Registration

Once you have passed the placement requirements, you'll be registered on our list of qualified students. This allows you to take any listed Music Modules of the same entrance requirements.

For a student who is not successful with the placement evaluation, we encourage you to explore modules that do not require a placement exam. For instance, enrolling into MUT1201 Introduction to Classical Music Composition, will provide the support in developing skills required for the placement exam, among other things.
