Registration Regulations
Auditing
Full-time students may audit no more than one Conservatory course each semester. Students must obtain written instructor approval to audit between the first and sixth week week of the semester as noted on the academic calendar. Students submit the approval to Student Enrollment and Account Management (SEAM) for enrollment processing. Students may not audit courses at other divisions of the University. Once a course is registered as audit, the grade of AU will be assigned which does not count for academic credit or figure into the number of attempted credits. A course registered as audit may not be converted to a letter grade for credit, but a student may be administratively withdrawn from an audit registration at the request of the instructor for not attending.
Change of Major
Students requesting a change of major must qualify for the new major through auditions and interviews with appropriate faculty. To initiate a change of major or to add a second major, a student should complete an ‘Add/Change Request’ form, available in the Admissions portal. To drop a major, students should submit an academic petition instead.
Change of Studio
In instances where there are compelling reasons for requesting a change, a student may request a change by submitting an academic petition. See Studio Assignments.
Course Changes and Withdrawals
JHU Student Enrollment and Account Management and the Peabody Registrar's Office process course drops and withdrawals. See Academic Calendar for deadlines.
Repeated Courses
Students must submit an Academic Petition for permission to enroll for a third time in a course that has been failed.
