Transferring Courses

• Courses taken at another college or at a community college may be used to fulfill lower-division requirements only. Go to Assist to determine whether your course has already been articulated. If it is not listed on Assist, then an Undergraduate Student Petition must be submitted to the Music Department with an attached photocopy of the course description from the originating institution's course syllabus or catalog.
• The Music Department does not accept Advanced Placement (AP) courses to apply toward the minor.

The Music Department allows students to take minor courses for letter and/or pass/no pass grading options. If you are using a course to satisfy a requirement for your college, please check with the college advising office for their policy.
