CIM ACADEMICS
Regulations
Students are responsible for familiarity with CIM’s published regulations both in the CIM Catalog as
well as on-line policies and procedures and for knowing their individual scholastic standing through
reference to these regulations. Failure to read the CIM Catalog or CIM Student Handbook, which is
readily available at cim.edu, does not excuse students from the rules and procedures described therein.
Personal factors, illness, or contradictory advice from other sources are not acceptable grounds for
seeking exemption from the published rules and procedures. Students do, however, have the right to
petition for exceptions to regulations, and such requests should be addressed to the Dean.

12The entering DMA student, during his or her first year of study, has
qualifying status. During this period, the student must demonstrate
the capability to balance successfully the myriad components entailed
in pursuing doctoral study.Through close interaction with the major
teacher, the DMA Coordinator, and academic faculty (particularly
CWRU music history faculty), the student must demonstrate superior
time-management skills, scholarly writing skills, the ability to undertake
graduate research, and, most importantly, measurable progress in
his or her applied performance area.
At the end of the second semester of the qualifying year, the
DMA Committee reviews the progress of the student and
evaluates his or her assimilation into the program. If the DMA
Committee determines that the student has demonstrated the
ability to be successful, then the Committee recommends to the
Dean of the Conservatory that the student be advanced to Full
Academic Standing. Upon such recommendation, the Dean notifies
the student in writing of his or her promotion to Full Academic
Standing. Should a student not be advanced to Full Academic
Standing, then that student may be placed on Academic or Artistic
Probation, depending upon the area in which progress has been
insufficient to warrant promotion. To remain in satisfactory
academic standing and avoid being placed on academic probation,
DMA students must maintain a 3.0 grade-point average, receiving
no grades below “B” in applied lessons and no grade below “B-”
in all other courses. A student receiving a grade lower than “B-” in
any class is placed on academic probation until he or she
regains satisfactory academic standing.
Students must remain enrolled in their major area for the duration
of full-time study. For all DMA students, the maximum time between
enrollment as a DMA student and the completion of all degree
requirements is not to exceed six consecutive years. Note that
DMA students are not eligible for Leaves of Absence except in
extraordinary circumstances, as determined by the Dean of the
Conservatory. Students must be continually enrolled for a minimum
of one credit hour until all degree requirements have been met.
Students in performance must present four solo recitals, one
of which may be supported by a scholarly research document.
Students are assigned a document advisor for this project.
Advisors are assigned from appropriate CWRU Music Department
faculty or CIM Theory Department faculty.
In order to maintain correct sequencing, students may not give
the fourth performance recital until the document is completed.
In certain instances, and with approval of the major department,
a lecture-recital may be substituted for one of the recitals. A
recital performed in fulfillment of degree requirements cannot be
considered retroactively as a recital requirement for any other
degree or program. Students should work closely with faculty in
advance to ensure that recital content aligns appropriately with
degree expectations.
Students in composition must present a chamber music recital,
in which the composer participates as performer or conductor,
consisting of no less than 60 minutes of original music. Students
must submit a substantial research/analytical document, under
the supervision of an appointed document advisor, dealing with
some aspect of Twentieth-Century music, typically focusing on one
or several works by a single composer. The composition thesis
must be a major orchestral work of at least 15 minutes duration.
A thesis written for another large genre (such as opera or wind
ensemble) might be approved in lieu of an orchestral work, at the
discretion of the major teacher.
13All students must pass the Comprehensive Written Examinations regulation. In very limited cases, exceptions to allow a late arrival
