All undergraduate music majors must enroll in and pass six semesters of MUS 100R (Convocation) to graduate from Texas A&M University-Commerce with a baccalaureate degree in music. Convocations are scheduled Wednesdays at 4:00pm and consist of recitals and lectures. Transfer students must enroll in MUS 100R each semester until graduation, student teaching, or until four semesters have been passed (whichever comes first). The pass/fail grades for recital attendance are based on the number of recitals/concerts attended during each semester. Other requirements are described on the MUS 100R syllabus.

If you are asked to participate in a Convocation recital by your applied instructor, you must submit your information by Friday at 5pm the week before your performance. The form is available on the Student Resources page on the School of Music Website.
