Reminders from the Music Graduate Office

Graduate Students,

Here a few things to keep in mind as the Spring semester ends.

1. Don't forget to register for the summer II and/or fall semester as soon as possible. Courses are beginning to fill up, so it's better to register sooner rather than later. Remember that it takes 24 hours for the Music Graduate office to process program planning sheets.

2. If you are graduating this May or August, be sure that you have submitted an application for graduation to the Music Graduate Office. You can view your IUCARE (degree check) at www.insite.indiana.edu under the "Students" section to check that you have completed all of the necessary requirements for your degree (you can also see on your IUCARE whether you have turned in an application for graduation).

3. If you are an International student, be sure that your I-20 is in order with the International Services office (Franklin Hall 306) before the end of the semester.

Let us know if you have any questions or concerns about registration or graduation.

Important Information about Fall registration

School of Music Graduate Students:

Registration for the fall semester began April 7. Don't wait until the last minute to register because it could cost you a lot of time and money with schedule adjustment and/or late registration fees, and because courses fill up quickly.

You should have already received your copy of the Schedule of Classes in the mail. If you did not receive your copy, check with the Office of the Registrar (Franklin Hall 100 or 855-0121). You can also view the Schedule of Classes and look up your registration appointment time on INSITE (http://insite.indiana.edu).

You can see information on School of Music courses on-line at http://www.indiana.edu/~deanfac/blfal03/mus/ if the instructor has chosen to post it. Look here for announcements, new courses, course Web pages and other information.

We suggest you read the information at the following link before filling out your Program Planning Sheet: http://www.music.indiana.edu/som/grad/RegistrationTips.htm.

Program Planning Sheets are available outside the MARS office (MU 011). Remember there is a 24-hour processing time for the planning sheets once you turn them in to our office. After you pick up your processed Program Planning Sheet, you can register either on-line or on the phone after your assigned registration appointment time. See your Schedule of Classes for information about registration procedures and fees.

The Office of the Registrar has placed all students who are not compliant with the State's immunization policy on check list. BEING PLACED ON CHECK LIST PREVENTS YOU FROM REGISTERING UNTIL ALL IMMUNIZATION REQUIREMENTS HAVE BEEN MET. For information regarding the immunization policy, contact the Office of the Registrar or view the information on their Web site (http://registrar.indiana.edu/Services/immune.html).

If you have any questions about degree requirements, please make an appointment to see me. Be sure to register for the fall semester before you leave for summer vacation.

School of Music Graduate Students:

Registration for the summer session begins March 26. You can turn in your program planning sheets as soon as you'd like for either the summer or fall. Don't wait until the last minute to register because it could cost you a lot of time and money with schedule adjustment and/or late registration fees, and because courses fill up quickly.

The Schedule of Classes was sent out several weeks ago. If you did not receive your copy, check with the Office of the Registrar (Franklin Hall 100 or 855-0121). You can also view the Schedule of Classes and look up your registration appointment time on INSITE (http://insite.indiana.edu).

Important information for International Students

Graduate students,

As you probably know, the Office of International Services has implemented SEVIS, a system designed to provide information on international students and their dependents. The new system and some new Federal regulations will affect School of Music students in a few ways we wanted you to be aware of.

1. Final recital timing. In the past, international diploma and master's degree students have been able to finish their coursework and then stay for an additional semester to finish a recital without registering in any courses. This will no longer be possible for students in the United States on a visa. International diploma and degree students who wish to be at IU to give a recital will have to be registered full-time during that semester, even if the only remaining requirement is the recital.

This does not affect summer sessions. A diploma or degree student who wishes to perform a recital in the summer session will not be required to enroll as long as the recital course was registered for during an earlier semester.

2. Address changes. All international students must keep their local address updated with IU, reporting any change of address within 10 days of moving.

3. Full-time enrollment. Students may not drop below full-time enrollment without permission from the Director of Graduate Studies and--especially--the office of International Student Services. It is essential to get this permission before you reduce your schedule.

The International Services office is offering information sessions with more details about the new regulations and how it may affect international students. To sign up for one of these session you can go to http://www.indiana.edu/~intlcent/ and click on "My OIS". After you log in you can get information about when the sessions are being held and you can sign up to attend one. We strongly advise all international students attend one of these sessions.

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

11 March 2003: To all doctoral students

Important information for International Students

Dear doctoral students:

As you probably know, the Office of International Services has implemented SEVIS, a system designed to provide information on international students and their dependents. The new system and some new Federal regulations will affect School of Music students in a few ways we wanted you to be aware of.

1. Continuous registration. In the past, doctoral students who had completed their course work and who were working on qualifying exams had a one-year period in which they did not have to enroll. Beginning in the fall semester 2003, this will no longer be possible. Those in the United States on student visas will have to be continuously registered during the fall and spring semesters.

To meet this requirement, doctoral students who have completed their course work and who have applied to begin qualifying exams may enroll in a new 0-credit course, MUS G601, for two semesters. While doctoral students are working on exams this will be considered full-time enrollment. If the qualifying exam process takes more than 2 semesters, students needing more time will need to register in at least one hour of document or dissertation credit to maintain their status.

We will send out more information about the new 0-credit course with registration information. This course will available to any qualified doctoral student who would like to enroll in it, but it is not clear that other authorities (banks, lenders, etc.) will consider it to be full-time enrollment.

2. Address changes. All international students must keep their local address updated with IU, reporting any change of address within 10 days of moving.

3. Full-time enrollment. Students may not drop below full-time enrollment without permission from the Director of Graduate Studies and--especially--the office of International Student Services. It is essential to get this permission before you reduce your schedule.

The International Services office is offering information sessions with more details about the new regulations and how it may affect international students. To sign up for one of these session you can go to http://www.indiana.edu/~intlcent/ and click on "My OIS". After you log in you can get information about when the sessions are being held and you can sign up to attend one. We strongly advise all international students to attend one of these sessions.

Auto-W Deadline

Graduate students,

The Auto-W Deadline for Spring Semester 2003 is Wednesday, March 12th (for semester sections).

Before the Auto-W deadline you may drop a class with the permission of the department chair and the Dean (Music Graduate Office), and you will automatically receive a grade of "W".

After the Auto-W deadline: A student may withdraw from a course only with the permission of the instructor, department chair, and his or her dean. You must obtain the instructor’s and chairperson’s signatures before returning to the Music Graduate Office for the Dean’s approval. (The chairperson’s signature is the signature of the chairperson of the department offering the course.) This approval is normally given only for urgent reasons related to extended illness or equivalent distress. After the Auto-W deadline, instructors may choose to give students either a “W” for withdrawal or an “F.”

Final Schedule Adjustment Authorization Forms are available in the Music Graduate Office (Merrill Hall 011).

Writing and English Courses

The following is a message from Prof. David Lasocki.

Dear students,

This spring I am continuing to offer the following classes, to returning students or those joining us for the first time:

(1) English for Foreign Music Students
This course will review the most common areas of English in which foreign students experience problems: grammar, syntax, punctuation, and musical terminology.
Thursdays, 3:00-4:00 p.m., Room M263

(2) Writing about Music
This course will cover how to write well in various formats (bios, resumes, reviews, program notes, summaries and abstracts, analyses, essays, and papers). It should be suitable for both native speakers and foreign music students with a good command of written English. The course is being offered at alternate times, so that whether you are enrolled in choir or in orchestra, I hope you will be free to attend:
Mondays, 1:25-2:25 p.m., Room M298 OR
Thursdays, 4:00-5:00 p.m., Room M263

Room M263 is in the Music Library (second floor, above the circulation desk). Room M298 is in the Music Library building, outside the library (second floor). The classes will begin during the SECOND week of the semester, to allow time for your schedules to settle.

These classes are informal (no charge, no need to sign up), although I do expect that students will make a commitment to attend for the entire semester.

Hope to see you in one (or more) of these classes.

With many thanks.

For Students who took the 10/19/02 Styles Exam

Dear doctoral students:

The results of the October 19th Styles Exam are now posted outside the door of the Graduate Office, MU011. In the next few days we will send you a letter with information about the exam and a detailed breakdown of your performance. Congratulations to the many of you (48 out of 59) who passed the exam.

For those of you who did not pass, your options depend on when you began the doctoral program. Students who entered before the fall of 2002 may take the exam two times; beyond that they must petition for permission to take it again. If you are in this position, please make an appointment to see me after you receive your letter. Students who entered before the fall of 2002 may also petition to take T545 to meet the requirement.

Students who entered in the fall of 2002 who did not pass must ordinarily take T545. The exam system has changed recently and we are still adjusting the process. For this reason I would be pleased to meet with any student in this position to discuss other possibilities, including permission to take the exam a second time in the fall of 2003.

If you are hoping to take T545 in the spring semester, you might already know that there is a short waiting list. Do not panic. First, I expect that some students will drop the course. Second, I will be pleased to help students who need to take the class but are not yet able to get in. Let the dust settle for a few days, then please get in touch with Sara Erbes or with me.

Sincerely,

Prof. Daniel R. Melamed
Director of Graduate Studies

Music Theory AI auditions - Spring 2003

Students who are interested in being considered for an appointment as a music theory AI for the next academic year (2003-2004) need to apply for an audition. (Current theory AIs do not need to re-audition.) Any qualified current graduate student, or current undergraduate student who is applying for admission to a graduate program in the SOM for next year, may request an audition. Theory AI’s are not given to undergraduate students.

All current students should fill out an electronic request for an audition time at http://theory.music.indiana.edu/ofc/aud_app.html.
You will then be contacted about a specific time and place for the audition. Auditions for music theory AI positions are normally given during SOM audition weekends.

The deadline to request a music theory AI audition is January 15, 2003.
Details about the audition are available at http://theory.music.indiana.edu/ofc/ai_aud.html.
The audition consists of sight singing, aural identification, keyboard sight reading, and visual analysis (including discussion of musical materials). Applicants should not audition unless they have very good abilities in most, if not all, of these areas.

Doctoral grants in aid of research

Dear doctoral students (and their advisers):

Below is some information about grants in support of research available from the University. There are two application deadlines, in October and in March. Please note that these grants are available to students who are formally candidates for their degrees--meaning that they have passed all their qualifying examinations.

The information below is from the Web site http://www.indiana.edu/~grdschl/awardmem.html#D. If you have finished exams and are working on a document whose research could use some financial support, consider applying. If you do apply, please turn in your completed application and materials a week before the deadline.

Prof. Daniel R. Melamed
Director of Graduate Studies
School of Music
Indiana University

Doctoral Student Grants-in-Aid of Research

Purpose: These grants provide funding for Bloomington graduate students for unusual expenses incurred in connection with doctoral dissertation research, such as travel to special libraries or laboratories, payments to consultants, the purchase of microfilm and computer data tapes, specialized equipment, and duplication of vital materials needed for writing the dissertation. Expenses that are not supported include typing and duplicating of dissertations, normal living expenses, routine laboratory supplies, and computers.

In the case of requests for equipment, the director of graduate studies must verify that neither the equipment requested nor the funds are available to support the research. In case the application is funded for an amount below that necessary to purchase the equipment, the department will be responsible for the additional funds. At the completion of the project, the equipment will be housed in the department and made available for future research projects by other graduate students.

Eligibility Criteria: To be eligible to apply, a student must have been formally admitted to Ph.D. candidacy by the application deadline (the Nomination to Candidacy form must have been approved by the Dean of the University Graduate School). Students pursuing the M.F.A. degree or doctoral degrees other than the Ph.D. (e.g., Ed.D. or D.M.) may also apply for a Doctoral Student Grant-in-Aid of Research. An applicant must be enrolled full-time on the Bloomington campus during the semester in which he or she is applying.

Nomination Process: The application materials must be submitted to the University Graduate School (Kirkwood Hall 111, Bloomington campus) by the director of graduate studies. Because any group of two or more applications from one department or school must be ranked by that department or school before the forms are sent to the University Graduate School, the student should notify the director of graduate studies in the department well in advance of October 1, 2002 or March 1, 2003 that he/she will be applying for a Doctoral Student Grant-in-Aid of Research. A student's application consists of the following items:

1.   a completed application form, including the signature of the student as well as the signatures of the dissertation director and the director of graduate studies;
2.   two letters of recommendation: a letter of support from the dissertation chair and a letter of support from another individual knowledgeable about the proposed research are required (letters should evaluate the merit of the research, the reasonableness of the proposed expenses, and progress to date; they may be sent directly to the University Graduate School, Kirkwood Hall 111, Bloomington campus);
3.   a copy of the curriculum vitae of the applicant;
4.   a copy of the abstract of the dissertation proposal (the proposal must have been approved by the student's dissertation committee); and
5.   If there is more than one application from a department, the director of graduate studies should report the departmental ranking in the appropriate section of the Grant-in-Aid of Research application.

Award Value: The maximum amount awarded to any student is $1,000. If a student is funded for less than $1,000, he or she may apply in another competition for the remainder of the $1,000. Receipts are required for reimbursement of expenses, and should be presented to the student's department for processing after a Grant-in-Aid of Research has been awarded.

Deadlines: October 1, 2001 and March 1, 2002.

Late applications will be returned to the department, but may be submitted again for the next competition. Grants are announced approximately two months after the deadline.

AN IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT SCHEDULE ADJUSTMENT

The end of this week, Friday September 6, is the last day to make any schedule changes using the RegWeb system (www.regweb.indiana.edu). There is a $6 per session schedule change fee that is charged when you change your schedule in RegWeb. Remember that even if you drop a class you are still responsible for being enrolled full-time (at least 8 credits for Masters and Doctoral students, 9 credits for PD, AD, and Visiting students).

Friday, September 6 is also the last day to get a 100% refund on a dropped course.

Starting Monday, September 9, to change your schedule you will need to get a Final Schedule Adjustment form from our office, collect various signatures, and take the form to the Registrar's office. There will be a $22 schedule adjustment fee charged per drop and per add. That means that starting next week if you drop one class and add another you will have a total of $44 worth of schedule adjustment fees. If you drop a class during the week of September 9 you will receive only a 75% refund of your tuition fees unless you simultaneously add another course with the same number of credit hours.
