department Program Manager by the Black and Gold Differential Tuition Student Sub-Committee within 10 business days prior to recital to ensure prompt payment. Funds will be paid in accordance with the University policies and procedures approximately ten days to two weeks after the recital. The Music Department Program Manager will notify the student of receipt of and status of processing of the payment request.

Recording Recitals and Concerts

I. Recording Lab Seminar

Students and faculty may choose to take the Recording Lab Seminar to learn about using the MUS175 Recital Hall recording booth, MUS103 Recording Lab, and the Zelazo Bader Hall sound booth. The seminar is free, offered multiple times per semester, and takes about 1 hour. Postings around the first floor of the Music Building will give the dates and times of the seminars. It covers:

  • Using the Marantz CD-R Recorder (in MUS175)
  • Transferring raw recordings to a computer editing station (in MUS103)
  • Mixing and mastering a recital for a finished CD

The Zelazo sound booth is equipped with the same Marantz CD-R Recorder as the Recital Hall, along with additional signs and notes for using the room's mixer.

II. Student Access

Students must first take the Recording Lab Seminar to gain access to the recording facilities. An updated list of student access is kept in the Music Office Mail Room.

Students who wish to record their recital (or someone else's recital) may request access to the recording booth. If they are on the student access list, the hall manager will open the space for them. (This includes rehearsals or other cases where the student reserves the hall.)

A sign out sheet has been posted on the MUS103 Recording Lab door. The key to the room may be checked out from the Music Office and kept for a maximum 24 hours. The sign-out sheet in the Music Office is supervised by the office staff who check the student access list before giving out the key.
