Student Success Program - Preparatory Level

The preparatory courses are offered by the Conservatory as an aid for students who apply at the Baccalaureate level but who do not meet the minimum admission requirements established for the different specialties offered by the institution. These students are conditionally admitted to the institution. Having been admitted to this conditional remedial level does not constitute a right, but rather a privilege. The Conservatory expects maximum effort and dedication from the student classified in this category during this remedial period.

Students admitted under this classification may only be there for a maximum period of one year. The student who cannot enter the first-year high school level after the maximum time established for this category has elapsed will be dropped from the institution.

A student may be admitted to the Conservatory at the remedial level only once. If you withdraw from the institution during your remedial/preparatory period, you will not be able to be accepted again under this classification and to re-enter you will have to reach the first-year level of the specialty in the admission exams.

If the student obtains a Pass (&P) in their second semester of the remedial courses they are taking, they will automatically advance to the first year. Under no circumstances may you remain in remedial/preparatory for an additional semester. Partial withdrawals from remedial courses will not be allowed.
The repetition of the remedial preparatory music theory and instrument courses and preparatory seminar will not be paid for with federal financial aid funds.
