Transfer Student Admission Requirements To be eligible for admission to the College of Fine Arts, a transfer student must satisfy the minimum requirements for admission as specified in the Admissions section of the Undergraduate catalogue. Additionally, all students must complete two sequential courses of foreign language in secondary school of 8-10 semester hours at the postsecondary level, or document an equivalent level of proficiency. The primary criterion for Admission to the College of Fine arts is proficiency in the student's discipline. Students are admitted to the program following completion of a satisfactory audition and have achieved an acceptable proficiency in music skills. The community college program should include two years of music theory, including ear training, sigh singing, and keyboard harmony; two years of performance major study; and two years of ensemble. Community college transfer students, with or without an AA degree, who have satisfactorily completed the required four semesters of music theory, four semesters of lower division performance study and four semesters of secondary piano will audition at the Professional Level in order to be admitted to the Junior level of study. The audition will include a Comprehensive Musicianship Exam and a Pre-Professional Performance Jury**. Students in the above category who do not successfully pass either the CMP and/or PPJ will be required to take remedial course work based on their audition test scores. Upon successful completion of the remedial course work they must re-take the CMP and/or PPJ and receive a satisfactory score for admittance to the Professional Level (3000) of study. Community college students, with or without an AA degree, who have NOT completed the required pre-professional course work will audition at the Pre-Professional level. These students will take a comprehensive musicianship exam for placement within the theory program and must then successfully pass the final Comprehensive Musicianship Exam upon completion of the theory course work assigned for remediation. Transfer Evaluation All transfer students with an Associate of Arts degree or with 60 hours of accumulated credit must be accepted into a College when they apply for admission to the University of Florida. The following courses are recommended for admission to the College of Fine Arts School of Music:
**Preprofessional
Performance Jury, Revised, March 2000, Approved by the Music Faculty
3/16/00 The Pre-professional Performance Jury (PPJ) is part of the pre-professional/professional concept adopted by the School of Music in 1994. Details of the entire pre-profession/professional concept may be found in the document, "Music Major Admission to Professional Level" (September 8, 1994), which is also contained in the School of Music "Undergraduate Student Handbook" (p. 10). The PPJ is normally administered to students completing their sophomore year as they seek to move from the 2000, pre-professional level, to the 3000, professional level, of performance study. Content The Pre-professional Performance Jury will be 20 minutes in length. It will include sight-reading, the prepared performance of a minimum of two contrasting styles, and a verbal presentation by the student about one of the prepared selections. The verbal presentation should be both historical and analytical and be from two to five minutes in length. The student may prepare an outline of the presentation for distribution to the members of the jury panel. It is the option of each performance area to include the performance of other material studied during the current semester, at the request of the jury panel. Procedure In the addition to the appropriate performance faculty, each PPJ will include one non- performance faculty member. Non-performance faculty members will be assigned to the PPJs each term by the Director's Office on a fair and equitable basis. The role of the non-performance faculty member will be the same as the performance faculty - completing the jury rating sheet, providing comments as appropriate, and voting on the jury performance. The non-performance faculty will have no veto authority over any aspect of the jury performance. Any one of three actions may be taken as the result of the jury performance, as determined by a majority vote of the jury. In the case of a tie vote, the action automatically becomes Provisional Status.
With regard to Provisional Status, the conditions are determined by the jury panel. The student is informed in writing of the conditions. The conditions must be met no later than the time of the student's next jury exam. Conditions being, satisfied will result in the student being passed to the 3000, professional level. Conditions not being met will result in the student being failed, and the student will not be allowed to continue in the program. Responsibilities
