Program Audit (PA)
As a student enrolled in a Bachelor of Music or Licentiate in Music program, you are given a program audit (PA) at time of admission.

The Schulich School of Music defers to the PA, instead of Minerva’s myProgress, when evaluating how close you are to graduation.
Log-in instructions to your PA can be found here.

For courses offered outside the Schulich School of Music, contact the department which offers the course to seek permission to register.
