04.00.02 Continuous Undergraduate Registration

Undergraduates are required to be continuously registered at the Eastman School of Music. This means that undergraduate students must register every fall and spring semester from their first semester of study until their degree is completed.

There are two options that enable undergraduate students to maintain continuous enrollment when not registered for coursework. Both require approval from the Associate Dean of Academic Affairs. International students with an F-1 or H-1 visa status must also obtain approval from the International Services Office. Students intending to register for one of these two options must have it approved in advance of the first day of classes for each semester except in extraordinary circumstances. The two registration options are as follows:

  • 6ESM 385 Inactive Status – Undergraduate Leave of Absence
  • 6SAB 200 Study Abroad

Students who do not register for more than one academic semester may be administratively withdrawn on the first day of the second semester in which they have not registered. The withdrawal will be retroactive to the end of the student’s last active semester. Should students wish to return to degree studies after having been withdrawn, they must reapply for admission to Eastman and re-audition for studio placement.
