When soliciting these letters, applicants should choose four people who can address different aspects of their professional background. At least one of the letters should come from an academic faculty member (theory, musicology, etc.) who knows the student’s academic work directly and another that can speak to the student's teaching ability. It is often helpful to provide each reference with a copy of one’s resume, transcript/s, and a short list that reminds the writer of the particular qualities and accomplishments that could be addressed in the letter. Transcript For review and decision purposes you are required to upload an unofficial copy of your transcript(s) in the online application. We require one copy of the scanned transcript from each undergraduate and graduate institution that you attended. This includes community colleges, summer sessions and extension programs. While credits from one institution may appear on the transcript of a second institution, unofficial transcripts must be submitted from each institution, regardless of the length of attendance, and whether or not courses were completed. Failure to list and submit transcripts from all institutions previously attended is considered to be a violation of academic ethics and may result in the cancellation of your admission or dismissal from the university. Follow the instructions for submitting an unofficial transcript here. ONLY after you are recommended for admission will you need to provide official transcripts.
