institution, he or she must receive written permission from the <strong>music</strong> executive <strong>of</strong> that<br />
school to withdraw from the commitments, obligations, and benefits <strong>of</strong> his or her<br />

Scholarship Contract for specific requirements. Contracts are on file in the Music Office<br />

The student's academic performance is reviewed at each midterm and at the end<br />

risk <strong>of</strong> failing) is notified by the Program Director, who also notifies the advisor. (See<br />
