Performance Scheduling Conflicts

During the academic year many students wish to take advantage of performing opportunities that may enhance and complement their studies in the Faculty of Music. Should a scheduling conflict arise because of a performing opportunity, this must be reported to the Performance Office, where an attempt will be made to resolve the problem. Students must realize, however, that academic obligations take priority over any outside engagement.
