The Office of the Associate Deans of the Conservatory provides oversight, support, and information regarding academic requirements, procedures, and regulations to all Oberlin students pursuing course work in music.
Hey There Conservatory Students!
This year, it is our goal to get 100% of the Conservatory students registered for the spring semester. This can be as simple as registering for only one thing (lessons, for example). it is extremely important for us to know who is returning to campus and your registration is the only way to be sure of this. So, PLEASE register so that I can proudly tell the registrar we've hit 100%!!
Thanks all,
Marci Alegant

CONSERVATORY ASSOCIATE DEANS FAQs:
Pass/No Pass. All passing work (A+ to C minus) is given the uniform grade of Pass (P). Work below C minus is considered not passing, and is given a grade of No Pass (NP). The grades of P and NP do not enter into the GPA calculation. Departments will have the option of deciding how to handle P/NP grades with respect to credit in the major. Please consult the major requirements in this catalog for specific information regarding P/NP grades.
Withdrawal Grades. A student may withdraw from a class between the end of the Add/Drop period and the last day of the eighth week of classes (last day of the fourth week of classes for modules). If a student withdraws from a class, the notation W (Withdrawn; no indication of passing or failing) will be entered on the student’s transcript. After the end of the eighth week of classes (fourth week for a module course), a letter grade or P/NP will be awarded. The number of registered hours is not reduced by withdrawing from a course. Thus, students must remain within the maximum hours allowed (16 for the Bachelor of Arts, 17 for the Bachelor of Music and double-degree programs) if there is consideration of withdrawing from one course and adding another during the semester.

Career Resources: Gig Referral Service
The Gig Referral Service aims to provide Oberlin students with freelance performance opportunities, as well as a chance to help students develop professional and career skills. The office facilitates the hiring of talented student musicians by allowing clients to post information about performance opportunities through the office. The service also aims to provide community members with quality musicians at a competitive cost. Typical gig opportunities arranged through the office include weddings or receptions, corporate functions, and “atmosphere” entertainment. The Gig Referral Service does not post full time job openings or coordinate private lessons. Students who are interested in participating should visit Robertson 129, questions can be directed to gigs@oberlin.edu.
