Application for Examination for Music Students

Examinations and recitals must be presented in one of the official final examination periods. See www.mcgill.ca/importantdates for Fall and Winter; Summer graduands see special procedures in the Special procedures for September Exams (Graduating Students Only) section below.

All students wishing to present a required practical examination should register for the exam by the course drop/add deadline. Registrations after that date will be accepted with permission of the Department of Performance up to the deadlines stated below.

Upon registration, students are then responsible for:

  1. reviewing their Area's Examination Requirements and, in consultation with their assigned practical instructor, deciding on appropriate material to perform at the examination;
  2. completing the online Examination Application Form to submit the details pertinent to their examination level by the deadline specified below.

Applications may be withdrawn without penalty any time up to the withdrawal deadline given below. Permission to withdraw from a practical examination after the withdrawal deadline will normally be granted only in the case of illness. A medical certificate must be submitted to the Department of Performance Office within seven days after the withdrawal request has been received. Withdrawal from a practical examination on other than medical grounds must be authorized by the Chair of the Department of Performance.
