04.13.08.03 Performance Probation
Students who fail to make satisfactory academic progress in their principal instrument will be placed on performance probation. There are two types of performance probation.
Jury probation: Students will be placed on jury probation as a result of an unsatisfactory performance jury or failure to perform a jury. Students with documented medical concerns or emergencies may be permitted to postpone their jury by one semester with the approval of the Office of Academic Affairs.
Jury probation carries no financial penalty, but the probationary status must be removed within one semester or the student will be dismissed from the performance major and/or Eastman. Jury probation resulting from an unsatisfactory performance jury will be recorded as a grade of “incomplete” for the semester and may cause the delay of the student’s advancement in class year or reassignment of graduation date. An incomplete in a jury will impact a student’s Satisfactory Academic Progress calculation.
Lesson Probation: Students may be placed on lesson probation as a result of a semester grade of “C+” or lower in applied lessons. Lesson probation carries no financial penalty, but the student must earn the grade of “B-” or above in the subsequent semester or the student will be dismissed from the Eastman School of Music.
