How to register for the comprehensive exam:

1. Choose your third committee member. The first two committee members are the student’s applied teacher and the Jazz Division Coordinator of Graduate Studies. This third committee member should be a faculty member with whom the student should have had at least one class, lesson, or ensemble.
2. Schedule a one-hour exam time that works for everyone's schedule. It must take place before the Jazz Studies deadline for the M.M. Comprehensive Exam, which is always two weeks before the Toulouse Graduate School deadline for receiving the results of the comprehensive exam (typically in week 9 or 10 of the semester). This policy began in fall 2010. This is to allow two weeks for those students who are assigned a review assignment as a result of the exam. Students who are assigned a complete retake may not retake it sooner than two weeks after the exam, but they may retake it before the end of that semester, or later, at the discretion of the faculty committee.
3. The Toulouse Graduate School deadline is labeled "Final Submission Deadline" at this link in the "Graduation Deadlines" section.
4. Exams are held in a committee member's office, so you don't need to schedule a room for the exam.
5. There is not a class to register for to take the comprehensive exam.
6. The comprehensive exam can only be done in a Fall or Spring semester.
