# Applied Lessons Responsibility In order to develop your skills as a musician it is imperative that you have a focused diligence in your private percussion studies. Average work will not prepare you for a successful career in music. Therefore, the policy of this percussion studies program does not allow for more than one semester grade lower than a B – you will be put on notice after the first semester-grade of C (or lower). Students who have earned two semester-grades of C (or lower) are no longer eligible to pursue a major or minor in the UNLV Percussion Area. # Minimum Grade Thresholds The UNLV School of Music has minimum grade thresholds for Undergraduate and Graduate Music Majors. Thus, an F is not the only "failing grade." **Undergraduates** must earn above a C- in ***all*** MUS, MUSA, and MUSE courses for the course to count towards satisfactory completion. **Graduates** must earn above a B- in ***all*** coursework to count towards satisfactory completion. # Failed Hearings A failed hearing is when a Recital Hearing is deemed unsuitable for public performance. This policy is under review and will be posted soon...
