SPRING SEMESTER 2023 REGISTRATION GUIDE

MUSIC

NEW UNDERGRADUATE MUSIC STUDENTS

Refer to the School of Music website fullerton.edu/arts/music/ Opens in new window especially the tab for "Prospective Students," for information pertaining to auditions, testing, and advising. All prospective undergraduate music majors MUST audition on an instrument or voice and be accepted as music majors in order to register for music major classes. Students who have applied but have not yet been accepted to the university may still audition. Questions may be addressed to musicadmissions@fullerton.edu or (657) 278-3511.

NEW GRADUATE MUSIC STUDENTS

Diagnostic exams in music history and music theory will be given before the semester begins, the dates and
procedure to be announced. These diagnostic exams are evaluative in purpose and give the student and music
faculty an idea of a student's individual knowledge levels in these fields. Students will be provided with feedback about these exams with recommendations. Registration in
graduate coursework is by advisement with the Graduate Advisor, before the semester begins, and is based on the
results of the diagnostic exams and performance audition (if applicable). Students will be notified of any other
requirements by Area Coordinators (if applicable) before the semester begins. For inquiries contact the Graduate
Advisor, Dr. John Koegel, jkoegel@fullerton.edu.

UPPER-DIVISION WRITING
REQUIREMENT (UNDERGRADUATE)

The University requires that all students completing bachelor's degrees demonstrate writing ability acceptable for graduation. To meet the upper-division (e.g., 300 or 400 level) writing requirement, you must pass a specially designated upper-division "intensive writing course" or "thesis course" of at least three units, or pass two or more specially designated "complementary writing courses" for a total of at least six units. 

APPROVED UPPER-DIVISION WRITING COURSES

The University Writing Proficiency Committee certifies the course, or courses, that each major department designates to fulfill the upper-division writing requirement. Departments and programs may specify a single "intensive writing course" of at least three units, which has writing as its primary objective and involves thorough instruction in writing, two or more "complementary writing courses" (for a total of at least six units) in which you are required to write one or more lengthy papers or several shorter ones involving the organization and expression of complex ideas, or a "thesis course" (for a total of three
units), for which you produce a substantial written original work or individual research. In all of these courses, you will be given careful and timely evaluations of your writing and suggestions for improvement by your instructor. An assessment of your writing competence will be included in
determining your final course grade. You must pass these courses with a grade of C or better. Please consult your advisor to find what upper division writing courses are certified to fulfill the upper-division writing requirement in your major.

EXAMINATION

Effective May 25, 2012, the EWP was eliminated as a graduation requirement for the undergraduate degree at California State University, Fullerton. However, graduate students whose program requires the EWP must continue to take this exam.
The Junior-Level Examination in Writing Proficiency (EWP) consists of an essay.
For test dates and registration deadlines, check the Testing Center website: www.fullerton.edu/testing/ewpOpens in new window .
To register for the EWP, pick up the registration form from the Testing Center (GH- 143) and pay your fee at Student Business Services (GH- 180) by 5 p.m. on the registration deadline date. Your EWP Confirmation Ticket with test day information will be emailed to your campus email address approximately one week after the registration deadline.
Sabbath observers and students requiring special accommodations due to a documented disability must make special arrangements with the Test Center (GH-143) at least 4 weeks prior to the registration deadline.
If you are unable to attend the test session that you registered for, contact the Testing Center (657) 278-2288 at least 24 hours before the test date for transfer or test refund information.

GENERAL EDUCATION
REQUIREMENTS

General Education courses are required at CSUF as a necessary and integral part of your University education.
They are the foundation on which each and every major is built, and have been specifically designed to provide exposure to current thinking and scholarship. Students' success in the global socio-economic climate will be determined by the ability to research, analyze, and apply universally accepted principles in areas beyond those learned in their majors. These courses serve as the stepping stones to a lifetime of personal, professional, and academic growth.

UNIT REQUIREMENTS FOR GE FALL 2018 AND LATER

48-49 total units, including:

• 9 units upper division in designated areas B, C, and D
• 9 units in residence at CSU
• Each course counts in only one GE Area, except those meeting Overlay Z, Cultural Diversity

UNIT REQUIREMENTS FOR GE SPRING 2018
