B. Private Lessons

1. Private music lessons on any instrument or voice are normally forty-five or 45 minutes long. An option to take a one-hour lesson may be recommended by the instructor. A total of 13 lessons will be given per semester.
   
   
2. Students taking either a forty-five or 45 minute or a one-hour lesson once per week receive two academic credits. Students cannot take lessons for "no credit" or on a "pass-fail" basis. They may audit lessons with the approval of the instructor.
   
   
3. Missed lessons:
   
   
   • All lessons missed due to the instructor's absence will be made up.
   • If a lesson is missed due to a holiday during the semester, and this creates a void in the 13-lesson semester, the lesson will be rescheduled.
   • Applied music instructors are not responsible for making up lessons because of a student's late enrollment unless the performance faculty member is unable to start teaching until after the drop/add date.   
   • If it is impossible for the student to take a lesson because of illness, the student must notify the instructor at the earliest possible moment. 
   • Missed lessons will not be made up if the student fails to give prior notification to their instructor.
   • Policies for dealing with students who arrive late for a lesson are left to the discretion of the individual teacher.
