Generally,
credit will be granted towards graduation for academic classes in
which a student received a grade of C or better at an accredited
institution. After a student has passed the audition and has been
accepted to the University, the University Office of Admission evaluates
the transcript and determines the University of Miami equivalents.
During orientation, transfer students meet with the Assistant Dean
of the Frost School of Music who determines which transferred courses
will be counted toward the desired major.
A music
theory placement exam taken during orientation determines the appropriate
level of theory. The Assistant Dean validates prior music credits.
It is helpful to bring a syllabus for each music class taken at
another school. Based on the jury exam at the end of the first semester,
the faculty determine the level of study on the instrument or voice.
