Continuing Registration in UR Student
How to Register (in 3 easy steps)
1. Log-in to UR Student
You will need to use your username and password to log-in, and, if you are off campus, you will need to have set up Duo Authentication.
Click here to open UR Student in a new window.
If you haven’t set up your account yet, click here.
If you already have your username and need help with two-factor Duo Authentication, click here.
2. Complete Annual Onboarding Tasks
Click the red number in your mailbox, located in the upper righthand corner of most screens.
Once you review each of the five brief tasks and click the blue “submit” button under each step, your account will be ready for registration. (Tasks include verifying contact information, signing a payment agreement, etc.)
*Note: If you skip this step, you will not be able to complete registration.
3. Find Course Section and Register

Billing
Please note that registration is a commitment to the full semester. Tuition for all ECMS activities is a flat per-semester enrollment fee, not subject to custom prorating. (Click here for withdrawal and refund and missed lesson policies.)
No payment is due at the time of registration. Fall bills will be mailed at the end of August, due September 27. Spring semester bills will automatically be generated in January unless you notify the office in writing that you are dropping.
Students may choose to enroll in a monthly payment plan to avoid late fees. Students must re-enroll for the payment plan each semester by signing up in UR Student (beginning in August for fall). Click the “Finances” application on the UR Student home page, then “Sign Up for Payment Plan”.
Important Information
Online re-registration will be open through September 15, 2024.
Beginning Fall 2024, there are changes to our ability to prorate lessons. If you have made special advance arrangements with your teacher, faculty may request that your registration be adjusted in 4-week increments only (i.e. 8 or 12 or 20 lessons instead of the standard 16).
The full-semester lesson tuition includes recitals, concerts, masterclasses, exams and juries, accompanying, access to Sibley Music Library, and (new this coming year) FREE enrollment in Music Theory and Aural Skills 1.
Most registrations roll over for automatic spring registration (except for 9-week sessions or less, such as Early Childhood and Bridges courses).
