The College

Music students attending McNally Smith College of Music must pre-register each semester for their next semester's classes. Pre-registration is done during Student Advisement Week with the students' Department Head or Advisor. Student Advisement Week happens approximately 10 days after the mid-semester break.

Extra copies of the semester calendar are available at the front desk of the college or, for a list of important calendar dates, call the Enrolled Student Information Line at 651-291-0177, option #7, or 1-800-594-9500, option #7.

Add/Drop Period

After the start of the semester students may add or drop classes without penalty during the Add/Drop period. The Add/Drop period lasts 10 class days after the start of the semester.   After the Add/Drop period is over, students may still elect to drop classes but will receive a grade of "W" for withdrawal and will not be issued a refund for the class. To add a class after the Add/Drop period, students must get the approval of the instructor as well as their Department Head. Add/Drop forms must be completed by the student's Department Head and turned into the Office of the Registrar. Once your Add/Drop request has been processed a new schedule will be available for you at the front desk of the college. Add/Drop requests take 1-2 business days to process.

Class Schedules

New students' schedules are distributed at the beginning of each semester during Orientation. All students will receive a letter in the mail with the time and date of their Orientation. Returning students who miss their Orientation can access their schedules through their student SONIS page.
