Tutoring for Success applies to any student whose overall performance in the course falls below 75%. The instructor will create the task in the Student Engagement Portal (Watermark) to direct the student to the appropriate tutoring service, which may be faculty- or SI-led, discipline-specific, and/or general. The tutoring service assigned, the due date for when the tutoring must be completed, and the amount of tutoring required are at the discretion of the instructor. Additionally, the task will alert the student’s success team. Students who do not fulfill the assigned tutoring task may be subject to program- and course-specific penalties that could result in a grade reduction and/or in not being allowed to progress in the course until the tutoring requirement has been satisfied.
Students who do not attend class on or prior to the census date will be administratively dropped. Effective Fall, 2016
Students who wish to withdraw from a course must complete all steps indicated on the Academic Withdrawal Request form by the course withdrawal deadline.
NOTE: Students who are attending Texas institutions of higher education, for the first time fall 2007 and later, may not withdraw from more than six courses during their academic career. This withdrawal limitation does not include dual credit or developmental classes (Senate Bill 1231 Rule 4.10.)

To progress effectively and efficiently, you are expected to practice outside of class a minimum of 30 minutes to 45 minutes daily. ( minimum of 2 hours a week REQUIRED)
Regular daily practice throughout the semester, as opposed to last minute, “emergency” practice, is strongly emphasized.
Practice checklist:
• Schedule a regular daily piano practice time in your weekly schedule NOW!
• If you choose not to practice in the music building, look for a quiet and comfortable place where you can be ALONE and undisturbed during your practice time
• Don’t strain yourself. Check that you are relaxed and supple while you play. Stretch before and after practice
• Take a short break every half hour and stretch
• 20 minutes of focused practice are more productive than 2 hours of unfocused practice
• Have a pencil, your class notes and assignments with you when you practice
• Plan your practice before sitting down at the piano. Some pieces may need more attention than others.
• Conscious and purposeful repetition is the key to improvement
• Contact your instructor if you have questions or to get an assignment
• Contact your instructor if practicing hurts!
