Registration for classes

Students must register online during the registration periods listed in the Academic Calendar and pay tuition
according to the schedule of payments outlined in the School catalog. It is mandatory that all students meet with
an advisor before they are allowed to register online. Music students meet with an advisor in the Registrar's
Office. Dance and Drama students meet with advisors in their respective departments.
Beginning of Term Check-in Process

All students are expected to check-in before each term and begin classes as scheduled. Students must be
physically on campus to check-in online through web advisor. The process involves electronically signing a
Student Acknowledgement Form and verifying addresses and contact information. Returning students who
notify the Dean's Office of a late arrival and arrive on the notified day may be permitted to check-in but may be
subject to a late registration fee of $50. Returning students who arrive late without notification may be
permitted to check-in, but will be charged an additional late arrival penalty of $100. No returning student will be
permitted to arrive after the end of the Add-Drop period. Please note that new students are not permitted to
arrive late. Absences incurred by late arrival are considered unexcused unless the late arrival is due to an
approved professional leave from the Dean's Office.
Schedule Changes
Schedule changes may be made online through WebAdvisor during Add-Drop period only. The Add-Drop
period will be the first week of classes in each semester as listed in the Academic Calendar. All changes are
monitored by the Registrar's Office and may be cancelled at the Registrar's discretion. Dance and Drama
students may add/drop liberal arts classes online only. Schedule changes for dance and drama courses must
be made in person with their respective departments.
Page 17 of 203
Adding Classes
Classes may be added only during the Add-Drop period of a given semester. Students may not earn credits for
attendance in a class for which they are not officially registered. They are responsible for subject matter
already covered in any class to which they have been admitted late.
Dropping Classes
Classes may be dropped only during the Add-Drop period of a semester. After the Add-Drop period, students
may withdraw from non-required classes (grade of W recorded) through the 10th week of the semester.
Withdrawal forms will be available in the Registrars Office. All withdrawal forms must have the instructors
signature and must be turned in to the Registrars Office by the deadlines listed in the Academic Calendar. No
withdrawals will be allowed after these dates. No student may withdraw from a required course without the
permission of the Scholastic Standing Committee.
Change of Class Section

All requests for change of class section are subject to the same regulations as adding and/or dropping
classes.
Credit Limit
All students are expected to be full-time. A minimum course load of 12 credits per semester is considered full
time in all programs. International students must maintain a full-time course load to retain F-1 or J-1 student
status benefits.
The maximum normal credit load per semester is 23 credits. Any schedule containing more than 23 credits
per semester is considered an overload and must be approved by the registrar, dean of academic affairs, or
division director. Overloads dictated by curriculum requirements will be confirmed at the time of
registration.
Transfer Credit
Students enrolled in the bachelors degree programs may receive transfer credit for liberal arts electives.
Exemption from other requirements is evaluated only through placement examinations. Graduate students
are not eligible for transfer credit.
Secondary Applied Study

Students who wish to pursue studies in a secondary applied field must make application to the dean after
they arrive at Juilliard. There is an additional fee for secondary studies that entitles the student to 15 hours of
private instruction for the academic year. Students who wish to have 30 hours of private instruction for the
academic year will be assessed a higher fee.
Change of Program
Students who wish to change to a program of study other than the one to which they were officially admitted
or are currently registered must apply to the Scholastic Standing Committee. Applications are available in the
Registrars Office. There is a $25 application fee. Approved changes are certified in writing by the registrar.
Please note: Such changes must be for programs within the same academic level, i.e., undergraduate
programs (bachelors degree, diploma); graduate programs (masters degree, graduate diploma). All other
program changes are by audition and application is made through the Office of Admissions.
Grading System
The School awards credit for studies on the basis of regular attendance and satisfactory completion of all
assignments and examinations. At the close of each semester, grades are posted to WebAdvisor (see
Communicating with Students), and become part of the students permanent record. Students who wish to
receive a printed copy of their cumulative record should file a request in the Office of the Registrar. Studies
are classified in the following categories: major study, classroom, performance ensembles, and departmental
examinations (juries). Grades are recorded as follows:
Page 18 of 203
Credit Grades
A Honors
A-
B+
B High Pass
B-**
C+
C** Pass
C-
D Low Pass
P Pass
PX* Professional Excuse
CR Credit
U Unsatisfactory
* Performance grade only; by petition to the Dean. PX grades grant credit for approved off-campus
professional affiliations.
** At the masters level, classroom grades lower than C do not carry credit; at the doctoral level, classroom
grades lower than B- do not carry credit.
Non-Credit Grades
F Failure
IA Insufficient Attendance
I* Incomplete
W Withdrawn
X** Absent from Examination
NC No Credit
MX*** Medical Excuse
N No Grade Submitted
* I grades may only be received with prior permission of the instructor. Requirements must be completed no
later than four weeks following the end of the semester for which the incomplete was received; otherwise,
the grade will be recorded as a failure [IF]).
** X grades may only be received with prior permission of the instructor. The exam must be made up no later
than four weeks following the end of the semester for which the X was received; otherwise, the grade will be
recorded as a failure [XF].
*** Performance grade only; by petition to the Dean. MX grades grant a waiver of credit and are approved for
one semester only.
Note: Extensions may be granted by the Scholastic Standing Committee only upon instructor-approved
petition by the student. Under certain conditions, exceptions may be allowed for first-semester incompletes
in year-long skills-based courses. Please note that temporary grades (I and X) are not granted on the doctoral
level, except under extraordinary circumstances. Requests for temporary grades must be submitted to the
Doctoral Governance Committee by the class instructor. If the request is granted, the class instructor and the
Doctoral Governance Committee will establish a new deadline for completion of course work. This deadline will
generally fall within four to six weeks of the end of the semester in which the temporary grade was received.
Repeat Classes
Students who are permitted to continue along their curriculum track and who are obliged to repeat classes in
order to replace lost credit or to attain proficiency in certain skills or techniques do not violate the terms of
Page 19 of 203
satisfactory progress, because their work is still evaluated within the context of progression toward
graduation. Moreover, it is likely that repeat classes will take place during a period when the student is on
some form of official status, such as concern, warning, or probation.
With respect to all repeat courses, incompletes, withdrawals, and retakes, considerable care is taken in
individual advisement to assist students with suitable options for achieving their educational goals, including
but not limited to tutorials, summer study, and appropriately intensified course-loads. Grades received in
repeat classes do not remove or replace previous grades recorded in those courses.
Official Document Requests

Students may request transcripts online through the National Student Clearinghouse. Enrollment
Verifications are processed through Web Advisor. Current students may request copies of transcripts or
detailed enrollment verifications in-person from the Registrar's Office by filling out a form.
Grade Appeal Process

Every effort will be made to resolve grade appeals in a timely manner, to the extent possible, within the
semester in which the written appeal was received. The follow are the steps the student must take to file a
grade appeal:
1. Any question regarding the accuracy of a grade must be addressed, in writing, by the student to the
registrar within the add/drop period of the semester immediately following the semester in which the
grade was received. Grade appeals received later than this deadline will not be accepted for further
review.
2. The student will be advised to consult with the instructor in order to understand the computation of the
grade; the instructor will document this consultation in writing to the student and registrar.
3. If the student has further concerns, the next step is to consult with the department head. It is the
students responsibility to keep the registrar informed if the appeal proceeds beyond consultation with
the instructor.
Ultimate resolution, if warranted, rests with an administrative committee chaired by the provost and dean.
The student will receive a written response to the appeal at each appropriate stage. Copies of this
correspondence will be maintained in the students folder in the Registrars Office.
Classroom Studies (All Divisions)

Students are required to take all class examinations at the announced times. Permission to change the time
for a class examination must be obtained from the class instructor. An approved absence from a final
examination will result in the grade of X. The exam must be made up no later than four weeks following the
end of the semester for which the X was received; otherwise, the grade will be recorded as a failure (XF). See
Grading System for further regulations.
Students having difficulty with any classroom requirement are urged to speak with the instructor as soon as
possible. Dance students in the BFA degree program and all Drama students are cautioned that it is extremely
difficult to repeat a liberal arts course in which they fail to achieve a passing grade. Any student who has
received a non-credit grade and who wishes to remain in the BFA degree program should consult with the
registrar and chair of the Liberal Arts Department to determine whether there are suitable alternatives, such
as summer study, for replacing that lost credit.
Classroom Protocol
As a pre-professional institution with a mission to develop leaders in the performing arts, Juilliard expects its
students to observe the normal courtesies practiced by a society of mature and responsible persons. The
standards of the profession are in effect at Juilliard. (See Essential Elements of the Curriculum.)
Any classroom behavior that interferes with the instructors ability to teach or distracts from the
concentration of other students will not be tolerated. Such behavior may include: eating or drinking; talking
Page 20 of 203
to a neighbor in a disruptive manner; using electronic devices for nonacademic purposes, including a cell
phone; inappropriate language; physical violence of any kind; and arriving late and/or leaving early. If actions
detract from the learning of any other person in the class, the offender will be asked to leave class
immediately. If the student continues to be disruptive and does not leave the room after being clearly told to
do so, the teachers report to the dean will place the student on disciplinary probation, with the potential of
being dismissed from school after judicial review. (See also Code of Conduct.)
Attendance Policy for Classroom Courses

(Attendance policies for non-classroom courses may be found in their specific sections.)
Attendance is required for all classes and class-related activities and is factored into each students final
grade. In each semester, grades in courses meeting 1 time per week will be lowered to the next grade level
(i.e., A to A-, A- to B+, etc.) with each unexcused absence after the second, and grades in courses meeting two
or more times per week will be lowered to the next grade level (i.e., A to A-, A- to B+, etc.) with each
unexcused absence after the third. Attendance will be taken at the beginning of class. Any student who
arrives after attendance is taken will be marked late. Three late arrivals to class or early departures from
class constitute one unexcused absence.
Students will receive a grade of Insufficient Attendance (IA) if they accrue more than the following number of
excused or unexcused absences:
Courses meeting 1 time per week: 3 absences maximum (excused or unexcused).
Courses meeting 2 or more times per week: 6 absences maximum (excused or unexcused).
However, required absences for rehearsals for Juilliard orchestra, dance, drama, opera, and other major
productions (as indicated in official college requests sent to faculty members) are not counted toward the
maximum number of allowable absences cited above. On the other hand, absences for lessons, coachings, and
unofficial rehearsals are considered unexcused.
Students earning an IA will not receive academic credit for the course in question. Any student who has
missed three classes, whether excused or unexcused, will be issued an attendance warning notice indicating
that he or she is at risk of receiving an IA. The attendance warning notice will also be sent to the dean, the
Office of Academic Affairs, the registrar, and the students major teacher.
Professional Leave Forms (Yellow Forms) are issued and processed by the deans office. (For specific details
on Professional Leaves, please refer to the Student Handbook.) Decisions are based partially on comments by
classroom teachers, indicating whether a student is in good standing and whether class work can be made up.
Absences during approved professional leaves are considered excused. Excused absences for Professional
Leaves do not negatively impact a students grade, but they are counted in the maximum allowable absences
for the semester. Also, students with approved professional leaves or excused absences for official rehearsals
are responsible for all course material and assignments that they miss during their absence. It is the students
responsibility to consult the instructor about any missed work or assignments.
If a student anticipates absence from a class for a short-term professional obligation, the student must inform
the faculty member in advance of such absence. It is the faculty members prerogative to decide whether such
absence is excusable or not.
DMA students may not be absent from their courses more than twice during a semester, and their requests
for leaves must be sent to the Doctoral Governance Committee (rather than the Professional Leave Panel) for
approval.
Page 21 of 203
Early departures for or late returns from vacations, for any reasons including reduced travel cost, are not
considered valid excuses for missing class or rehearsal work. Students should plan to make reservations for
travel well in advance in order to take advantage of any reduced fares that may be available. Since Juilliard
vacations coincide with those of many other institutions, it may be necessary to do this several months before
your trip.
Absence Due to Illness or Injury

Students are responsible for attending all scheduled classes and rehearsals. Juilliard Health Services will NOT
provide excuse notes for routine illnesses or injuries that may lead to missed classes, rehearsals or
performances. Students who need to miss class due to illness/injury are encouraged to notify their teachers
and department offices prior to the absence. Please refer to your class syllabi and/or department handbooks
for absence policies. Health Services will issue a note stating only that a student has sought treatment for an
illness. To protect patient privacy, the note will not provide information about diagnosis or ability to attend
class. This note will not act as an excuse from class.
Cases of chronic illness or injury that result in absences from multiple classes, juries, orchestra rehearsals or
performances will be dealt with on an individual basis. Please consult your class syllabi and/or department
handbooks. If your condition is a disability requiring reasonable accommodations, it will be necessary to file
all required documents for qualifying as a student with a disability with the Office of Academic Support and
Disability Services.
English Proficiency
English proficiency (reading, writing, and speaking) is considered an essential skill for all students. Students
whose English proficiency is determined to be inadequate, will be expected to pass English I with a grade of
at least C+ in their first year of study. Students in the Master of Music degree program are expected to pass
English with a grade of at least B-. Students admitted to the Diploma or Graduate Diploma programs may be
required to take English 1 based on the results of the TOEFL exam, and will be expected to pass with a grade
of at least C+.
All students scheduled for English language classes are expected to take advantage of the free tutorials
available through the Writing and Communication Center. Selected students will be assigned mandatory
tutorials on a case-by-case basis. A few students will be required to take Musical Terms, a class designed to
help them gain proficiency in musical terminology and its American usage. In addition to the regular
evaluation by the Scholastic Standing Committee (as described above), the progress of all students in all
English and terminology classes is monitored by the English Affairs/English as a Second Language (E.S.L.)
Committee comprised of the following personnel: the faculty who teach those classes, the director of liberal
arts; the director of international advisement; the registrar; and the associate dean for academic affairs. This
committee meets in September, December, and April.
Tutorials
Students in need of specialized academic assistance in order to support classroom studies may be assigned to
one-on-one tutorials. Such assignments are overseen by the Scholastic Standing Committee and the Offices of
Academic Affairs and Academic Support Services in conjunction with the department chair and/or instructor.
Additional feels may be assessed. Attendance at assigned tutorials is mandatory.
Required tutorials are also assigned in the Writing and Communication Center to support academic standards
in the Liberal Arts core curriculum. These tutorials are made on a semester-by-semester basis, and normally
require 10 hourly sessions. It is expected that a minimum of five (5) hours will take place by midterm so that
the student's skills may be developed incrementally over a reasonable period of time.
Standards of Academic Integrity

Academic integrity is at the center of all educational processes at The Juilliard School. Academic misconduct
and dishonesty undermine the integrity of teaching and learning in our community. Such cases are taken
Page 22 of 203
seriously and will be resolved in a fair and consistent manner. All members of the Juilliard community should
serve as models of honest and truthful behavior, be aware of the standards of academic integrity, and work to
eliminate situations that could result in academic misconduct. Students are strongly encouraged to avail
themselves of the offices and services created to assist them in coping with the stress and rigor of The Juilliard
School. These include Academic Affairs, Academic Support Services, Writing and Communication Center,
International Advisement, Health and Counseling Services, Liberal Arts, Library, Registrar, and Student
Affairs.
Definitions of Academic Misconduct and Dishonesty

Academic misconduct and dishonesty encompass all classroom, studio, and performance work and includes
but is not limited to: plagiarism, unauthorized use of materials or resources (cheating), prohibited
collaboration or consultation, use of fabricated or falsified information, interference with or sabotage of
academic activity, unauthorized taking or receipt of materials or resources to gain an academic advantage,
unauthorized recordings, bribery, submission of paper or academic work purchased or obtained from an
outside source, and conspiracy to commit academic dishonesty. For more information and definitions of
academic misconduct and dishonesty, please read the Student Code of Conduct.
Academic Conduct Committee and Adjudication Process

The Academic Conduct Committee supervises the investigation of academic misconduct reports. The
committee members may include the provost and dean, associate dean of academic affairs, vice president for
library and information resources, dean of student affairs, director of the Interdivisional Liberal Arts
Department, chair of the Music Theory and Analysis Department, and chair of the Music History Department.
The Academic Conduct Committee will refer academic misconduct cases involving doctoral students to the
Doctoral Governance Committee for the adjudication and/or appeals process and recommendations of
sanctions.
Records
The Office of Academic Affairs will maintain all records of academic misconduct.
Scholastic Standing and Satisfactory Academic Progress

In developing its philosophy of scholastic standing and methods of measuring satisfactory academic progress,
The Juilliard School has been obliged to consider carefully the unique nature of the educational and artistic
process at the School as well as the unique development of each individual student. Students in the
performing arts who are admitted to The Juilliard School begin their School-level studies with a commitment
to a specific art form and in most cases are highly trained and disciplined at the outset of their studies.
Therefore, the qualitative evaluation of their potential for graduation in the particular curriculum track
begins in the first year. Requirements for graduation are published annually in the Juilliard catalog, and
described by course, credit, and normal residency for each individual curriculum. Quantitative evaluation is
set against those published guidelines. While Juilliard computes a traditional grade point average (G.P.A.) by
semester and cumulatively, the School does not attempt to rank its students by class level or department.
Note: Students in the Doctor of Musical Arts program are further bound by guidelines published in the annual
Doctoral Requirements, Procedures and Calendar memo, issued and distributed in July by the vice
president for library and information resources and administrative coordinator of the Doctoral Governance
Committee.
The educational programs of The Juilliard School, including academic standards and regulations governing
satisfactory progress, are supervised by the associate dean for academic affairs.
Scholastic Standing Review Process

The Scholastic Standing Committee monitors overall scholastic standing and academic progress at The
Juilliard School. Comprised of the provost and dean, vice president of enrollment management and student
development, dean of student affairs, associate dean for academic affairs, associate dean and director of the
music division, assistant dean of chamber music, assistant dean of orchestral studies, director of international
Page 23 of 203
advisement, registrar, director of disability services and associate registrar, , and manager of the deans
office. The committee meets on a quarterly basis, and at other times as needed, to review the academic status
of all students. When appropriate, representatives from Dance, Drama, Jazz, Vocal Arts, Liberal Arts, and
Historical Performance will join this committee. On occasion, further consultations take place with individual
faculty and/or department chairs, as well as with the Doctoral Governance Committee. In addition to the
monitoring of student academic progress, the committee also serves to develop and implement policy,
receive and consider student appeals and petitions, and arbitrate faculty-student issues as they relate to
curriculum and attendance requirements.
Based on midterm reports and end-of-semester grade rosters solicited by and submitted to the registrar, the
committee monitors both the quantitative progress and qualitative performance of all students in all
programs. In all cases, the quantitative and qualitative evaluation is measured against the standards in each
curriculum track (i.e., each major field at the undergraduate and graduate level) which constitute the
institutions requirements for graduation.
Extension-of-program requests are evaluated carefully by the Scholastic Standing Committee on a case-by-
case basis; eligibility for financial aid, housing, and/or visa extensions is part of this evaluation. Doctoral
students are expected to complete their full-time residency in two years, with final document submission and
defense within the succeeding three years (for a maximum total of five years of matriculation).
All students are entitled to petition for matriculation status beyond these normal expectations. Dance and
Drama students would direct such petitions to their respective division director. Music students, with the
exception of those in the doctoral program, would address the dean in care of the Scholastic Standing
Committee. Doctoral students would direct such a petition to the Doctoral Governance Committee.
In general, all undergraduates are expected to complete a minimum of 20 credits by the end of the first year;
44 by the end of the second year; and 72 by the end of the third year. At the end of each academic year, all
students are evaluated to determine if they are completing successfully all attempted credits.
All students are admitted to Juilliard for full-time study only. For a clarification of full-time status, see Credit
Limit. Exceptions may be found in two instances: for music students in the final semester of study when only
a graduation jury or recital remains (at which time they must be registered for major lessons); and for
doctoral students who have completed the two-year full-time residency and are continuing as non-residents.
Other rare exceptions may be approved on a case-by-case basis by the provost and dean, and associate dean
for academic affairs.
In all disciplines, the faculty are instructed to evaluate with particular rigor the performance of students
completing their second year of undergraduate studies, including all grades, public performances, and, in
music, their end-of-year jury examinations, to determine whether they are meeting the technical standards of
their departments and are eligible to continue into the final upper class years which will culminate in
graduation. In keeping with an advanced level of training music students in graduate programs are held to a
higher standard of achievement and professionalism in all studies.
Scholastic Standing Meeting Calendar

The Scholastic Standing Committee meets at least once at the beginning and close of each semester:
Fall semester: September, November, and December/January
Spring semester: January, March, and May/June
Note: The Scholastic Standing Committee does not evaluate the artistic and professional development of
dance or drama majors, nor does it assess the overall progress of students in the Doctor of Musical Arts or
Artist Diploma programs. Those reviews are conducted by the respective faculty and/or divisional entities
designed for those purposes.
Page 24 of 203
Student Status
Students begin their studies at Juilliard in good standing and are expected to maintain that status throughout
their programs of study at the School. Should a students progress fall below departmental standards with
respect to any aspect of the qualitative and quantitative review described above, the student will receive
written notification of a change in enrollment status (concern, warning, or probation) as described below.
Copies of such notifications are routinely shared with the provost and dean and associate dean for academic
affairs, the primary teacher or division head, the registrar, the vice president for enrollment management and
student development, and, where applicable, the director of international advisement. In many cases, a
personal conference with an appropriate school official will be part of the notification process.
Concern/Warning
If a student receives a grade lower than the required minimum in secondary subjects (i.e., subjects outside
the major or performance studies), s/he may receive a letter of concern or warning. Such a letter is
normally issued at the close of the semester, but may be issued at any time during the academic year. A
warning indicates a severe lapse in academic performance nearly warranting probationary status. Letters
of concern are sent by the registrar; letters of warning by associate dean for academic affairs. If a student
receives such a letter, that students record will be reviewed again at the close of the succeeding semester.
Probation
A student may be placed on probation at any time for significant problems in meeting the artistic, technical,
and/or professional requirements of their major field of study (for Music students, this would be for doing
work below the B- level (undergraduates) and the B level (graduates) in the major, performance classes, or
jury examinations; for repeated failures in a secondary subject or subjects; for multiple failures or non-credit
grades in a given term; for an unprofessional attitude toward class attendance or for a serious breach of the
Essential Elements of the Curriculum.
Music students with the exception of those at the doctoral level, are notified of probationary status in a letter
from the dean. This notification is usually preceded by a personal conference with the dean. Doctoral
students receive consultations with members of the Doctoral Governance Committee as well as written
notification from the committee. If the terms of the probation are not met, students lose their eligibility for
financial aid and are subject to dismissal.
Students in the Dance and Drama Divisions placed on concern, warning, or probationary status will receive a
letter detailing:
1. The conditions which incurred probationary status;
2. The duration of probationary status (i.e., semester or academic year);
3. The precise improvements necessary to remove probationary status.
This notification is usually preceded by a personal conference with the director of the Division, as
appropriate. If the terms of the probation are not met, students lose their eligibility for financial aid and are
subject to dismissal.
Students placed on probation for qualitative or quantitative reasons are expected to meet the minimum
standards for their course of study within the normal timeframe as presented by the School. Although there
are occasional exceptions to this time sequence, it should be understood that Juilliard believes strongly that
the education of the performing artist is a sequential series of instructional experiences which do not lend
themselves to extensions of the normal time frame as determined by the School.
Appropriate review of student status takes place as described above. Students removed from probation are
so informed, usually in writing, by the individual who wrote the original notification of probationary status.
Dismissal
Students who do not meet Juilliards standards may, at the Schools discretion, be subject to dismissal.
Such action may be posted on the students permanent record. Undergraduate students who do not receive
Page 25 of 203
credit in a required classroom course after a maximum of three attempts are subject to dismissal; graduate
students who do not receive credit for a course after a maximum of two attempts are subject to dismissal. A
student may be asked to withdraw because of a serious inability to meet the Essential Elements of the
Curriculum. A student may also be asked to withdraw at any time if her or his attitude or conduct conflicts
with the standards of the School, or if, by remaining, s/he endangers her/his own health or the health of
others. Acts of cheating and vandalism are dismissible offenses (see Standards of Academic Integrity).
Students who are dismissed are generally notified in a personal conference with the dean or appropriate
division director, as well as in writing by the respective head. Doctoral students are notified by the chair of
the Doctoral Governance Committee.
Standards of Fairness/Student Rights

Please read Student Rights within the Student Code of Conduct section.
Appeal Process
Should a students ability to maintain satisfactory progress be hampered by mitigating circumstances, such as
a personal family crisis, an injury or illness of the student, or other extraordinary reason, the School will
recognize a period (not longer than one academic year) of forbearance. During that period, the student may
be approved for a leave of absence, or permitted to continue on a reduced schedule.
The Scholastic Standing Committee (Dance, Drama, or Doctoral Governance entities) will review the students
situation at the end and, as appropriate, during the designated period. Should the student be dismissed due to
unsatisfactory academic progress, that student has the right to appeal in writing to the dean or appropriate
division head on the basis of mitigating circumstances (as described above). If the appeal is positively
reviewed, the student will be readmitted and, if applicable, regain eligibility for federal and/or state financial
assistance. Such readmission is confirmed in writing by the dean or appropriate division head.
Readmitted and Transfer Students

For the purposes of this section, readmitted student refers to students who are readmitted to a program of
study following a hiatus prompted by a leave, withdrawal, or dismissal. Transfer student refers to those
students who are transferring from another institution into an undergraduate program. Juilliard makes every
effort to place readmitted and transfer students into the appropriate level of their curriculum track, i.e., the
most educationally sound point of entry vis--vis expected date of graduation in the major field of study. Such
determination is made according to an evaluation of possible transfer credits, placement exam results, and,
most importantly, proficiency in the major area.
Requests to Leave School

A leave of absence is a temporary interruption of one's studies at Juilliard, for a period of one or two
consecutive semesters. Leaves for longer than two consecutive semesters are generally not approved. A
meeting with the provost and dean is required.
A leave of absence enables a student to return to Juilliard and resume studies without reapplying for
admission or re-auditioning, although other re-enrollment conditions may apply. Please note that your
grades (if applicable), class standing, and anticipated graduation date may be impacted depending upon when
you take the leave. A student may or may not be eligible for a partial tuition or room and board refund
depending on the effective date of the leave of absence. For more information, contact the Finance Office.
Because a leave may affect continued eligibility for assistance, students who receive financial aid or
scholarship are required to meet with a counselor in the Financial Aid Office prior to taking a leave of
absence. International students are required to meet with the director of international advisement to discuss
the impact of a leave on visa status and eligibility to remain in the United States.
Students granted a leave of absence are not permitted to reside in the Residence Hall, participate in student
activities, or be on campus, other than for public performances, for the duration of their leave. Students who
do not adhere to this policy jeopardize their eligibility to return to Juilliard. If you have any questions about
this policy, please contact the office of the provost and dean or the associate dean for academic affairs.
Page 26 of 203
There are four types of leave:
Personal Leave of Absence
Professional Leave of Absence
Medical Leave of Absence
Leave at the Request of the School
Personal Leave
A personal leave of absence allows you to interrupt your studies at Juilliard for one or two semesters with the
approval of the provost and dean. A personal leave may be taken for financial reasons or to attend to a family
crisis, among other reasons. If you are contemplating a personal leave, you must make an appointment to
meet with the provost and dean as soon as possible. In some cases, there may be other options available to
you, and a discussion of your plans and needs may be helpful. The dean will provide you with a Leave of
Absence Packet including an Application for Leave of Absence or Withdrawal which must be completed along
with the Personal Statement. If your leave is approved, the dean will specify important procedures,
conditions and deadlines for returning to School.
Professional Leave: Short Term Professional Leave

Students must formally request a short-term professional leave when missing six or more consecutive class
days for a professional opportunity outside of school. A Professional Leave Request form must be submitted
to the Provost and deans Office as early as possible before signing a professional contract, and at least six
weeks before the intended absence. Supporting documents which clarify the professional significance of the
performance opportunity or audition will be critical in the review process. A Professional Leave Panel of
faculty members and administrators will meet to evaluate requests. The form will be circulated to each of the
students studio and classroom teachers with two options for the teachers response:
1) request for leave of absence approved;
2) request denied, with explanation (e.g. work cannot be made up, class standing is already at risk, etc.).
After this procedure is complete, the student will be notified in writing whether the request was approved or
denied. Any approved request will be regarded by class teachers as an excused absence, exempting the
student from negative grading consequences; however, approved short term professional leave absences
count toward the number of allowable absences during a semester, as outlined in the "Attendance Policy for
Classroom Courses". Any request not approved by the Panel may result in lowering of grades if the student is
absent.
Absences of five or fewer consecutive class days do not require the completion of a Professional Leave Form,
and therefore cannot officially be excused by the administration. The student will communicate directly with
each class teacher, who will determine if the absence may be excused. Voice students should request
permission for any absence from the Administrative Director of Vocal Arts at least four weeks in advance.
DMA students should consult guidelines from the Doctoral Governance Committee.
Professional Leave: Long Term Professional Leave

Students may formally request a long term leave for professional opportunities for up to two semesters. In
order to take a leave of absence, you must be in good academic standing. A meeting with the provost and
dean is required. The dean will provide you with a Leave of Absence Packet including an Application for
Leave of Absence or Withdrawal which must be completed along with the Personal Statement. If your leave is
approved, the dean will specify important procedures, conditions and deadlines for returning to School.
Medical Leave
A medical leave of absence may be authorized if, due to documented incapacitating health problems, whether
psychological or physical, you become unable to participate in classes and/or performance activities. Medical
Leave time does not count toward the deadlines listed in the catalogue for completion of programs of study.
If you require a medical leave, you should make an appointment to meet with the provost and dean as soon as
possible. The dean will provide you with a Leave of Absence Packet including the Application for Leave of
Page 27 of 203
Absence or Withdrawal, an Authorization for Release of Protected Health Information and a Personal
Statement, all of which must be completed in order for your request to be processed. For a medical leave of
absence to be authorized, you must also provide a letter from a health care professional, physician or
therapist recommending a medical leave. SPECIAL NOTE FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS: You must
provide a letter from a licensed medical doctor, doctor of osteopathy, or licensed clinical psychologist.
Returning from a medical leave of absence requires approval by the provost and dean. Students will receive a
detailed letter with re-enrollment conditions within four weeks of the date of the request for leave. Every
students situation is unique. The length of the leave, the requirements that must be met prior to return and
the students readiness to return to a full program will be determined by the provost and dean after
consultation with the student and a careful consideration of the recommendations of the health professionals.
Leave at the Request of the School

An involuntary leave may be necessary when, after an individualized assessment taking in all of the relevant
facts, including observed behavior and the best medical advice available, the School receives compelling
information leading School officials to conclude that:
1) a students behavior threatens the safety, health, and well-being of the community; or
2) a students behavior disrupts the learning environment; or
3) the students ability to function safely and successfully at Juilliard has been severely compromised; or
4) there is a significant risk that the student will harm him/her-self and the risk cannot be reduced through
support services and/or through reasonable accommodation(s).
Prior to making a determination that an involuntary leave is necessary, the dean of student affairs and/or the
associate dean for academic affairs may inform the student that he or she must undergo a mandatory health
assessment with an outside qualified, licensed medical provider at the Schools expense. All reasonable
efforts will be made to meet with the student and the School may contact the students parents, if it is deemed
appropriate.
Although Juilliard offers a wide range of on-campus services and off-campus medical referrals, when a student
is unable or unwilling to take a voluntary leave, the School may require an emergency involuntary
leave of absence if reasonable modifications to Juilliards programs or practices will not sufficiently mitigate
the risk of harm or the disruption, and/or the level of care necessary for that student exceeds the level of care
that Juilliard can reasonably provide.
If the student is determined to meet any of the criteria in items 1 4 above, and the student decides not to
take a voluntary leave or if the student refuses to participate in a mandatory health assessment, the dean of
student affairs and/or the associate dean of academic affairs will inform the student in writing that he or she
has been placed on an involuntary medical leave. Students have the right to submit an appeal. The School
reserves the right to require an emergency interim separation from school and housing pending the result of
an independent evaluation or an appeal. All appeals will be heard by the provost and dean or his/her
designee. The student will be notified of a final determination within two (2) business days of the provost
and deans (or his/her designees) hearing of the appeal or receipt of a written request for appeal setting
forth the students reasons why a mandatory leave should not be imposed.
Returning from an involuntary leave of absence requires approval by the provost and dean. If applicable,
students will receive a detailed letter with re-enrollment conditions within six weeks of the date of the leave.
Every students situation is unique. The length of the leave, the requirements that must be met prior to
return and the students readiness to return to a full program will be determined by the provost and dean
after consultation with the student and a careful consideration of the recommendations of the health
professionals.
Page 28 of 203
Withdrawal
Withdrawal constitutes termination of a students enrollment status with The Juilliard School. A desire to
return to School following withdrawal requires application for readmission through the Admissions Office.
Leave of Absence Eligibility

A leave of absence may be approved for long-term professional opportunities, as well as medical,
educational, financial, or personal reasons;
For information on short-term professional leaves, please see the Request to Leave School section within
the handbook;
Students may be required to submit documentation, such as a professional contract or confirmation
letter, for professional leaves (as specified by the provost and dean);
Requests for medical leaves must be accompanied by official documentation from the students licensed
treating professional (as specified in the Application for Leave of Absence or Withdrawal);
Academic standing may be a factor in the approval of a non-medical leave of absence. (A student who is
on probation, for example, who has a compelling reason to leave school, may be advised to withdraw.);
Eligibility for a leave of absence may be further governed by specific departmental policies, including but
not limited to: conditions of return and class placement.
NOTE: Students are generally not approved for more than two semesters of leave during a give program of
study. Students who need to take more than two semesters worth of leave may be advised to withdraw. As
noted earlier, a desire to return to the School following withdrawal requires application for readmission
through the Admissions Office.
Special Reminders
Leaves of absence must be approved by the provost and dean; there are no unofficial leaves.
Approved leaves are confirmed in writing to the student by the provost and dean; that letter will specify
important procedures and deadlines for returning to the School.
Students must return all School-owned property, including, but not limited to, library materials,
instruments on loan, scores, etc.
Juilliard email accounts remain active for all students on leave. Because official Juilliard communication is
often sent to students Juilliard email addresses, students on leave are expected to check their accounts on
a regular basis to ensure that they do not miss important communications from the School.
Students on leave do not retain the privileges of fully enrolled students. Such privileges include, but are
not limited to, access to the library, computer lab, Health and Counseling Services, fitness center, practice
rooms, academic and performance studies and activities, and employment at the School.
Students who have a balance owing on their account will need to make arrangements to resolve that
balance as soon as possible. Academic transcripts will be placed on hold until the balance is resolved.
Students with a balance owed to the School will be restricted from registering for classes in a future
semester.
Students who receive any type of financial aid or scholarship are required to meet with a counselor in the
Financial Aid Office to understand how a leave will affect their continued eligibility for financial
assistance, as well as any requirements of specific types of aid, such as loan repayment.
Students who live in the residence hall are subject to the terms of their housing contract.
International students are required to meet with the director of international advisement to discuss how
a leave of absence will affect their visa status and eligibility to remain in the U.S.
Students should also consult with Health Services on how the leave will impact their student health
insurance.

Email: oass@juilliard.edu
The Juilliard School Office of Academic Support and Disability Services (O.A.S.D.S.) provides focused
services for students with disabilities, low-income students, first generation students, students who are
academically underprepared for School, and students typically underrepresented in higher education. The
goal of these specialized services is to maximize the academic success and persistence to graduation of all
students.
General Support Services

In keeping with its mission to provide students with the educational, professional, social, and emotional
foundation necessary for them to embark on successful careers and productive lives as artists, leaders, and
citizens, The Juilliard School is committed to maintaining an artistic community that is geographically,
economically, and ethnically diverse. The O.A.S.D.S. contributes to this mission by focusing on the needs of
individual students and offering academic support, special advising, and other services, with the goal of
helping students maximize their learning opportunities and assisting them in their personal growth.
Students who are experiencing academic difficulties are encouraged to contact the director of disability
services and associate registrar.
Services for Students with Disabilities

The Juilliard School is dedicated to helping students with permanent or temporary disabilities to meet the
academic and performance challenges of a conservatory education. The Office of Academic Support and
Disability Services works in partnership with students, faculty and administrators to create inclusive and
sustainable learning environments. The office facilitates access, discourse, and involvement through
innovative services, programs, and collaboration.
O.A.S.D.S. is the central point of contact for information on physical and programmatic access, specific
accommodations, faculty and staff concerns, and identification of available services. This office will
coordinate the provision of appropriate accommodations and/or academic adjustments on an individual
basis for students with disabilities who identify themselves to O.A.S.D.S., provide adequate documentation
of their disability and need for accommodation, request services and complete required forms as needed.
In addition, training, consultation, and information regarding disability issues is provided.
Students with disabilities may visit the O.A.S.D.S page on the Juilliard website for specific information about
obtaining services. The Juilliard School complies with all federal ADA regulations. For more information
about the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), please visit www.ada.gov.
Information for Students with Disabilities

Applying for an Accommodation
1) Students must request status as a student with a disability by identifying themselves to O.A.S.D.S.
(This includes signing release forms.)
2) Students then supply documentation of a disabling condition from a qualified medical practitioner that
specifically identifies the type of disability, describes the current level of functioning in an academic
setting, and lists recommended accommodations.
3) Students must arrange for the details of the accommodation with the director of disability services and
associate registrar and the faculty in a timely fashion (ideally four weeks before the start of each
semester). Special housing accommodations will be made based upon available space.
Page 30 of 203
SAMPLE ACCOMMODATIONS (for students who qualify):
Adjusted test time and type Specific classroom placement
Scripts in advance Audiobooks
Comprehensive academic advising
Confidentiality Policy
All documentation related to a disability, including correspondence, accommodation requests, reports, and
accommodation records, is considered confidential. We will not release any such records or identifying
information to any outside entity without the students specific written permission, except in the case of a
court order. Written or oral disclosure of specific disability-related information by the O.A.S.D.S. staff
(including Disability Support Services Committee members) to School staff and faculty on a need-to-know-
basis may be made only with the students written permission.
Student requests for accommodations on the basis of a disability and the related medical or other verifying
documentation are maintained by O.A.S.D.S., separate from the student's education record. Faculty and staff
directly involved with a student with a disability may have access to some of this information on a strict
need-to-know basis in order to assist in providing accommodations. Faculty and staff must not make
reference to a students disability in front of other students or discuss a students disability with anyone not
officially designated by O.A.S.D.S. as a legal recipient of information about a students disability. All questions
or concerns about students with disabilities must first be directed to O.A.S.D.S.
Disability Grievance Procedure Complaints Against Employees of The Juilliard School

In the event a student believes that the procedures described in the Student Disability Policy have not been
followed properly or feels that any action has been directed against him or her because of a disability or
perception of a disability by a School faculty or staff member, the student has the option of resolving the
matter informally or immediately filing a formal grievance.
Informal Procedure: To resolve the matter informally, the student should first meet with the vice president
for enrollment management and student development to see if the matter can be resolved. If the student
chooses to file a formal grievance, the following steps should be followed:
Formal Procedure: A student who wishes to file a formal grievance may do so in writing with the vice
president for enrollment management and student development. If the grievance involves the actions of the
vice president for enrollment management and student development, disability services, or any office he or
she supervises or manages, an impartial school committee shall investigate the grievance. All other grievances
shall be investigated and reviewed by the vice president for enrollment management and student
development. The purpose of the review is to determine whether or not school policy has been followed and,
if not, to address the consequences that may have resulted and shall be corrected. Information relevant to the
matter may be requested from the involved parties. The vice president will promptly undertake an
investigation and provide a written finding to the student upon completion of the review.
A student who makes use of the grievance procedure shall not be retaliated against for doing so. A student
may choose another student or faculty/staff persons to accompany him/her through the steps of the
procedure. A student who believes that a grievance has not been resolved to his or her satisfaction after a
review is conducted may appeal the outcome to the dean. Such appeal shall be in writing and signed by the
student. The dean may form a committee of objective school staff and/or faculty, which shall make a
determination on the appeal and inform the student in writing of that determination.
Written Grievance Requirement

The student shall file a formal grievance within 90 calendar days after the complainant becomes aware of the
alleged violation. The complaint shall contain the name and address of the person filing it and a brief
description of the alleged violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act or of Section 504 of the
Page 31 of 203
Rehabilitation Act of 1973 or other appropriate law. The complaint should specify the date(s) of any
alleged violation. All discrimination grievances which request an individual remedy must carry the
signature of the grievant authorizing investigation of the issue(s). Those which anonymously allege
discrimination will be reviewed as time permits. Disability Grievance Forms are available in the Office of
Academic Support and Disability Services.
1) The official to whom the complaint is submitted shall convene a committee within two weeks of
receiving the complaint unless prohibited by unusual circumstances.
2) The committee shall hear testimony or receive written testimony from the student, the relevant faculty
or staff member(s), and other knowledgeable people. The student has the right to ask for testimony
from any faculty or staff whom he or she deems relevant to the case. These rules anticipate informal but
thorough investigations, affording an interested person and their representative notice and an
opportunity to be heard and to submit evidence relevant to the complaint.
3) After hearing testimony and/or reviewing pertinent documents, the committee will report its
conclusions in writing to the complainant and all other relevant parties within five working days. The
decision of the committee is final.
Complaints against Students

If a student believes that he/she is a victim of discrimination or harassment by another student because of
a disability, he/she may initiate a grievance procedure by contacting one of the following School
representatives as appropriate:
The vice president for enrollment management and student development
The dean of student affairs
Students should consult the Code of Conduct for more information about grievance procedures and the
adjudication of formal complaints.
Rights of Grievant
Federal and state laws protect every person who files a discrimination grievance or who assists in the
investigation in any way from acts of retaliation. Confidentiality of files and information will be maintained
in accordance with federal and state law. It is the philosophy of this office that the most effective
resolutions depend on informal contacts with the individuals involved.
Rights of the School and Individual Respondents

Since the purpose of the investigation is to determine the facts surrounding the grievance and develop
possible a solution, communication with those named in the grievance is essential. Complete statements of
facts and response to concerns outlined in the grievance will be sought from all persons with relevant
information. Remedies may include an oral or written reprimand, suspension, dismissal, or other action.
Also, changes in policy or reconsideration of actions may be initiated. This list is by no means exhaustive.

Phone: 212-799-5000 ext. 298
Email: Engagement@juilliard.edu
The Office of Community Engagement provides instructional opportunities to Juilliard students in Dance,
Drama, and Music, epitomizing our institutions commitment to sharing the arts with the community. By
engaging in classroom teaching and interactive performances, Juilliard students gain the foundations
necessary to embark on successful careers and productive lives as artists, leaders, and citizens. Community
Engagement programs benefit audiences throughout the five boroughs of New York City, bringing the joy of
the performing arts to the wider community. Community Engagement programs award Juilliard student
fellows a competitive stipend.
Teaching Fellowships
The Morse Teaching Artist Fellowship is a traditional, year-long teaching artist residency in a New York City
partner school. Morse Teaching Artist Fellows provide aesthetic education and skills-based (applied music)
instruction to students in grades 2-12, and include an interactive performance component.
In the aesthetic music education model, the Morse Teaching Artist Fellows collaborate with their
partnering classroom teacher and prepare weekly lessons that integrate music education into the regular
classroom curriculum. Fellows are encouraged to include interactive performance within their semester
or year-long plans. Juilliard students that are considering a career as a professional teaching artist or that
wish to teach music in a classroom setting are strongly encouraged to apply.
In the applied teaching model, Morse Teaching Artist Fellows offer weekly instrumental group lessons to
students at NYC partner schools. The Fellows introduce basic technique and music theory concepts, and
prepare their students for an end-of-year concert. Teaching in a group setting offers Fellows an opportunity
to work on their classroom management skills as well as their pedagogical skills. Students who are
interested in teaching lessons in a school setting and experiencing the culture of the New York City
education system are encouraged to apply. The Morse Fellowship Program receives funding from Mr. and
Mrs. Lester S. Morse Jr.
The Concert Fellowship is an integral part of Juilliard's Young People's Concert (YPC) series, a series of
interactive concerts offered through the Office of Community Engagement. Fourth grade classes from NYC
partner schools attend five YPC concerts at Juilliard performed by a chamber group or small ensemble.
Concert Fellows deepen the children's experience of what they see and hear at the concert by visiting their
classroom once before the concert to introduce the material and concepts the students will experience, and
once following the concert to follow-up. In order to prepare appropriate lesson plans, Concert Fellows
work closely with YPC performers and attend the YPC concerts themselves.
The Arts Enrichment Fellowship Program's mission is to expose economically disadvantaged children to
the joy of the performing arts. Working in partnership with the New York City public schools and
community organizations, Fellows facilitate outreach activities specific to the needs of the partnering
organization. Past Fellows' activities have included teaching instrumental lessons, assisting in dance
technique classes, teaching a class on instrument construction, facilitating a series of Shakespeare
workshops, and leading a senior citizens' choir. Students who are interested in collaborating with a
community based partner organizations are strongly encouraged to apply. The Arts Enrichment Fellowship
Program receives generous funding from Beth and Christopher Kojima.
The Music Advancement Program (MAP) Fellowship offers Juilliard students a glimpse into the world of
teaching for a conservatory-like music program. As faculty members for Juilliard's Music Advancement
Program (MAP), a Saturday instrument instruction program administered by the Office of Educational
Outreach (see program description below), MAP Fellows teach weekly private instrument lessons, other
Page 39 of 203
classes such as technique, music theory, and ear training, and lead small and large ensembles. Fellows also
serve as mentors to their private MAP students, collaborate with MAP faculty and staff on program
development, and complete other tasks as required. Students with prior teaching experience who wish to
strengthen their studio skills are strongly encouraged to apply. The Music Advancement Program is
generously supported through an endowed gift in memory of Carl K. Heyman.
Combining Literacy Instruction with Musical Beginnings (CLIMB) is a literacy and arts program for the
siblings, ages 4-10, of students in MAP (see above). Working in small teaching groups, CLIMB leaders lead a
two-hour session each Saturday with hands-on activities that stress phonics and reading comprehension
while providing a fun introduction to classical music and performing arts. Juilliard students that wish to
gain more teaching experience or work with younger children are strongly encouraged to apply.
Interactive Performance Fellowships

Gluck Community Service Fellowship (GCSF)
The Gluck Community Service Fellowship Program presents more than 450 interactive Dance, Drama,
Classical Music, and Jazz performances at more than 45 New York City health care facilities each academic
year. GCSF Fellows (student initiated groups) present a minimum of 12 performances each year, free of
charge, to metropolitan hospitals, nursing homes, and alternative care facilities. The Juilliard students
experiences in the Gluck Community Service Fellowship Program inform their performing careers and
support the development of a personal commitment to community service.
Young Peoples Concert Series (YPC)

Five times a year, approximately 200 fourth grade students from NYC partner schools travel to Juilliard to
attend a 45-minute interactive concert presented by a chamber group or small ensemble of Juilliard
students. These concerts, known as Juilliard's Young Peoples Concert series develop children's listening
skills and offer Juilliard student performers an opportunity to build their interactive performance skills
while sharing their art with the community. The school children are prepared for these concerts by Juilliard
Concert Fellows who visit their classrooms before and after each performance. If interested in performing
for young children, speak with a staff member in Community Engagement.
The Norma Galblay McCabe Guitar Fellowship enables Juilliard guitar students to introduce classical guitar
to young audiences as artists and educators. McCabe Fellows organize a performance or master class at a
partner school in New York City, present a Young Peoples Concert at Juilliard, perform interactive concerts
for the children in the CLIMB program, and collaborate with Morse Fellows to present a lesson for school
children.

information such as application status and their recent financial aid award letters on Web Advisor.
Deadlines for Submitting a Financial Aid Application/Late Applications

Continuing students must complete an application by May 1. Students who are applying to a new program of
study must complete an application by March 1.
Late applications may result in:
The students account not being credited with financial aid in time for payment and late fees applied;
Late registration and missed classes;
A reduction in amount of scholarship and other aid awarded;
International students may not be able to certify their finances in time to obtain student visas.
Scholarship Decisions
Scholarship decisions at Juilliard are made by the Juilliard Scholarship Committee upon the students admission
to Juilliard and based on a combination of financial need and artistic merit. The members of the Committee
include administrators from the departments of Financial Aid, Enrollment Management and Academic Affairs,
as well as senior administrators and artistic directors from appropriate areas of the School.
In examining a student's financial need, the Committee considers student and parent income and assets, total
educational debt, availability of outside funds, and special circumstances. Merit is determined based on the
strength of the students entrance audition and institutional needs. Academic standing and overall good
citizenship are also considered.
Financial Aid Amounts

Students can expect the same amount of scholarship assistance each year provided they reapply on time and
maintain satisfactory academic progress (SAP). Federal student aid is determined by the Expected Family
Contribution (EFC) calculated on the FAFSA. Other factors may affect federal aid eligibility, such as the
student's year in school, and total aggregate debt. For complete federal aid eligibility information, visit

Satisfactory Academic Progress

All students are expected to remain in good academic standing as outlined in the Academic Policies and
Procedures section of the student handbook. Students must also maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress

measuring both the time frame needed to complete the program of study, and the semester and cumulative
GPA of the student. Complete policies regarding SAP can be found on the Financial Aid website.
Financial Aid Appeal

While tuition normally increases by 4-5% each year, Juilliard cannot automatically increase continuing
student scholarships due to budgetary limitations. Students may appeal for additional aid if they have
experienced a change in financial circumstance, such as parent unemployment, medical expenses, etc. After
you receive your financial aid award letter, contact the Office of Financial Aid for an appeal form. You should
be prepared to provide documentation where appropriate. In addition, any student who experiences a
financial emergency should meet with a financial aid counselor for guidance.
Additional Information
Students are encouraged to visit the financial aid web pages for complete information about all financial aid
programs and policies. Read these pages carefully, as some information may be intended for new applicants
only. The Financial Aid website also contains work-study opportunities, private scholarship notices, reminders
and more.

our philosophy that physical and mental health are interrelated, and that treatment of the whole person is the
best approach to treating and preventing illness. Please visit the Health and Counseling Services page for the
most updated and comprehensive information.
General Health Care

Juilliard Health and Counseling Services provides free primary health care and counseling services to all
enrolled undergraduate and graduate students at the School. We offer the highest quality of primary care
with an emphasis on teaching illness/injury prevention and health promotion. Health Services is equipped
with three (3) private exam rooms, a laboratory, a state-of-the-art physical therapy suite, and a large
waiting room and reception area. Counseling Services is also located on the 22nd floor of the residence hall,
and has four (4) private therapy rooms.
Health Services is staffed by physician assistants, a certified medical assistant, an orthopedic surgeon (who
specializes in performing arts medicine), three physical therapists, an occupational therapist, and three
nutritionists. Our medical director is an internist who sees patients at the clinic and is available for
consultation 24 hours a day.
Student Health Services

All medical services are conducted on-site at the School. Health Services provides urgent care, sick visits, well-
patient visits, sexual health visits and women's health exams, immunizations, S.T.I. testing and free flu shots.
Students should note that laboratory services provided by outside labs are not free, and that invoices for such
services will be sent to students and/or their insurance companies for payment.
Students are referred to off-site specialists when deemed necessary. We have established a network of
excellent practitioners representing many medical specialties. Students using the Juilliard student health
insurance policy are required to get a referral from Health Services each academic year before seeing an off-
site medical provider.
Physical Therapy
The physical and occupational therapy services at Juilliard are unique in that students from all of the
performing arts disciplinesmusic, dance, drama, and voiceare treated in one setting. Physical and
occupational therapy is available to all students on an appointment basis by calling ext. 282.
Students in all disciplines are encouraged to seek guidance and take preventative measures by scheduling a
physical or occupational therapy appointment before their injury becomes debilitating. Occupational therapy
at Juilliard focuses on the upper extremities (shoulders, arms, and hands). Physical therapy treatment
includes the whole body. The physical therapy suite is large enough to accommodate several students at one
time. It is equipped with modalities such as ultrasound, electro-stimulation and paraffin, Pilates machine,
and an array of exercise equipment.
Page 44 of 203
All physical and occupational therapists have extensive experience and training in the treatment of
performing artists. The therapist evaluates the student's injury and technique to develop an individualized
treatment program. Treatment focuses on manual therapy, alignment, and therapeutic exercise to improve
muscle balance and movement strategies. The goal is to educate the student in self-care for healthful
performance. The therapist will refer some students (depending on their injury) for consultation with the
on- site consulting orthopedic surgeon who sees patients in the Health Services clinic on Thursdays. Please
visit the Physical and Occupational Therapy page for the most updated and comprehensive information.

location (floor number and specific area), the general nature of the medical emergency, the caller's name and
the callback telephone number. It is important for the 911 dispatcher to be told the general nature of the
patient's illness or whether the patient has been injured (from a fall, in an assault, etc.), so that the
paramedics can immediately bring the appropriate equipment and medical supplies from the ambulance to
the patient as soon as they arrive on the scene.
If the emergency occurs in the residence hall, please call Security at (212) 769-7442. The address to
which the ambulance should respond is 165 W. 65th Street.

injured/ill person is a Juilliard student, Health Services should be notified at ext. 282. After business hours and
on weekends, Security will notify the appropriate staff members.

not taking an ambulance and is experiencing emergencies that are psychological in nature, he/she is
advised to consider seeking emergency care at the Payne Whitney Clinic, part of the N.Y.-Presbyterian

and information. Psychotherapy records are kept in locked file cabinets in the Counseling Service therapy
rooms, which are also locked. Access to psychotherapy records is limited to the therapists and psychiatrist
who are members of the Counseling Services team.
Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP)

The Juilliard School offers an excellent student health insurance plan that provides benefits for sickness,
injury, some preventative care and prescription drugs.
Important: Students should make an appointment with Health Services first for all non-emergency
conditions. Students need a written referral from Health Services before receiving care from an in-network
provider. If you obtain a written referral, your cost-sharing may be lower. This means you will pay less
money if you get a referral. A referral for outside psychological services may be made by the clinical
director of Counseling Services. Referrals are per condition and a new referral is needed each academic
year (Sept. 1-Aug. 31). The only exceptions to this rule are for emergency medical services, when the
student is not in the New York City area, for certain preventative services or when Health and Counseling
Services are closed.
Students should refer to the insurance brochure for details regarding what is and is not covered and the
amount of coverage provided. Most conditions require students to pay a portion of all expenses. You should
check with Student Accounts (ext. 231) for details regarding enrollment and waiver requirements and
premium rates. Family members are not covered under the student insurance policy, except for limited
coverage for newborns. General questions about health insurance and prescription drug coverage may be
directed to the Administrator of Health and Counseling Services, ext. 282.

Email: oia@juilliard.edu
The Office of International Advisement (OIA) helps international students with their visa status; with
instructions for entering, leaving, and re-entering the U.S.; with work eligibility, extensions of stay, and
adjustment to life in the U.S.; and with support for other U.S. benefits such as applying for social security
numbers, drivers licenses, as well as filing tax returns, as necessary.
Another important aspect of the office function is to promote understanding among students of culturally
and linguistically diverse backgrounds. The office helps students from diverse educational and cultural
backgrounds to become part of the community by organizing fun and educational programs not only for
students to learn about each others cultures, but also to share their rich cultural mix with Juilliard's entire
student body, faculty, and staff.
Maintenance of Nonimmigrant F-1 or J-1 Visa Status

As an international student on F-1 or J-1 status, you are solely responsible for following the rules and
regulations concerning your legal status in the U.S. The following are important guidelines to help you
maintain legal status in the U.S:
Make sure that your passport is valid at least for six months into the future
Report any address changes through WebAdvisor within ten days
When you enter the U.S., be sure that a Customs & Border Patrol (CBP) officer stamps your passport
with F-1; D/S or J-1; D/S
Register for a full-time course load each semester
Inform OIA immediately for program changes such as change of major, change of degree, or change
of completion date
Consult OIA in advance if you are thinking about working off campus. Never begin a job off campus (even
unpaid work) without prior approval from OIA (Please note that J-1 students must receive prior approval
for on-campus employment as well)
Check with OIA if you plan on traveling outside the U.S.
Report the loss of your I-20 or DS-2019 immediately to OIA--you should plan to keep all of
your documents in a safe place and never throw any of them away
Keep backup copies of all your immigration documents
International Student Employment

Students who work without proper authorization can face severe immigration consequences. Often a
student will need to leave the U.S. immediately and may have problems returning in the future or
Page 47 of 203
problems with future visa applications. All international students should talk to OIA before engaging in any
employment.
Students in F-1 Nonimmigrant Status

As an international student in F-1 nonimmigrant visa status, your employment should be verified by OIA.
Please note that a Social Security number is not work authorization. In general, the total number of hours for
on- and off-campus employment may not exceed 20 hours per week while school is in session. However, full-
time employment is possible during vacation periods, provided that you intend to register for the subsequent
academic term.
On-Campus Employment
For those students on an F-1 student visa, on-campus employment is available and generally permitted as
long as the students employment does not exceed 20 hours per week while school is in session. Examples of
on-campus work include work-study, assistantships, and fellowships. All F-1 students are permitted to work
on-campus on work-study or working through the Hire Juilliard. On-campus employment and employment
through Hire Juilliard Performers is not considered OPT or CPT.
Practical Training
For any employment off campus, including professional engagements, accompanying, teaching, etc. Practical
Training is available to F-1 students who have been lawfully enrolled at Juilliard on a full-time basis for at
least one full academic year. An eligible F-1 student may request employment authorization for practical
training in a position that is directly related to his or her major field of study. Request forms for practical
training can be found on our Forms & Handouts page. There are two types of practical training available:
Curricular Practical Training (CPT)

CPT may be authorized by OIA for any off-campus engagements that are directly related to the students
curriculum. Authorization is indicated on page 3 of the I20 and includes the name of the company,
beginning and ending date and location of the engagement. Processing time for the authorization of CPT
can take up to one day and students are not permitted to begin the engagement (including rehearsals)
until they have received CPT authorization. International students on F1 visas are eligible for CPT
before finishing their studies, as well as for 12 months of OPT. However, students who work fulltime on
CPT for one year or more are not eligible for OPT. Please note that CPT must be authorized for even
unpaid engagements.
Optional Practical Training (OPT)

OPT is a one year work permit for F-1 students, obtained following the completion of their degree
program. OPT must be authorized by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) based on a
recommendation from OIA. Students are eligible for 12 months of OPT for each degree level, but OPT
time cannot be combined between degree levels. Students who have received OPT permission will be
issued an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) by USCIS and will be permitted to work in the
U.S. in an area related to their field of study. The students name, photo and valid dates of employment
are printed on the EAD. Students should note that the average processing time for USCIS to issue the
EAD is two to three months, and students may begin employment only after they receive the EAD
indicating the start and end dates of employment.
Students in J-1 Nonimmigrant Status

As an international student in J-1 nonimmigrant visa status, all employment must be approved ahead of time.
Please note that a Social Security number is not work authorization. For any type of employment, on campus
or off campus, you must obtain prior written approval of the employment. Working without authorization
will jeopardize your J-1 visa status. If your J-1 status is Juilliard-sponsored, please contact the OIA for
detailed information on employment authorization. For those students whose J-1 status is Fulbright-
sponsored, please direct your employment inquiries to the Responsible Officer assigned to you by the
Institute of International Education (I.I.E.). There are two main types of employment available to J-1
students:
Page 48 of 203
On-Campus Employment
This type of work is performed on the Schools premises, including work-study, assistantships,
fellowships, and compensated professional assignments arranged by the School and performed in-
house or outside Juilliard. As a J-1 student, you may accept on-campus employment only with prior
approval from OIA, provided you are enrolled in a full course of study.
Academic Training (AT)

AT is available to international students on J1 visas for up to 18 months of work authorization. Post
doctoral students may apply for an additional 18 months of AT. Some J1 program participants are also
allowed to work parttime during the academic program. Students who have received AT permission
will be issued a DS- 2019 with the dates of authorization and employers name on the first page of the
document. Request forms for AT can be found on our Forms & Handouts page.
Students in Other Visa Categories

All international students at Juilliard must provide OIA with copies of their immigration paperwork. Students
are not permitted to work on-campus until they have received approval from OIA.
U.S. Social Security Number

International students who would like to apply for a social security number must prove that they will be
working legally in the U.S. Students on F-1 or J-1 visas can apply for a social security number (SSN) once they
have been in the U.S. for more than ten days and have acquired lawful employment. Students working on-
campus must take with them to the Social Security Administration (SSA) the following items: proof of on-
campus work (such as a Work-Study Employment Contract), immigration documents (including printed I-
94), and an authorization letter provided by OIA. Students who have off-campus work will need to take to
SSA their offer letter and immigration paperwork reflecting their work authorization. A handout on SSA
applications can be found online on our Forms and Handouts page.
To locate a Social Security office, please check the SSA website.
After the Social Security number application has been accepted, the student will receive a social security
card in the mail in about two to three weeks. The student should provide a copy of the card to the Accounts
Payable Office (room 229).
*Please note that since B-1/WB visa holders are not permitted to work, individuals on this visa type will not
qualify for a social security number.

Concert Office. Students are encouraged to share information and story ideas for any medium by emailing
content@juilliard.edu.
Communications and Media Relations

To present consistent and accurate institutional messaging and information about The Juilliard School, all
external communications representing the School, its people, programs and events must be coordinated
through the Public Affairs office.
This includes information published by The Juilliard School (such as news releases written by students to
promote a student event, etc.), as well as all news coverage produced about Juilliard and its programs by
outside sources, regardless of medium (print/ broadcast/digital). This also includes all news produced for
outside media by students using a byline. (The only exception to this is when a student is writing about their
own endeavors with no mention of a connection to Juilliard.)
To submit news and notes or to arrange for publicity of a school-sponsored program, or to suggest a
possible story idea, send via email to news@juilliard.edu
Publications
The Publications department is responsible for publishing The Juilliard Journal; the program books for the

Website and Social Media
The Public Affairs office also oversees Juilliards online presences, including the Schools website and social
media channels. The department coordinates and widely publicizes news and events related to current
students, faculty, alumni, performances, and other Juilliard-related news. Questions or suggestions relating
to the site should be sent to content@juilliard.edu.
All official Juilliard social media accounts must be vetted by the Public Affairs department. With the explosion
of social media over the last few years, it may be tempting to establish a Facebook, Twitter, or other social
media account for your department or event. Before jumping on the social media bandwagon, please
carefully consider the pros and cons of starting an account. All social media presences for Juilliard-affiliated
student organizations require institutional approval and are subject to certain guidelines. Please refer to the
official Social Media Account request form for more information, or email socialmedia@juilliard.edu for
additional details or to submit information for possible sharing on the Juilliard website or social media
channels.
Performance Promotion
The Public Affairs office provides information about Juilliard and its performances, as well as schedules and
formats all digital displays across the Lincoln Center campus, which feeds other outlets as well. All postings,
including student recitals, must include a digital image. To have your recital concert displayed, please send a
hi-resolution, 300 dpi headshot or performance photo to content@juilliard.edu.
Students selected for concerto or solo performances with Juilliard ensembles must email a bio and headshot
(high-res, 300-dpi) to content@juilliard.edu the morning after being chosen. The office reserves the right to
edit and/or rewrite material that does not meet its standards or size requirements. In addition, if you are
responsible for providing program notes, it is important that you submit materials on time. Late
submissions will not be included.
Creative Services
The Creative Services department manages the design and production of all print and digital materials at
Juilliard, such as ads, program books, brochures, posters, fliers, and other promotional materials. The
creative services team helps maintain the high quality of the schools brand across multiple platforms.

publicity materials for events. Contact content@juilliard.edu for more information or see the
Posting/Publicity section in the handbook.

Residence Life/Housing
Location: Meredith Willson Residence Hall in the Samuel B. and David Rose Building
Room: 1102
Phone: 212-769-7400
Email: reslife@juillliard.edu
Living within a community, students will be inspired and encouraged to grow and develop intellectually,
artistically, and personally. The Office of Residence Life (ORL) is an integral part of Student Affairs and serves
as the primary communications and support center for residential students. Residence Life is responsible for
staffing, programming, building maintenance, housekeeping services, and addressing disciplinary matters for
students residing in the Meredith Willson Residence Hall. The staff strives to maintain a positive community
atmosphere in the residence hall and is available to assist each student with their living and learning
experiences at The Juilliard School.
Professional Live-In Staff

The Director and Assistant Director of Residence Life are Masters-level professional staff members
responsible for the overall management, operations, health and safety compliance, and community
development of the 348-bedhall. The professional staff members monitor residential policies, procedures,
and supervise the hall in an on-call capacity 24 hours/day to handle any residential student emergencies.
Page 58 of 203
Hall Coordinators (H.C.s)
The H.C.s assist the professional staff in maintaining the residence hall. The three (3) student staff members
selected as H.C.s are upper-class students who take on extra responsibilities regarding programming,
community initiatives, and maintenance for the residence hall. They are familiar with the students needs
and concerns in a community living environment. A.R.C.s serve in an on-call duty rotation on nights and
weekends.
Resident Assistants (R.A. s)

R.A.s reside on each floor, and are attuned to the particular needs of the residents in their assigned
community. These paraprofessional student staff members have successfully completed an extensive
selection process and training program. R.A. s promote an atmosphere conducive to achievement in the
performing arts, social growth, and the development of personal and group responsibilities. They assist
residents directly with academic, personal, and social problems which may arise. R.A. s serve in an on-call
duty rotation on nights and weekends.
Residence Hall Policies and Expectations

Accepting a key to a residence hall room and signing a residence hall contract constitutes occupancy.
Therefore, until proper check out has occurred and the term of the contract has expired, the resident is
responsible for all obligations and responsibilities as outlined in the Residence Hall Contract and in this
handbook. Violations of any regulations will result in disciplinary actions that may include, but are not
limited to, official reprimands, monetary fines, loss of residence hall privileges, and expulsion from the
residence hall or from The Juilliard School.
Alcohol, Controlled Drugs, and Illegal Substances

The Office of Residence Life encourages students to make responsible decisions concerning the use of
alcoholic beverages on and off campus. Residents are required to abide by all state and local laws and Juilliard
regulations. According to New York State law, the minimum age for drinking is 21, and it is unlawful for a
person under the age of 21 to purchase or consume alcohol. Residents under the age of 21 may not possess or
consume alcohol in the residence hall. If one resident of a double-occupancy room is 21 or over, he/she may
possess alcohol, but will be held accountable if found responsible for providing alcohol to anyone who is
underage (See Alcohol, Drug, and Smoking Policy).
The intent of this policy is to promote a healthy environment consistent with the mission of The Juilliard
School and to provide safe and secure residences that support the academic and personal growth of Juilliard
students (See Alcohol, Drug and Smoking Policy).
Please Note:
Guests should be notified of these policies by their host and must adhere to them while a guest in the
residence hall. Hosts will be held responsible for the actions of their guests.
Students who fail to abide by the provisions of these regulations will be subject to disciplinary
proceedings.
Repeated violations may result in severe sanctions, including but not limited to loss of housing privileges.

Page 59 of 203
Prohibited Items
Fire safety codes require that major appliances (washers, dryers, and dishwashers) and other small electrical
appliances are not to be used in the residence hall suites and rooms. These small appliances and other items

items will be confiscated and discarded. If the confiscated item is of substantial value or personal importance,
and not considered drug paraphernalia, the resident will be given the option to ship the item home
immediately at his/her own expense.
Check-In, Check-Out, and Closures

Check-In
The Office of Residence Life publishes check-in procedures via its summer communication(s) of room
assignments. Specific dates and times are scheduled to accommodate new and returning students.
Students may not be accommodated if arriving prior to appointed check-in dates and times without
approval. In the case of anticipated late arrivals to the residence hall, the Office of Residence Life must be
notified in advance. Those anticipating a late arrival beyond the first day of classes must notify the
Provost and Dean and the Dean of Student Affairs.
Check-Out and Closures
The residence hall officially closes at the end of each semester. In December the residence hall closes on
the last day of the fall semester. Residents are not permitted to remain in the residence hall at this time. A
resource list of local and affordable guest accommodations is made available through the Office of Student
Affairs. Minimal accommodations for extreme circumstances may be provided on a case-by-case
basis as approved by the Office of Residence Life.
At the end of the spring semester, residents must vacate the residence hall 24 hours after their last exam
or approved Juilliard activity or performance. Those anticipating an early departure because of
extenuating circumstances must notify the Provost and Dean and Dean of Student Affairs. Graduating
students have up to 24 hours after commencement to check-out. Students may be billed for a late stay
even if approved by the School.
To avoid unnecessary charges, be careful to follow all guidelines. Monetary fines are assessed for an
improper check-out. All personal property left behind after the building closes for the school year will be
discarded. Large items will be discarded at the owners expense. Additional fines will be assessed for
rooms/suites left excessively dirty.
Cleaning
Residents are responsible for keeping their rooms and common living areas clean. The Resident Assistant on
the floor will assist each suite in creating a schedule for cleaning all bathrooms and the living room area in
their suite. Limited cleaning supplies will be available on each individual floor. In event that cleaning supplies
from the Office of Residence Life are unavailable, students are still responsible for the cleanliness of the suite.
Failure to adequately clean the suite may result in fines or disciplinary action.
Conduct
Conduct will be consistent with School rules and regulations as specified in the Housing Contract and any
other official School policy. Any violation of Federal, State, or Local law that has a negative impact on the well-
being of Juilliard or its individual members, including students, faculty, or staff, shall be subject to disciplinary
action (Refer to Student Code of Conduct).
Page 60 of 203
Consolidation
From time to time, a room or suite consolidation and/or resident relocation may need to take place. Some
reasons for such consolidation include, but are not limited to, discipline, safety, health, conflict, individual
health risk, public health risk, or maximum space utilization. Consolidations can be mandated without notice,
but effort will be made to provide residents with notice prior to being asked to move or accept a new
roommate.
Damage and Damage Billing Policy

Juilliard School students are held financially responsible for damage to School property incurred by their
actions or that of their guests, which is beyond normal wear and aging. Students are responsible for the
conditions of their rooms, suites, and furnishings, including carpets, walls, fixtures, and common areas. In
cases where the damage is intentional, extensive, or malicious, disciplinary action will result.
A Room Condition Agreement must be signed by each student and his/her resident assistant to complete the
check-in and check-out procedures. This report requires each student to thoroughly inspect his/her room and
record its condition. Upon check-out, this report is used to assist staff in assessing the room and suite's
condition and any potential damages. Residents must care for their assigned rooms and leave them at the end
of the school year in good order and clean condition. Any damage or an excessively dirty room/suite (as
determined by Residence Life staff) will result in monetary penalties.
Bedroom furniture may not be disassembled and must be in its original condition when the resident vacates
the room. If there is a valid reason to alter the furniture set-up, the Office of Residence Life must approve the
requested alterations. No Juilliard room furniture may be placed in the suite/lounge area.
Damages caused by a resident or his/her guest are the responsibility of the resident. An assessment will be
made of any damages, and the cost will be billed to the resident or residents involved. Individual residents
are expected to claim responsibility for damages they have caused. If individual responsibility cannot be
determined for damage in a suite or common areas(s), the cost of damages will be divided equally among all
residents sharing responsibility for damage.
Fire Alarm System and Safety

Tampering with fire alarms, fire extinguishers or any other fire equipment is a third-degree felony. Any
person found responsible for such actions may be subjected to a fine of up to $500. In addition to potential
criminal charges, students engaging in this behavior will be referred for disciplinary action and/or civil
prosecution that may result in separation from the School.
Additionally, is also against School policy to:

Hang objects from sprinkler heads, pipes and electrical conduit;
Live cut trees (such as holiday trees) and display them anywhere in student housing;
Blocking entries and exits with furniture or personal belongings is prohibited.
Fire Drills
When a fire alarm sounds, students should listen for instructions from Fire Command. If instructed to
evacuate the building, students should follow the prescribed fire emergency procedures:
1. Students should dress quickly and appropriately for exiting the building.
2. Feel the door for heat if it is hot, students should not open it and remain in the room. The student should
place a towel in the airspace under the door, go to the window and wave an article of clothing until a fire
fighter reaches them. If the door is not hot, the student should lock the door, and move quickly to the
nearest fire exit.
3. If smoke is present, the student should wrap a towel over their nose and mouth and remain close to the
floor.
4. While exiting, the student should move away from the building and to the location assigned by the
Resident Assistant (R.A.), Lincoln Center, or Juilliard officials.
Page 61 of 203
5. Students should not re-enter the building under any circumstances until directed to do so by Lincoln
Center or Juilliard officials.
Flammable Items
Open flames such as candles, incense, and potpourri burners are not permitted in any student residence. An
initial violation of this policy will result in confiscation of the materials and a written reprimand. Additional
violations will result in Conduct System action and/or a fine. Please be advised that the Residence Life staff
reserves the right to confiscate candles, even if they have not been burned.
Hall Safety and Security/Health and Safety Inspections

In an effort to protect the health, safety, and security of students and their belongings in the residence hall,
health and safety inspections are held once per month to address any neglect, damage, fire hazards, and policy
violations. Disciplinary action and/or fines may be imposed where a student is found to have compromised
the safety and security of the hall.
Additionally:
Residences are inspected prior to break closings, and may be inspected at other times if needed.
Personal items should be stored in a clean and orderly manner to promote proper hygiene and lessen the
risk of pest infestation.
Fire hazards due to furniture or personal items blocking safe exit, including but not limited to
excessive trash, papers and other combustibles on the floor are prohibited.
Egregious violations of safety standards are strictly prohibited and subject to the Code of Conduct. Violation
of these safety standards may result in removal from the residence hall and/or expulsion from Juilliard.
These violations include but are not limited to:

Roof access, electrical and maintenance closets are off limits to students unless otherwise directed by a
building manager or fire safety official.
Hanging out of windows, throwing objects out of windows or at pedestrians, engaging in outdoor sports
or high-risk activities inside the residence hall.
Possessing weapons or other items used to inflict harm.
Housing Accommodation Policy and Procedures

The Juilliard School provides reasonable housing accommodations to qualified students with disabilities. In
compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act, housing
accommodations are designed to provide equal access to the on-campus residence hall facilities.
Accommodations are determined on a case-by-case basis and are designed to meet the documented needs of
the student in accordance with current standards. A student requiring reasonable housing accommodations
must first go through the steps of qualifying as a disabled student, as outlined in this handbook (see Academic
Support and Disability Services). Once all documents are filed, the Disabilities Support Service Committee in
consultation with appropriate school medical personnel will review housing accommodation requests.
Accommodations will be determined based on the documented disability, the needs of the individual applying,
and the adjustments that can be reasonably made in the current housing available to Juilliard students.
The Office of Academic Support and Disability Services has a grievance process by which any student may
appeal the accommodations granted or not granted. Students wishing to appeal any housing accommodation
decision may file an appeal, and should review the Grievance Policy and Procedure in the Academic Support
Services section of this handbook.
Students who have medical conditions that do not constitute a disability, but who would benefit from some
adjustment in their housing, should notify the Office of Residence Life. Due to very restricted room availability
and options, there is no guarantee that requested adjustments can be made. If a students medical needs
require environmental controls that might be met by matching the applicant with a roommate who has a
Page 62 of 203
similar medical condition (e.g. similar allergies, dermatitis, etc.) the student may be asked to sign a release
allowing the School to facilitate a roommate assignment by revealing to a potential roommate the students
medical condition and contact information.
Housing Lottery
Housing past the first year of school for first time college students is not guaranteed in the residence hall.
Students who wish to return to the residence hall must take part in Housing Selection, which takes place
during the first week of May. In order to be eligible for housing selection students must complete the
following by the specified due date:
Attend four (4) Foundations programs (one per concentration area) per academic year. Foundations are
educational programs that range in topic and are 1 hour in length.
Pay the $150 Housing Deposit

Page 63 of 203
students will not be charged for lockouts. After the first two weeks, lockouts will result in a $15 fine.

room or unit may be applied. (Professional staff are allowed to have pets within their residence on-campus.)
Quiet Hours
The residence hall maintains 24-hour "courtesy hours," meaning that all noise should always be kept to a
reasonable level. Quiet hours are from 10 p.m. to 10 a.m. weekdays, and 1 a.m. to noon on the weekends,
meaning that any noise that can be heard from the outside of a room with the door closed is unacceptable.

Room Changes
The Office of Residence Life will consider room and roommate changes only after the second week of a
semester unless there is an emergent health or safety risk posed to one or more students. Students involved
must have a made a serious effort to explore all alternatives. The office must approve requests for room

Juilliard Security and Safety On/Off Campus

Room: 230
Life-Threatening Emergency: 9-1-1 (on cell/mobile or outside line)
Public Safety Office Phone: 212-799-5000 ext. 311

Website: http://www.juilliard.edu/campus-life/campus-safety
The security and safety of the Juilliard community is of paramount importance at all times. Security policies,
procedures and personnel reflect the schools commitment to maintaining a safe and secure environment for
students, faculty, staff and visitors. However, security and safety is a participatory activity, and it requires
everyones participation to be effective. Moreover, each of us has an individual responsibility to comply with all
security policies and procedures, to be aware of issues that could affect the security of ourselves and others, and
to know how to respond in the event of an emergency.
Juilliard Public Safety Department

The Public Safety Department is responsible for security at The Juilliard School. The department consists of a
management team and uniformed security officers. One or more officers is on duty at the Security Main Desk
located at the 65th Street entrance of the main Juilliard facility at all times. A security officer is also present at
the 66th Street entrance of the Juilliard facility whenever that entrance is open. The Public Safety Department
is located on the second floor of the Juilliard facility (room 230). The Department welcomes all questions or
concerns regarding your security and safety.
Uniformed security officers are responsible for ensuring the Juilliard physical premises and day-to-day
activities conducted therein are secure. To that end, Juilliard security officers are instructed to ensure that
only authorized individuals are permitted to enter the Juilliard facility, monitor the Juilliard environment for
suspicious activity or unsafe conditions, provide security for internal and public events, and respond to
emergencies. Any security-related questions or concerns should be brought to their attention.
Juilliard security officers are assisted by security technology that is installed in strategic locations in and
around the main Juilliard facility and the residence hall. This technology exists to ensure access to specific
areas is limited to those individuals authorized by a department to be in that space as well as to enhance
ongoing efforts to protect locations in and around the Juilliard facility.
The Public Safety Department maintains close relationships with Lincoln Center Security, New York Police
Department (NYPD), and other members of the law enforcement community. These relationships are critical
to ensuring the Public Safety Department is provided timely information on security-related issues, and
therefore can respond appropriately to security events.
Emergencies and Emergency Response

Medical and Life-Threatening Emergencies
IN CASE OF A MEDICAL OR OTHER LIFE-THREATENING EMERGENCY, DIAL 911 USING YOUR CELL
PHONE OR LAND LINE AND REQUEST IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE.
If possible, and after the call to 911, dial extension 246 or 247 or use one of the red emergency phones located
throughout the facility to inform the Public Safety Department of the emergency and to inform Juilliard security
officers that the police have been summoned. A Juilliard security officer will be dispatched to your location to
provide assistance.
Page 68 of 203
Additionally, see:
Medical Emergencies protocol under Health Services for medical emergencies; or
Psychological Emergencies protocol under Counseling Services for psychological emergencies.
If it is not a severe, life-threatening emergency, students may choose to go to the Student Health or Counseling
Center.
Violent Intruders
Although instances of violent activity in universities and public facilities are relatively rare, the School must be
prepared for the possibility that an armed individual intent on doing harm could enter the Juilliard facility. In
such circumstances, the following is the appropriate protocol in order of preferred responses:
1. Leave the premises by the safest route possible and call 911 if and when you believe it is safe to do so.
2. If leaving the premises is not possible, take refuge, preferably in a room that can be locked. If it cannot be
locked, use furniture to act as a barricade. Keep a low visible and audible profile, and dial 911 if and when
you believe it is safe to do so, and report your name, status, location and other information as requested.
3. If responses 1 and 2 are not viable, and you are confronted by a violent individual who is threatening your
life, defend yourself by any available means. For example, throwing an object at the assailant might provide
an opportunity to escape. This is a last resort and is not recommended unless all other options are
exhausted.
Severe Weather and External Emergencies

The school will monitor publicly available communications channels for approaching storms and other
significant security and safety incidents. Emergency messages and evacuation notices will be communicated
via the Schools Emergency Notification System, which will send a message to your mobile device.
Communications will also be posted on www.juilliard.edu, and available through the switchboard (212 799
5000) via a recorded message.
The School cannot provide housing for commuter students during an evacuation. Hurricane maps and other
information about the New York area are available at the New York Office of Emergency Management website
http://www.nyc.gov/html/oem/html/hazards/storms_hurricaneevac.shtml. Updates will be sent as they
become available.
School Cancellation
If classes are cancelled, notification will be sent via the Schools Emergency Notification System, by email,
posted on www.juilliard.edu and will be recorded on the switchboard at 212-799-5000. Cancellation would
most likely occur in the event of an impending weather emergency.
First Aid
Basic First Aid supplies are available from the Office of Student Affairs, the Health Center, and the Security
Communications Center located at the 65th Street entrance to the main Juilliard facility.
Access to and within a Juilliard Facility

Ensuring security and safety at Juilliard requires that only individuals who are authorized to enter a Juilliard
facility are permitted to do so. Access to a Juilliard facility and its resources is a privilege, and is granted to
responsible individuals who demonstrate a willingness and ability to comply with all security rules and
procedures. Access to a Juilliard facility is restricted to students, faculty, contractors, and visitors who have a
legitimate requirement to be inside that facility. In addition, access to designated areas inside a Juilliard facility
may be further restricted due to specific security concerns.
Access by Juilliard Students

Juilliard uses a centrally managed card reader and ID card system to control access to and within the
Juilliard facility. Card readers are located at the 65th and 66th Street entrances as well as on various doors
throughout the main Juilliard facility. The Juilliard ID card is authorized by the Registrars office and is
Page 69 of 203
issued to students in good standing. The ID card confirms that the cardholder is authorized to enter the
Juilliard facility and designated areas within the facility.
The Juilliard ID card also confirms a cardholders current affiliation with the School. Therefore, students
must carry their ID card at all times and present it upon request to any member of the Juilliard
administration or a Juilliard security officer. It is recommended that students display their Juilliard ID
when they are inside the Juilliard facility. Lanyards and plastic cardholders will be provided by the Office of
Student Affairs or the Department of Public Safety for this purpose at no charge.
A Juilliard ID card is not transferable, and may only be used by the individual to whom the card was issued.
Students should report lost or stolen cards to Public Safety immediately. Misuse of a lost or stolen card
prior to its being reported is the students responsibility. A $50 fee will be charged for a replacement ID.
Non-resident students and students who live in the residence hall must return their Juilliard ID cards
immediately if and when they withdraw from the school. Students who live in the residence hall must
return their Juilliard ID card to the Residence Life Office and individuals who live off-campus should do so
at the Facilities Office (Room 232).
Access by Visitors
In order to ensure only authorized individuals have access to a Juilliard facility, it is imperative that only
sponsored visitors are allowed to enter. To that end, visitor passes are issued to individuals who are
registered with the Public Safety Department to be on-site. These passes confirm that a visitor is sponsored
by an individual affiliated with the School and is therefore authorized to be inside a Juilliard facility.
Student hosts must accompany their visitors while the visitor is inside the facility. Note: any student
sponsoring a visitor is responsible for that visitors actions while he or she is inside a Juilliard facility.
Visitor passes are issued upon presentation of a Juilliard ID card to a security officer at the Security
Communications Center located at the 65th Street entrance of the main Juilliard facility. Each student is
limited to two passes per day and these passes are issued for the purpose of granting visiting privileges
only. Visitors may not use or share performance, classroom, or practice facilities at the school without
prior permission from the appropriate department and/or other appropriate Juilliard administration.
Students may not sign-in visitors when classes are not in session. Visitation requirements and procedures
for residential students within the Meredith Willson Residence Hall can be viewed under Residence Life
Visitation Policy.
Reporting Criminal Activity and Suspicious Behavior

Maintaining a safe and secure environment requires everyones participation. Paying attention to your
surroundings, reporting crimes, and alerting the Public Safety Department to suspicious behavior
contribute to a safer and more secure campus.
Students who are victims of crimes anywhere in New York City should report the crime by calling 911 and
are also encouraged to report it to Juilliard Student Affairs. The school will provide counseling services
when needed and administrative support when possible. Whether you are a victim of a crime on or off
campus, the school is here to help.
Students are encouraged to report any criminal activity or suspicion of such activity to Security at 246 or
247, or by filling out an online incident report. A member of the security staff will investigate the matter
and notify other campus officials if necessary. Please note the following concerning crimes committed on
the Juilliard campus:
Students reporting sexual misconduct (sexual harassment, sexual assault, intimate partner violence
and other forms of unlawful discrimination) immediately after the occurrence, should call 9-1-1 and
contact Juilliard Public Safety at 246 or 247. During business hours, Juilliard Public Safety will notify
Kate Satin, Juilliards Title IX Coordinator, at 212-335-9000 x 609. During non-business hours, Juilliard
Page 70 of 203
Public Safety will notify the Student Affairs/Residence Life on-call professional staff and the on-call
staff will notify Juilliards Title IX Coordinator.
Students reporting past sexual misconduct should call the Title IX Coordinator at 212-335-9000 x 609.
If you are reporting after school-hours, students can also call the Student Affairs/Residence Life on-call
professional staff who will reach out to Juilliards Title IX Coordinator.
Immediately after making a report, the School will determine the necessity and scope of any interim
measures to maintain the mental and physical health of the reporting student pending the completion
of any potential investigation and adjudication process. This include any necessary crisis intervention
with referral for extended assistance, if necessary, will also be provided.
With the assistance and support of Kate Satin, the Student Affairs/Residence Life on-call professional
staff, the proper authorities will be contacted for further investigation if the student wishes to pursue
criminal charges.
If a non-violent crime occurs in the Meredith Wilson Residence Hall, the incident should be reported to
the Office of Residence Life on the 11th floor of that building. As noted above, violent crimes should be
reported to the police by dialing 911 and then reported to the Office of Residence Life.
Crimes are reported to the New York City Police Department at the request of the complainant and/or as
required by law. Senior Juilliard administrators are kept apprised of criminal activity on campus. In specific
cases, the Juilliard administration will file a criminal complaint with the New York Police Department on
behalf of the complainant. In addition, Lincoln Center Security is notified of criminal activity as
appropriate.
The Juilliard School investigates any reported instances of illegal drug activity on campus and enforces all
applicable laws on alcohol consumption. Note that New York State Law specifies that alcohol may not be
consumed by individuals who are below 21 years of age, and alcohol is not permitted in residences of
individuals in New York State who are below that age. Students should never operate a motor vehicle while
under the influence of alcohol.

Reducing Security and Safety Risk

New York City and the Immediate Neighborhood
Crime statistics show that New York City is one of the safest major cities in the United States. Juilliard is
located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan on the campus of Lincoln Center. The Upper West Side is
considered to be a safe neighborhood within New York City. However, and like any urban environment,
caution and common sense should be exercised at all times, especially when traveling in the city after dark.
Specifically, areas where people are present are generally safer than secluded areas. Broadway and areas
immediately to the east of the Juilliard facility are often populated until late in the evening. In contrast,
Amsterdam Avenue and streets west of the Juilliard facility tend to be more isolated, and therefore caution
should be exercised when walking in these areas, especially after dark.
Page 71 of 203
As a general security practice, if you are walking around the city (Note: this is true for any city) after dark it is
best not to travel alone. Also, if you are leaving the Juilliard facility or the Residence Hall for an extended
period, it is advisable to let someone know your destination, when you intend to return, and how to contact
you.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding security and safety in and around the Juilliard facility or just
require general security advice, contact any Juilliard security officer or representative of the Public Safety
Department and someone will be happy to assist.
Bicycles
Bicycles are a popular means of transportation in New York City but riding bicycles in city streets carries risk.
It is important to remain alert for both vehicles and pedestrians. On some streets there are designated lanes
reserved for bicycles. Bicyclists are required to obey traffic rules and regulations such as stopping at stop
signs and red lights, riding with the flow of traffic, using lights at night and yielding the right-of-way when
entering a roadway.
Bicycle racks are located at street level at 155 W65th Street. Resident students may park bikes in their rooms.
Please be careful with kickstands, which can seriously damage the floor. No bikes may be parked in residence
hall stairways, hallways, rest rooms or inside any other building on campus. Bikes kept in residence halls
cannot obstruct any exits including windows.
Bicycles parked outside should have a lock on each tire. A Kryptonite-type lock is recommended. Please be
aware that in New York City a bicycle is legally defined as a motor vehicle.
New York City Public Transportation

New York City has an exceptional public transportation system that includes buses and subways that operate
in every borough and is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days per year. Access to the subway
requires a pass, which can be purchased via machines located within subway stations or from ticket booths
located in some stations.
While the subway is generally a safe environment, certain precautions are recommended, especially if
traveling alone at night. It is typically preferable to take a taxi or other mode of personal transport if traveling
alone during late evening or early morning hours.
The following tips are provided by NYPD regarding traveling on the New York City subway:
Do not display money, valuables or electronic devices in public.
Carry purses, portfolios or briefcases in a manner that will allow you to let go. Straps placed across your
shoulder, around your neck or wrapped around your waist have caused injuries because women could
not free themselves during a purse snatch.
Always be aware of your surroundings and carry your pocketbook clasp toward you, close to your body,
tucked in the bend of your elbow as if it were a football. If there is a long strap, wrap it around the bag.
If someone attempts to snatch your pocket book, let go of it, especially if there is a weapon involved.
Keep your wallet out of sight and never put your wallet in your rear pocket.
Be sure necklaces and other jewelry are not visible.
Do not doze or fall asleep on the train.
Beware of loud arguments/noisy incidents. They could be staged to distract you & pick your pocket.
Stand in the yellow off-hours waiting area in front of the token booth in subway stations.
On subways, choose the most crowded car. If its late at night, use a middle car. (The conductor operates
from the fifth car).
Page 72 of 203
Meredith Wilson Residence Hall
Access to the residence hall is managed by a 24-hour access control system for which residents and
appropriate staff are issued access. Security in the lobby and the 11th floor of the residence hall is managed by
Lincoln Center Security.
Students can enhance their own safety by not propping open entrance doors for any reason, not lending their
keys or access cards to anyone, and not allowing individuals to enter the residence hall unless they know who
that individual is and the purpose of their visit. Residence halls must adhere to New York City fire codes and
are checked by the Public Safety Department and Lincoln Center personnel for compliance. In addition to
security, trained hall coordinators (HCs), resident assistants (RAs) and professional Residence Life staff are on
duty every night to assist residents.
The following are security tips for students living in the Residence Hall at Juilliard:
Always lock your bedroom and suite door
If you bring valuables to School, keep them in a lock box or mini-safe
Report suspicious behavior or persons to the 11th-floor security desk at ext. 7442
Do not sign in individuals you do not know into the Residence Hall; remember, the residence hall is your
living space and is a shared environment
Be aware of guests that your roommate or suitemates may sign in
Report a lost room key or access card immediately to the Residence Life Office.
Academic Facilities
Academic studios have set opening and closing hours. Certain studios are only open when a staff technician or
student monitor is present. These facilities are also patrolled by security officers.
A Security and Safety Top-Ten List

1) Call 911 in the event of a life-threatening emergency.
2) Report suspicious individuals or activity to the Public Safety Department at extension 246 or 247, the red
phones located throughout the facility or directly to a Juilliard Public Safety officer.
3) Do not provide personally identifying information to strangers or via the Internet (see the section Online
Security and Fraud Prevention below).
4) Use a buddy system when traveling to and from the Juilliard facility at night.
5) Lock residence room doors at night and when rooms are unoccupied. If you live off campus, do not leave
windows that are near fire escapes open at night or when the apartment is unoccupied.
6) Secure valuables and engrave these for identification purposes.
7) Use a sturdy lock to secure bicycles to an immovable structure.
8) Do not allow anyone to enter your residence unless they are expected or you know who they are.
9) Park cars in proper parking locations and keep them locked. Disconnect electronic equipment from the
dashboard and do not leave valuables on the seat or in plain view.
10) Carry your Juilliard ID card at all times.
Security and Safety-Related Programs

Prevention Programs
New Juilliard School students complete an online program during New Student Orientation designed to
provide information about crime prevention, including the following: sex misconduct, campus security
procedures and a students responsibility for their own safety on campus (including the residence halls) as
well as off-campus. Security procedures, methods and avenues for reporting crimes or receiving victims
assistance are outlined during this program and are provided in this Student Handbook. Safety and security
programs are held for the student body periodically throughout the school year in order to address current
issues and concerns, as well as to stress the importance of continued monitoring of each community members
safety and security.
Page 73 of 203
Safety Committee
In 2012, The Juilliard School established and convened the Safety Committee, which was charged with
overseeing and implementing all aspects of safety, health, environmental issues and risk management. The
Committee comprised of annually appointed faculty members, staff members and a student representative
meets twice a semester during the academic year. Additional meetings may be called as needed.
Hazardous Waste Disposal

To avoid environmental damage, as well as to comply with Federal laws, all hazardous waste is collected on
campus before final disposal through a licensed contractor. Any violations will be dealt with in a severe
manner. Questions relating to safety, health or environmental issues should be sent to Juilliard Facilities.
Online Security and Fraud Prevention

Part of the mission of the Public Safety Department is security education and awareness. Your security and
safety does not begin and end while you are physically on campus. As more business and social activity occurs
online, the risk of fraud and other serious crime increases in proportion.
Unfortunately students are sometimes the target of online fraud and check scam schemes. The school strongly
encourages students to be cautious when engaging in any activity on the Internet and not do anything that
might jeopardize their personal and financial security. To that end, please take a few minutes to review the
following in order to be aware of some these criminal activities and how to prevent such events from
occurring:
Social Networking
Many members of our community and the world at large utilize social networking sites and similar forums to
connect with peers and friends, maintain communication with family, and establish new networks of
colleagues. Although technology has created exciting opportunities to reach out beyond ones immediate
physical community, safety issues that might impact your personal and professional reputation or image can
arise when using social networking sites. Juilliard embraces the right of free speech as well as each community
members right to safety, and strives to create an environment free of harassment and fear.
While social networking sites can be positive and productive tools for personal and professional
communication, they should not be abused or used inappropriately. Any community member using the
Juilliard network to access social networking sites may be subject to disciplinary action if he or she is found
behaving in inappropriate, intimidating, threatening, or harassing ways on these sites.
The School values every community member and will not tolerate the use of social networking sites to abuse
or hurt other members of the community.
When submitting personal information to social networking sites or any website, for that matter the
following simple precautions can protect your security and reduce the risk of identity theft:
Never post your full date of birth, local address, phone number(s), or other personal information on a
public site or profile; doing so can make you vulnerable to identity theft.
Know that once you post something online, even if you delete it within hours, it remains in cyberspace.
Also, any photo or text you post online becomes the property of the site(s). Only post information that you

Identity Theft and Internet Fraud

Be cautious when conducting personal business online (buying or selling items, responding to online offers of
free gifts, offering private lessons, etc.) or with anyone you do not know. Below are some tips to help you avoid
negative situations. However, this is not an all-inclusive list. Use common sense: if it seems too good to be true,
it probably is! If you are in a situation that doesnt feel right, dont go forward with the transaction. If you feel
you are the victim of fraud, please report it to the Student Affairs Office and the local authorities.
Tips to prevent fraud via the Internet:

Ask for prices in writing up front.
Always request a receipt/warranty/return or refund policy in writing.
Dont be afraid to ask for references from previous clients.
Before agreeing to additional work/time/service, always ask what the additional costs will be.
Read everything before you sign or agree to something; this includes online service agreements.
Be safe! If someone works out of their home, bring someone with you or let a friend or roommate know
where you are going and when you expect to return.
If you are selling something, it is O.K. to ask for cash, especially if you do not know the person you are
doing business with. Be prepared to provide a written receipt.
Know your banks policies for clearance of funds, etc. In most circumstances, your bank will hold you
responsible for deposit of fraudulent checks, and will seek to recover the funds from you by charging your
account or pursuing legal action.
Tips to prevent identity theft (Source: the United Stated Postal Service)
Report lost or stolen credit cards immediately.
If you applied for a credit card and didnt receive it when expected, call the financial institution.
Sign new credit cards immediatelybefore someone else does.
Memorize your Social Security number and passwords. Dont use your date of birth as your password and
dont record passwords on papers you carry with you.
Never leave transaction receipts at A.T.M.s, on counters at financial institutions, or at gasoline pumps.
Dont carry your Social Security card or birth certificateleave them in a secure location.
Page 75 of 203
Dont disclose credit card/financial account numbers on websites unless the site has a secure transaction.
Closely monitor the expiration dates on your credit cards and contact the issuer if you dont receive a
replacement prior to the expiration date.
Beware of mail or telephone solicitations that offer prizes or awardsespecially if the offer or asks you for
personal information or financial account numbers.
Match your credit card receipt against your monthly bill; check monthly financial statements for accuracy.
Watch for your monthly financial statements and bills. If you dont get them when expected, contact the
sender.
Tips to avoid fake-check scams

If someone you dont know wants to pay you by check but wants you to wire some of the money back,
beware! Its a scam that could cost you thousands of dollars.
There are many variations of the fake-check scam. It could start with someone offering to buy something
you advertised, pay you to do work at home, give you an advance on a sweepstakes youve supposedly
won, or pay the first installment on the millions that youll receive for agreeing to have money in an
international country transferred to your bank account for safekeeping. Whatever the pitch, the person
may sound quite believable.
Fake-check scammers hunt for victims. They scan newspaper and online advertisements for people listing
items for sale, and check postings on online job sites from people seeking employment. They place their
own ads with phone numbers or email addresses for people to contact them. And they call or send emails
or faxes to people randomly, knowing that some will take the bait.
They often claim to be in another country. The scammers say its too difficult and complicated to send you
the money directly from their country, so theyll arrange for someone in the U.S. to send you a check.
They tell you to wire money to them after youve deposited the check. If youre selling something, they say
theyll pay you by having someone in the U.S. who owes them money send you a check. It will be for more
than the sale price; you deposit the check, keep what youre owed, and wire the rest to them. If its part of a
work-at-home scheme, they may claim that youll be processing checks from their clients. You deposit
the checks and then wire them the money minus your pay. Or they may send you a check for more than
your pay by mistake and ask you to wire them the excess. In the sweepstakes and international money
offer variations of the scam, they tell you to wire them money for taxes, customs, bonding, processing, legal
fees, or other expenses that must be paid before you can get the rest of the money.
The checks are fake but they look real. In fact, they look so real that even bank tellers may be fooled. Some
are phony cashiers checks, others look like theyre from legitimate business accounts. The companies
whose names appear may be real, but someone has dummied up the checks without their knowledge.
You dont have to wait long to use the money, but that doesnt mean the check is good. Under federal law,
banks have to make the funds you deposit available quickly usually within one to five days, depending
on the type of check. But just because you can withdraw the money doesnt mean the check is good, even if
its a cashiers check. It can take weeks for the forgery to be discovered and the check to bounce.
You are responsible for the checks you deposit. Thats because youre in the best position to determine the
riskyoure the one dealing directly with the person who is arranging for the check to be sent to you.
When a check bounces, the bank deducts the amount that was originally credited to your account. If there
isnt enough to cover it, the bank may be able to take money from other accounts you have at that
institution, or sue you to recover the funds. In some cases, law enforcement authorities could bring
charges against the victims because it may look like they were involved in the scam and knew the check
was counterfeit.
There is no legitimate reason for someone who is giving you money to ask you to wire money back. If a
stranger wants to pay you for something, insist on a cashiers check for the exact amount, preferably from
a local bank or a bank that has a branch in your area.
Dont deposit itreport it! Report fake-check scams to the National Fraud Information Center/Internet
Fraud Watch, a service of the nonprofit National Consumers League, at www.fraud.org or (800) 876- 7060.
That information will be transmitted to the appropriate law enforcement agencies.

Crime Statistics
The Juilliard School believes an informed community is a more safety-conscious community. The statistics
shown on the following pages are provided in accordance with the Student Right-to-Know and Campus
Security Act of 1990, and they indicate the numbers of incidents reported to the Security Office in each listed
crime category on property owned by The Juilliard School.
During the calendar year 2014, the New York Police Department reported one larceny and at The Juilliard School
which is listed as one of the 13 reported thefts. Also included in this report are data from the NYPD related to
non-campus property, including the Signature Theatre, which a portion of the Juilliard Drama students utilize on
a frequent basis for School-related activities. One robbery was reported at this location during the periods of
March May 2014 and August December 2014, the times in which Juilliard students utilized the space.
Crime data from public property adjacent to a frequently used facility in Aiken, South Carolina has been
requested from the Aiken Public Safety Department for the period of March 8-16, 2014 at which time Juilliard
used the space. Aiken Public Safety provided crime statistics for the 2014 calendar year; therefore, accurate data
for the time period in question cannot be reported.
This report is disseminated to all current students, faculty and staff and is available to all prospective students
and employees.
These statistics are updated each year and are also available online at:
http://www.juilliard.edu/AnnualSecurityReport
If students have any questions regarding these statistics, or if students would like more information about
other security related incidents, services, or policies, please contact the Department of Public Safety at

Student Rights and Code of Conduct
Introduction
The Juilliard School strives to create a safe, comfortable, and professional environment that is conducive to
the educational and personal well-being of the students. It is expected that all members of the Juilliard
community, including school offices, employees, students, programs, and organizations contribute in the
maintenance of such an environment. It is important to always be aware of the rights and responsibilities
held by each student.
Rights
All members of The Juilliard School community are entitled to, encouraged to endorse, support, and abide by
the following rights and values deemed fundamental to Juilliards mission and integral to individual and
community growth:
Right to be treated fairly and with dignity regardless of race, color, religion, creed, age, sex, national
origin, alienage, citizenship status, ancestry, sexual orientation or preference, gender identity, physical
or mental disability, medical condition, predisposing genetic characteristics, marital status, partnership
status, past or present service in the uniformed services, status as a survivor of domestic violence, sex
offenses, or stalking. In their individual roles as members of student organizations, students have the
responsibility not to discriminate against others.
Right to express themselves freely on any subject provided they do so in a manner that does not violate
the Code of Conduct or other School policy. Juilliard community members, in turn, have the responsibility
to respect the right of all members of the community to exercise these freedoms.
Right to accurate and plainly stated information relating to maintenance of acceptable academic standing,
graduation requirements and individual course objectives and requirements. Students can expect
instruction from designated instructors at appointed class times and reasonable access to those
instructors. Students have the responsibility to attend class and know their appropriate class requirements.
Right to expect a reasonably safe environment supportive of the Schools mission and their own
educational goals. Students have the responsibility to protect and maintain that environment and
themselves from all hazards to the extent that reasonable behavior and precaution can avoid risk.
Right to establish representative governmental bodies and to participate in School governance in
accordance with the rules and regulations of the School. Students who accept representative roles in the
governance of the School have the obligation to participate responsibly.
Right to be heard before formal disciplinary sanctions are imposed by the School for violations of the
Code of Student Conduct or other published policies. Students have the right to written notice and the
opportunity to be heard before any change in status is incurred for disciplinary reasons unless a
significant threat to persons or property exists. Students may waive the right of 48 hours notice for
judicial hearings if the student admits to conduct violations and subsequent sanctions through an
administrative hearing process.
These rights may from time to time come into conflict, and it might be difficult to draw a clear and precise line
between the reasonable exercise of and the abuse of such rights. The circumstances in each case will vary, but
the objective must always be to ensure a fair and reasonable balance whenever there is a conflict among the
rights mentioned above.
Occasionally, the rules of the School and the law will overlap, but the School does not attempt to duplicate
the law or legal system. The School reserves the right to pursue matters through its student conduct system
that may also be addressed in the legal system.
Serious or persistent minor violations of School rules, policies, or regulations may result in suspension or
expulsion.
Non-residential students are expected to abide by the same standards of community behavior as residential
students as outlined in the Code of Conduct.
Page 81 of 203
Code of Conduct
The Juilliard School is committed to maintaining a purposeful learning community, one that encourages
creativity and promotes intellectual inquiry through vigorous discourse. The Juilliard School Code of
Conduct is a signed contract between the School and the student which supersedes all division handbooks
and applies to all students enrolled at The Juilliard School for their duration, without pause, until graduation
from the School.
When students choose to accept admission to The Juilliard School, they accept the rights and responsibilities
of membership in the Schools academic and social community. As members of the community, students are
expected to uphold its values by maintaining a high standard of conduct.
Student misconduct is defined as any student behavior that violates rules of The Juilliard School as stated in
this Student Handbook, contained within any School publication, or on the website; and/or is in violation of
State, Local or Federal laws and ordinances.
Students who are present or accompanying others while in the act of violating the code of conduct may be as
culpable as the violators.
The Juilliard School considers the following behavior, or attempts thereof, by any student or student
organization, whether acting alone or with any other persons, to violate the Code of Conduct:
Academic Misconduct and Dishonesty

Academic misconduct and dishonesty encompass all classroom, studio, and performance work. The School
defines academic misconduct as any action or attempted action that may result in creating an unfair
academic advantage for oneself or an unfair academic advantage or disadvantage for any other member or
members of the academic community. Students at Juilliard have an important role in fostering individual
and communal commitment to academic integrity and are expected to be honest and forthright in their
academic endeavors. The maximum possible sanction which may be imposed, and which will necessarily
depend on the degree of seriousness of the case, is dismissal from the School.
Definitions/Considerations of Academic Misconduct and Dishonesty

1. Plagiarism: A student shall not represent all or any portion of the work of another as their own.
Plagiarism includes but is not limited to:
Quoting oral or written materials including but not limited to those found on the internet, whether

Submitting a document or assignment which in whole or in part is identical or substantially
identical to a document or assignment not authored by the student.

materials or resources in an academic activity. Unauthorized materials or resources shall include:
Any paper or project authored by the student and presented by the student for the satisfaction of

substantially the same paper or project to satisfy another academic requirement and did not
receive express authorization to resubmit or simultaneously submit the paper or project;
Any materials or resources prepared by another student and used without the other students
express consent or without proper attribution to the other student;

collaboration or consultation with another person is authorized prior to engaging in any act of such
use, collaboration or consultation. If a faculty member has authorized a student to use materials or to
collaborate or consult with another person in limited circumstances, the student shall not exceed that
authority. If the student wishes to use any materials or collaborate or consult with another person in
circumstances to which the authority does not plainly extend, the student shall first ascertain with the
faculty member whether the use of materials, collaboration or consultation is authorized.

The Juilliard School Conduct System
Article I: Purpose
The Juilliard School Conduct System is the mechanism by which most of the School policies and community
standards of The Juilliard School are enforced. Alleged violations of academic misconduct and dishonesty are
handled by the Associate Dean of Academic Affairs or designee, in conjunction with the Office of Student
Affairs. It is the purpose of this Juilliard Conduct System to be of educational value and to protect the rights
of all members of the School community.
Article II: Definitions

1. Student Code of Conduct: Conduct Administrators
The Student Conduct Administrators are the persons designated by the dean of student affairs to be
responsible for the administration of the Code of Conduct. The School Conduct Administrators for non-
academic misconduct and dishonesty include: the Dean of Student Affairs, the Assistant Dean of Student
Affairs, Assistant Dean of International Advisement and Diversity Initiatives, Director and Assistant
Director of Residence Life, and Assistant Director of Student Engagement and Leadership. The Student
Conduct Administrators are authorized on a case-by-case basis to meet with students alleged to have
violated School policy and to set sanctions, when appropriate.
2. Hearing Panel
When a disciplinary matter may result in the suspension or expulsion of a student, the Dean of Student
Affairs may convene a Hearing Panel. This three-person panel, consisting of the Dean of Student Affairs
(or designee), faculty, staff, and/or student members form a hearing body to review all documentation
and determine appropriate sanctions.
3. Advisor
An Advisor is a person, chosen by the involved student to serve in an advisory capacity during the student's
involvement in the hearing process. The primary role of the Advisor is to assist the student in preparing for
and to attending hearings as support for the student. The student is responsible for presenting the student's
own information and, therefore, Advisors are not permitted to speak or participate directly in any hearings
without prior approval. An Advisor may be of the student's choosing. The use of an Advisor is strongly
recommended.
Article III: Code of Conduct Authority

1. Jurisdiction
a. The jurisdiction of the School shall apply to conduct:
Which occurs on or off School premises;
During a School sponsored activity;
That adversely affects the School community and/or the pursuit of its objectives while the student is
enrolled at the School.
b. Any student found in violation of School policies is subject to disciplinary action according to the
procedures outlined in the School's conduct system.
c. The School will cooperate fully with Federal, State and/or Local authorities and other agencies in the
enforcement of civil or criminal laws. If the alleged offense is also being considered for action within
this conduct system, the School may advise off-campus authorities of how such matters will be
handled within the School community.
d. School conduct action may be initiated if a student is charged with a violation of a law which is also in
violation of School policy. The School may take action prior to, during, or after the disposition of the
case by a court of law.
e. A student who withdraws or takes a leave from the School while disciplinary adjudication is pending
is subject to conduct action before permission to re-enroll and/or return to the School is granted. In
such cases, the School retains the right to investigate and adjudicate alleged violations regardless of
Page 87 of 203
whether the student elects to participate in the process.
2. Room Entry, Search, and Confiscation

The Juilliard School reserves the right at any time and for any reason, at its sole discretion, to have
authorized representatives enter any residential student room without prior notice to:
Make repairs;
Inspect for compliance with health, fire, and building codes, or school and hall regulations;
Handle what Juilliard, at its sole discretion, deems to be an emergency;
Conduct searches for illegal activity as cause permits;
Address a reasonable belief of violations of federal, state and/or local law, School policy, or sufficient
disruption requiring staff intervention.
Additionally, The Juilliard School reserves the right at any time and for any reason, at its sole discretion, to
have authorized representatives from the Office of Student Affairs, Office of Residence Life, and Juilliard
Public Safety to search any students locker, dressing room spaces, or other School property in use by a
student when it appears that School policies may have been violated or it is deemed to be an emergency.
In the event of confiscation/removal of items deemed a violation of School policy or law based on the
preponderance of evidence available at the time, Juilliard School officials will document (in place) the items
and confiscate/remove the item(s) for proper disposal. In the case of large quantities of illegal drugs (more
than what the State/City of New York considers personal use [25g] of marijuana, or large amounts of other
controlled substances [including prescription pills, cocaine, heroin, designer drugs[ecstasy, rohypnol, GHB,
hallucinogens, etc.) or in the case of indications of intent to distribute or sell (i.e. drugs packaged for sale
[plastic baggies], electronic scales and other drug-measuring equipment, large amounts of cash, messages
from customers [text message, written notes indicating record of or intent to distribute/sell]) the
professional staff may alert local authorities, including Lincoln Center Security, NYPD, etc.
3. Rights of the Alleged

a) Students shall be considered not responsible of policy violations until given an opportunity to be
heard and found in violation;
b) Students shall be notified in writing of the charges against them at least 48 hours prior to
any hearings unless the student waives this right;
c) Students have the right to prepare a response and to have the assistance of an Advisor;
d) Students shall be free from disciplinary sanctions, pending conclusion of the hearing, except in
cases where interim action is deemed necessary.
e) Students have the right to present evidence on their behalf.

action/suspension, the student may be denied access to the Schools facilities, including the residence hall,
the School, participation in rehearsals, performance, or other activities or privileges granted to students.
Parents/guardians may be contacted and a no-contact order may also be issued.

extraordinary circumstances. Additionally, an interpretation or application of the student code shall be
referred to the dean of student affairs or designee for final determination.
Page 88 of 203
6. Withholding Degrees & Diplomas
The School has the right to withhold the awarding of a degree or diploma pending the conclusion of the
code of conduct hearing process.
7. Preponderance of Evidence
The standard used for investigating any potential violation of the Code of Conduct, including Title IX, is
the "preponderance of evidence standard meaning that it is more likely than not that the violation
occurred.
Article IV: Non-Academic Conduct

Any member of the School community may report an alleged violation of the School Code of Conduct. Such
reports shall be prepared in writing and directed to the dean or assistant dean of student affairs. Reports can
be submitted at http://www.juilliard.edu/IncidentReport and should be submitted as soon as possible after
the alleged violation occurs.
1) Administrative Notice: Students involved in any incident or policy violation will meet with a Student
Conduct Administrator to discuss ways to resolve the alleged violation(s). Prior to all formal hearings, the
student will be informed, in writing, of the following:
The time and place of hearing, with at least 48 notice, unless student waives this right or the dean of
student affairs (or designee) believes extraordinary circumstances exist;
The specific School policies that have allegedly been violated;
The right to have an Advisor accompany the student to the hearing.
2) Administrative Decisions: Students that have gone through an administrative hearing with a Student
Conduct Administrator will receive written notification of the outcome of the hearing detailing the
following:
The determination of responsibility for the alleged policy violation(s);
Any accompanying sanctions, including due dates, as a result of being found responsible for the policy
violation;
The process by which to appeal the outcome of the case.
3) Appeal: Sanctions rendered by the Student Conduct Administrator may be appealed to a designated appeals
officer. Appeals must be submitted to the designated appeals officer in writing within 48 hours of the written
notification of the decision. It is the responsibility of the person presenting the appeal to demonstrate
grounds for such action.
Appeals for sanctions from Code of Conduct violations may be made on the following grounds:
Procedural error: Appealing party alleges that there was a deviation or change from the procedure
outlined in the adjudication process which may have had a material impact on the outcome of the
decision.
New evidence: Appealing party alleges that subsequent to the hearing determination, new evidence
became available which could have had a material impact on the outcome of the hearing.
Severity of sanction: Appealing party alleges that the sanctions imposed are either too severe or too
lenient in light of the violation or are inconsistent with the type of sanctions imposed on others who
were found to be responsible for substantially similar violations.
The designated appeals officer may uphold or overturn the sanctions given by the Student Conduct
Administrator, return a case for further review, modify sanction(s) within reason, or deny appeal
request. In all cases, the decision reached by the designated appeals officer is final.
Article V: Organization Conduct

Student clubs or organizations, upon recognition by the School, become responsible for acting in accordance
Page 89 of 203
with School policies and all other applicable School regulations. The School may take action when the
behavior of the members of a student organization violates School policy. Both individual and organizational
Code of Conduct action may be pursued for the same behavior. Student organizations may be held responsible
for acts of individual members when some of its members act together or when the members are acting on
behalf of the organization. These acts include, but are not limited to, the following categories:
When a member violates School policy and other members present either fail to discourage such
activity or actively condone the violation;
When the violation is directly related to the organizations activities or an environment created by the
organization.
Alleged violations will be adjudicated as outlined in Article IV of this conduct process.
The following sanctions may be imposed upon student organizations found to have violated School
policy:
Disciplinary sanctions as outlined in this process under Article VI: Disciplinary Sanctions;
Deactivation which entails loss of privileges, including School recognition and funding for a specified
period of time.
Article VI: Disciplinary Sanctions

There are disciplinary sanctions the School will use, depending on the severity or the frequency of the
violation under consideration. The following is a list of sanctions, of which one or more may be imposed:
Status Sanctions
Educational Sanctions
Academic Sanctions
Accompanying Terms for Sanctions
Status Sanctions
Reprimand (R): The student will be issued a verbal or written warning that the student has violated the
Code of Conduct. Records are maintained in the students file via electronic means and are taken into
account in the event of future violations.
Residence Hall Probation (RHP): Written notice that the students behavior is unacceptable. The student's
behavior is monitored closely and the student may be restricted from participating in residence hall
activities. Records are maintained in the students file via electronic means and are taken into account in
the event of future violations. Any further violations while the student is on RHP may result in immediate
action, including but not limited to, disciplinary probation, restriction from the housing selection process,
immediate removal from the residence hall, or suspension or dismissal from the School.
Disciplinary Warning (DW): Written notice that the students behavior is unacceptable and that further
misconduct may result in more severe penalties. Disciplinary warning is for a specified period of time and
may be accompanied by other educational sanctions. Records are maintained in the students file via
electronic means and are taken into account in the event of future violations. After the warning period, the
warning status is not considered part of the students history.
Disciplinary Probation (DP): Written notice that the student is no longer in good standing with the School.
Disciplinary probation may accompany conditions including, but not limited to, denial of privileges, the
requirement that specified activities be performed, or other educational sanctions. Probation is for a

Violation of disciplinary probation is considered grounds for further disciplinary action, including
suspension or expulsion. At the conclusion of the disciplinary probation period, the student is returned to
good standing. Electronic records are maintained in the students file and are taken into account in the
event of future violations. These records become part of the students permanent record at the School.
Deferred Suspension (DS): Written notice that the students offenses have been found serious enough to
warrant suspension, but where the specific circumstances of the case mitigate the offense or for repeated
Page 90 of 203
offenses of a less serious nature. Deferred suspension is a designated period of time during which a

the School in any official capacity (Teaching Assistant, Residence Assistant, Ambassador, etc.), hold an
office (Student Council) in School groups of any kind, or participate in School-sponsored travel. If the
student is found responsible for violating any additional School code or regulation during the period of
Deferred Suspension, the student may be immediately suspended from the School and may be subject to
additional sanctions for the subsequent violation. A deferred suspension may be accompanied by a
transcript remark (See Accompanying Terms for Sanctions). Any violations that occur during the
deferred time period will be ground for automatic suspension.
Suspension (S): Written notice to the student of separation of the student from the School for a designated

remark (See Accompanying Terms for Sanctions ).
Educational Sanctions
Any sanction may be accompanied by, or substituted with, appropriate activities that the student is directed to

Student Handbook or other Juilliard publications at any time without advance or subsequent notice. It is the
intention of the School to offer uninterrupted courses of study to its students. In the event it is unable to
continue some or all academic instruction because of a natural disaster or other event over which the

Page 92 of 203
distributed to all current students via a broadcast announcement to their @juilliard.edu email addresses and
will be posted online.
Alcohol, Drug and Smoking Policy

The Juilliard School considers the abuse of drugs or alcohol by its faculty, staff and students to be unsafe and
counterproductive to the educational process and the work environment. It is Juilliards policy that the illegal
possession, use, consumption, sale, purchase or distribution of alcohol, illegal drugs or illegally possessed
drugs by any employee or student, while in the workplace, on campus or in the conduct of School-related
work off-campus, is strictly prohibited.
For purposes of this policy, the campus is defined as any area used for work, educational, recreational,
residence hall, including surrounding sidewalks and exterior areas.
The School permits persons of legal drinking age or older to possess and consume alcoholic beverages within
the confines of private units in the Rose Building subject to all Federal, State and Local laws, and the
guidelines which have been established by the School.
Guests under the age of 21 are not allowed to be in a campus housing unit where alcohol is permitted,
regardless of whether they are consuming alcoholic beverages or not.
This policy is not designed to interfere with the appropriate use of prescription drugs. Student employees
should notify their supervisors if the proper use of prescribed medication will affect work or academic
performance. Abuse of prescription drugs will be treated as a violation of this policy.
Disciplinary Actions to Prevent Drug Abuse

Penalties or sanctions will be imposed by the School in accordance with procedures for disciplinary actions
against employees and students as found in this Student Handbook, the Staff Handbook, the Faculty
Handbook and other applicable documents.
Sanctions and penalties may range from referral to rehabilitation programs, written warnings with
probationary status, to dismissal from academic programs and termination of employment.
Distribution & Review of Policy

Each student registered during an academic year in any degree program will receive a copy of this policy
within this Student Handbook.
The vice president of enrollment management and student development will ensure that a biennial review of
this policy will be conducted to determine its effectiveness and to implement any necessary changes. The
Juilliard Schools Biennial Review can be viewed here:
Legal Sanctions
In addition to the disciplinary sanctions Juilliard imposes for violations of this policy, students and employees

922(g): Ineligible to receive or purchase a firearm
Miscellaneous: Revocation of certain federal licenses and benefits, e.g., pilot licenses, public housing
tenancy, etc., are vested within the authorities of individual federal agencies
3. Federal Sanctions for Sale of Controlled Substances
Penalties range from imprisonment for less than one year and/or a fine of less than $100,000 for a first
offense involving a small quantity of a controlled substance
For a large quantity, second offense, the penalty may be as severe as 20 years to life imprisonment and a
fine of not more than $8 million.
C) Smoking
The New York Public Health Law and the New York State Clean Indoor Air Act prohibit smoking in any indoor
area, open to the public, to protect all students, employees and visitors from secondhand smoke, an
Page 95 of 203
established cause of cancer and respiratory disease. Smoking is not permitted in any indoor locations on
Juilliard School owned, operated, or controlled property including, but not limited to: classrooms; private
faculty, staff, student, and administrative offices; computing facilities; dance, drama, or music studios or
dressing rooms; conference, meeting and seminar rooms; cafeteria areas, lunchrooms, and lounges, libraries;
stores; health facilities; restrooms; stairwells; elevators; lobbies; or reception areas.
Electronic cigarettes (E-cigarettes)
E-cigarettes are battery-powered devices that are designed to mimic cigarettes by vaporizing a nicotine-laced
liquid that is inhaled by the user. They are also considered tobacco products and therefore the same rules and
conditions apply to the use and sale of these products. Existing smoke-free laws are often interpreted to
prohibit e-cigarette use in their smoke-free provisions.
Smoking Policy
Juilliard is committed to providing a safe and healthful environment for its students, faculty, staff and visitors.
Research findings show that tobacco use in general, including smoking and breathing secondhand smoke,
constitutes a significant health hazard. In addition to causing direct health hazards, smoking contributes to
institutional costs in other ways, including fire damage, cleaning and maintenance costs and costs associated
with absenteeism. Information about smoking cessation programs and resources is available from the Health
and Counseling Office.
Smoking is prohibited on the Juilliard campus except in outdoor designated smoking areas. The Juilliard School
therefore has set the following policy regarding tobacco use:
For the purposes of this policy, smoking is defined as burning any type of tobacco product including,
but not limited to, cigarettes, cigars, cigarillos, pipes, and e-cigarettes.
Smoking materials will not be sold or dispensed within any property owned, leased or controlled by the
School.
This policy applies to all persons including students, faculty, staff, visitors, contractors,
subcontractors and others on School property.
Designated smoking areas are identified by signs and contain receptacles for the proper disposal
of cigarette butts.
All students, faculty, staff and visitors are expected to observe these designated smoking areas and to
dispose of cigarette butts safely and only in the receptacles provided.
Organizers and attendees at public events, such as conferences, meetings, public lectures, social events
and cultural events that use the School facilities are required to abide by this policy.
Organizers of such events are responsible for communicating this policy to attendees and for enforcing
this policy.
Effective enforcement of this policy depends upon the courtesy, respect and cooperation of all members
of the Juilliard community.
Health Risks Associated with the use of Illicit Drugs & the Abuse of Alcohol
Illicit drugs and the health risks involved in using them include, but are not necessarily limited to:
Cannabis (Marijuana)
Use of cannabis may impair or reduce short-term memory and comprehension, alter sense of time and reduce
ability to perform tasks requiring concentration and coordination, such as riding a bike. Marijuana can also
produce paranoia and psychosis.
Inhalants (gasses or volatile liquids)
Immediate negative effects may include nausea, sneezing, coughing, nose bleeds, fatigue, lack of coordination
and loss of appetite. Solvents and aerosol sprays may also decrease the heart and respiratory rates and
impair judgment. Amyl and Butyl nitrite cause rapid pulse, headaches and involuntary passing of urine and
feces. Long-term use may result in hepatitis or brain damage.
Cocaine
Use causes the immediate effects of dilated pupils, elevated blood pressure, increased heart rate and elevated
Page 96 of 203
body temperature. Chronic use can cause ulceration of the mucous membrane in the nose and produce
psychological dependency. Crack or freebase rock, a concentrated form of cocaine, and produces effects
within 10 seconds of administration. In addition to the above, additional effects include loss of appetite, tactile
hallucinations, paranoia and seizures. Cocaine in any form may lead to death through disruption of the brains
control of heart and respiration.
Depressants
Included are barbiturates, methaqualones (Quaaludes), and tranquilizers. Effects can cause slurred speech,
staggering gait and altered perception. Very large doses can cause respiratory depression, coma and death.
The combination of depressants and alcohol can be devastating. Babies born to mothers who abuse
depressants during pregnancy may be physically dependent on the drugs. Some show birth defects and/or
behavioral problems.
Hallucinogens
Effects of hallucinogens vary depending upon the type of drug. Chronic users may experience mood
disorders, paranoia, violent behavior, hallucinations, panic, confusion, loss of control and death.
Narcotics (including heroin)
These include amphetamines and methamphetamines. Users may perspire, experience headache, blurred
vision, dizziness, sleeplessness and anxiety. Extremely high doses can cause physical collapse, very high fever,
stroke or heart failure. Overdose may produce slow and shallow breathing, clammy skin, convulsions, coma
and death. Tolerance to narcotics develops rapidly and dependence is likely. Addiction in pregnant women
can lead to premature, stillborn, or addicted infants.
Designer Drugs
These drugs have had their molecular structure changed chemically to produce analogs such as synthetic
heroin and hallucinogens. These analogs can be hundreds of times stronger than the original drug, which they
are designed to imitate. 1 dose can cause uncontrollable tremors, drooling, impaired speech, paralysis and
irreversible brain damage.
Abuse of Alcohol
Alcohol consumption causes a number of marked changes in behavior. Even low doses significantly impair
the judgment and coordination required to drive a car safely, increasing the likelihood that the driver will be
involved in an accident.
Moderate doses of alcohol also increase the incidence of a variety of aggressive acts, including murder, rape,
armed robbery, vandalism, spouse and child abuse and drunk driving. Moderate to high doses of alcohol can
cause marked impairment in higher mental functions, severely altering a persons ability to learn and
remember information. Heavy use may cause chronic depression and suicide, and is also greatly associated
with the abuse of other drugs.
Very high doses cause respiratory depression and death. If combined with other depressants of the central
nervous system, much lower doses of alcohol will produce the effects described. The use of even small
amounts of alcohol by pregnant women can damage the fetus.
Long-term heavy alcohol use can cause digestive disorders, cirrhosis of the liver, circulatory system disorders
and impairment of the central nervous system, all of which may lead to an early death. Repeated use of alcohol
can lead to dependence, particularly in persons with 1 or more parents or grandparents who were problem
drinkers. At least 15-20% of heavy users will eventually become problem drinkers or alcoholics if they
continue drinking. Sudden cessation of alcohol intake is likely to produce withdrawal symptoms including
severe anxiety, tremors, hallucinations and convulsions, which can be life threatening.
Resources including Counseling, Treatment & Rehabilitation

Any employee or student who believes he or she has a problem with drug and/or alcohol abuse is urged, for
his or her own benefit as well as the benefit of fellow employees and students, to seek counseling and
treatment through a treatment program of his or her choice. Please refer to the New York State Office of
Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services for additional information.
Page 97 of 203
Options for assistance and referral include:
a. On-campus referral sources. Employees may contact the Office of Human Resources and students may
contact the Office of Student Affairs or the Health and Counseling Offices for assistance in locating a
treatment program. All requests for counseling and treatment sessions, as well as referrals, will be
handled in a confidential manner.
b. The Counseling Office has professional mental health counselors on staff to assist members of the Juilliard
community. In addition, the dean of student affairs, assistant dean of student affairs, and Student Affairs
Staff are trained in crisis intervention and may provide assistance and/or implement the necessary
conduct procedures regarding student behavior.
c. Clinics and programs that provide counseling and/or treatment in this area can be found in the yellow
pages of the local telephone directory under the heading of Drug Abuse and Addiction Information and
Treatment.
Policy for the Consumption & Serving of Alcohol

The Juilliard School encourages members of the community to make responsible decisions concerning the use
of alcoholic beverages. The minimum age for drinking in New York State is twenty-one (21). It is unlawful for
a person under the age of twenty-one to purchase, possess, provide or consume alcohol. Any individual,
department or group planning to serve alcohol must adhere to the Policy for the consumption & serving of
alcohol viewable here: http://www.juilliard.edu/sites/juilliard.edu/files/wysiwyg-
files/policy_for_the_consumption_and_serving_of_alcohol_2016.pdf
Amnesty Policy for Alcohol and/or Drug Use

The health and safety of every student at The Juilliard School is of utmost importance. Juilliard recognizes
that students who have been drinking and/or using drugs (whether such use is voluntary or involuntary)
at the time that violence occurs, including but not limited to domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, or
sexual assault, may be hesitant to report such incidents due to fear of potential consequences for their own
conduct. Juilliard strongly encourages students to report domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, or
sexual assault to institution officials. A bystander acting in good faith or a reporting individual acting in good
faith that discloses any incident of domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, or sexual assault to
Juilliard officials or law enforcement will not be subject to the Schools code of conduct action for
violations of alcohol and/or drug use policies occurring at or near the time of the commission of the
domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, or sexual assault.
Bias/Hate Crimes Policy

Bias or hate crimes are crimes motivated by a bias against an individual or group of individuals based on the
actual or perceived characteristics of that individual or group. Crimes motivated by bias or hatred toward
particular groups not only harm individual victims, but also send a message of intolerance and
discrimination to all members of the group to which the victim belongs. Bias-related crimes are prohibited
under federal and state law and by Juilliard policy and will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
According to the New York State Hate Crimes Act of 2000 (New York Penal Law Section 485), a person
commits a hate crime when he or she commits a specified offense and either:
a. Intentionally selects the person against whom the offense is committed or intended to be committed in
whole or in substantial part because of a belief or perception regarding the race, color, national origin,
ancestry, gender, religion, religious practice, age, disability or sexual orientation of a person, regardless of
whether the belief or perception is correct; or
b. Intentionally commits the act or acts constituting the offense in whole or in substantial part because of a
belief or perception regarding the race, color, national origin, ancestry, gender, religion, religious practice,
age, disability or sexual orientation of a person, regardless of whether the belief or perception is correct.
Examples of bias or hate crimes may include, but are not limited to, intimidation; threatening phone calls,
Page 98 of 203
voice messages or mail (including messages send by electronic transmission); offensive graffiti; physical
assault; sexual abuse, including rape; stalking; theft; arson; and vandalism or other destruction of
property. Bias-related crimes are considered violent felony offenses and penalties can be severe, ranging
from fines to imprisonment for terms in excess of twenty years. Juilliard students, faculty and staff who
commit bias-related crimes are also subject to School disciplinary sanctions, up to and including
termination of employment or dismissal from the School.
Juilliard is required by law to report incidents of bias crimes annually to fulfill its obligations under the
Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (the Clery Act). Juilliards
Clery Act, Bias Crime statistics, and Daily Crime Log reports can be found here:
http://www.juilliard.edu/AnnualSecurityReport
In order to investigate incidents of bias-related crimes and protect the Juilliard community, victims of, and
witnesses to, such crimes should immediately report incidents to the dean of Student Affairs, ext. 7447 (for
student reports) or the Director of Human Resources, ext. 355 (for faculty and staff reports). Any member of
the Juilliard community can also make a report to the Vice President for Facilities Management, ext.
311. Juilliard will assist in providing counseling and support to victims of bias-related crimes through
Student Counseling Services (for students) and the Employee Assistance Program (for faculty and staff). In
cases involving an immediate threat or serious injury, victims or witnesses should call 911.
It is also important to report bias-related crimes to the local police precinct and to the Hate Crimes Task
Force of the NYPD, which can be reached at 646-610-5267. In addition, the Hate Crimes Unit of the
Manhattan District Attorneys Office (DANY), which investigates and prosecutes hate crimes in Manhattan,
has established a Hate Crime Hotline that enables the public to contact the DANY directly. The hotline
number is 212-335-3100. The DANY can refer victims to counseling and assistance programs within the
DAs Office or connect them to appropriate service providers in the community. Victims of hate crimes can
call the hotline whether or not they have previously reported the crime to law enforcement. Additional
information on resources for victims of bias crimes can be found on the DANY website at:
http://manhattanda.org/resources-victims-or-witnesses-hate-crimes
Child Abuse and Maltreatment Prevention Policy

The purpose of the Child Abuse Policy and Reporting Procedure is to provide guidance to all Juilliard faculty,
staff, students and other adult members of the Juilliard community regarding child abuse reporting
requirements.
This Policy and Reporting Procedure applies to all adults associated with Juilliard who come into contact with
minor children while on the Juilliard campus or at Juilliard sponsored off-campus programs or activities.
Policy
Under New York law, individuals in certain occupations have a legal obligation to report suspected child
maltreatment or abuse, including sexual abuse, to child protective services. However, any person should
report abuse if he or she has reasonable cause to believe that a child has been abused.
The following persons, among others, are required by law to report:

School officials, including but not limited to instructors, counselors, administrators and medical
personnel (Mandated Reporters).
A report is required when the Mandated Reporter has reasonable cause to suspect:
A child coming before him or her in his or her professional or official capacity is an abused or maltreated
child.
The parent, guardian, custodian or other person legally responsible for the child comes before the
reporter and states from personal knowledge facts, conditions, or circumstances that, if correct, would
render the child an abused or maltreated child.
Reasonable cause to suspect child abuse or maltreatment means that, based on ones rational observations,
Page 99 of 203
professional training and experience, one has a suspicion that the parent, or other person legally responsible
for a child, is responsible for harming that child or placing that child in imminent danger of harm. Such
suspicion can be as simple as distrusting an explanation for an injury.
It is Juilliards position that all adults associated with Juilliard, whether faculty, staff, other employee, student
or volunteer, have an obligation to report suspected child abuse, whether or not they are required to do so by
law. Any adult who has a reasonable suspicion that a Minor who is on the premises for any reason, or is
participating in a Juilliard-sponsored activity at another location, has been physically or sexually abused;
physically or emotionally neglected; exposed to any form of violence or threat; exposed to any form of sexual
exploitation, including the possession, manufacture or distribution of child pornography; online solicitation;
enticement or showing of obscene material must at a minimum make a report to: (i) the program director (if
any); and (ii) the dean of student affairs, assistant dean for student affairs or director of human resources
Definitions
Child Abuse
Under New York law, an abused child is a child under 18 years of age whose parent or other person legally
responsible for his or her care:
1. Inflicts or allows to be inflicted upon the child serious physical injury;
2. Creates or allows to be created a substantial risk of serious injury; or
3. Commits sexual abuse against the child or allows sexual abuse to be committed.
Other person legally responsible refers to a guardian, caretaker or other person 18 years of age or older
who is responsible for the care of the child (including individuals acting in loco parentis).
Child abuse includes physical abuse, physical neglect, sexual abuse and emotional abuse.
Physical abuse: Non-accidental physical injury of a child, ranging from superficial bruises and welts to
broken bones, burns or internal injuries. Includes actions that create a substantial risk of physical injury.

education or supervision such that the childs physical, mental or emotional condition is impaired or at
risk of being impaired.
Sexual abuse: Engaging a child in any form of sexual activity or in a sexual performance.
Emotional abuse: Acts or omissions that cause or could cause serious conduct, cognitive, affective or
other mental disorders. Examples include isolating, terrorizing, corrupting or verbally abusing the
child. May also include emotional neglect, such as withholding physical and emotional contact.
Child Maltreatment
Under New York law, a maltreated child is a child under 18 years of age whose physical, mental or
emotional condition has been impaired or is in imminent danger of becoming impaired as a result of the
failure of his or her parent or other legally responsible person for the care of a child to exercise a minimum
degree of care:
1. In supplying the child with adequate food, clothing, shelter, education, medical or surgical care, though
financially able to do so or offered financial or other reasonable means to do so;
2. In providing the child with proper supervision or guardianship;
3. By unreasonably inflicting, or allowing to be inflicted, harm or a substantial risk thereof, including the
infliction of excessive corporal punishment (i.e., punishment severe enough to cause physical harm to the
child by, for example, causing pain, leaving a mark, etc.);
4. By misusing a drug or drugs;
5. By misusing alcoholic beverages to the extent that he/she loses control of his/her actions;
6. By any other acts of a similarly serious nature requiring the aid of the Family Court; or
7. By abandoning the child.
Sexual abuse and maltreatment include situations in which the parent or other person legally responsible for
a child under 18 years of age commits or allows to be committed, any one of the following activities:
Touching a childs mouth, genitals, buttocks, breasts or other intimate parts for the purpose of gratifying
Page 100 of 203

sexual desire; or forcing or encouraging the child to touch the parent, or other person legally responsible,
in this way for the purpose of gratifying sexual desire.
Engaging or attempting to engage the child in sexual intercourse or deviant sexual intercourse.
Forcing or encouraging a child to engage in sexual activity with other children or adults.
Exposing a child to sexual activity or exhibitionism for the purpose of sexual stimulation or gratification
of another.
Permitting a child to engage in sexual activity which is not developmentally appropriate when such
activity results in the child suffering emotional impairment.
Using a child in a sexual performance such as a photograph, play, motion picture or dance regardless of
whether the material itself is obscene.
Giving indecent material to a child.
Sexual abuse and maltreatment include such criminal offenses as sexual assault, indecent exposure, rape,
sodomy, other non-consensual sexual conduct and prostitution.

Procedures for Reporting Suspected Abuse & Maltreatment

1. Ensure that the child is in a safe environment. If the child is in imminent danger, call 911 immediately to
obtain protection for the child.
2. In cases of observed molestation or physical abuse or in medical emergencies, call 911 immediately.
3. Do not directly question or solicit information from the child or the person suspected of improper
behavior. The role of investigation is the responsibility of the appropriate authorities.
4. Mandated Reporters must immediately report the suspected abuse by telephone to the New York
Statewide Central Register of Child Abuse and Maltreatment (SCR). The SCR is open 24 hours a day, seven
days a week. Reporters are not required to notify the parents or other persons legally responsible for the
child, either before or after a call is made to SCR. In some instances, alerting a parent or guardian may
hinder the local Child Protective Services (CPS) investigation and adversely affect its ability to assess the
childs safety.
Reports may be made anonymously. Although you arent required to give your name, it is recommended that
you do so. A caseworker may want to contact you for clarification or to obtain additional information. Your
name will be kept confidential.
The following telephone numbers should be used to report suspected child abuse or maltreatment:
Mandated Reporters - (800) 635-1522
Public Hotline - (800) 342-3720
The CPS Specialist who answers your call will ask you for as much information as you can provide about the
suspected child abuse or maltreatment and/or the family about which you are calling. Even if you have very
little information available to you, you must still report the suspected abuse. The following are examples of
some of the questions you may be asked:
What is the nature and extent of the child's injuries or the risk of harm to the child?
Have there been any prior suspicious injuries to this child or his/ her siblings?
What is the child's name, home address and age?
What is the name and address of the parent or other person legally responsible (or third party) who
caused the injury or created the risk of harm to the child?
What are the names and addresses of the child's siblings and parents, if different from the information
provided above?
Do you have any information regarding other treatment of the child?
5. Oral reports to the SCR from a Mandated Reporter must be followed within 48 hours by a written report
to the local department of social services CPS unit on form LDSS-2221A. A copy of this form and the local
Page 101 of 203

mailing address can be obtained by contacting your local department of social services, by visiting the
New York State Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) website at www.ocfs.state.ny.us/main/cps
(for a copy of the form) and www.ocfs.state.ny.us/main/localdss.asp (for the local address,) or by
contacting the Legal Department. The OCFS website is also a useful source of additional information on
child abuse and reporting obligations.
6. All individuals reporting suspected child abuse or neglect, including those not required by law to report
the incident to SCR, must at a minimum report the incident to: (i) the program director (if any); and (ii)
the dean of student affairs, assistant dean for student affairs or director of human resources, who will
determine appropriate next steps.
7. Individuals reporting suspicions or knowledge of child abuse or neglect must also file a report with the
Schools Legal Department as soon as practicable. A reporting form can be found in Appendix A to this
Policy and is also available from the Legal Department. Juilliard will, as a matter of policy, conduct its
own internal investigation of allegations of child abuse. All information submitted to Legal, including the
identity of the reporter, will remain confidential.
If an allegation of child abuse or inappropriate conduct is made against an Authorized Adult, as defined in
The Juilliard School Working with Minors Policy, he or she must immediately discontinue any further
participation in all programs and activities involving minors until Juilliard has resolved the allegation to its
satisfaction.
At any point in the foregoing process, any individual reporting an incident of suspected child abuse may
contact the Legal Department for help or guidance.
Consequence of Abuse & Maltreatment

Any member of the Juilliard community who is convicted of the abuse of a minor, regardless of whether the
abuse occurred on or off campus, will be terminated from employment or dismissed from the School. If
Juilliard determines, by a preponderance of the evidence, that any member of the School community has
abused a child, either on or off campus, Juilliard may impose disciplinary action up to and including
termination of employment or dismissal from the School.
Retaliation, Immunity, and Other Obligations

Retaliation
Retaliatory action taken against anyone acting in good faith who has reported child abuse or who has been
involved in reporting, investigating or responding to child abuse will be subject to discipline, up to and
including termination of employment or dismissal from the School.
Immunity
Under New York law, any person, official or institution participating in good faith in the making of a report of
child abuse or maltreatment, the taking of photographs in connection therewith or the removal or keeping of
a child suspected of being a victim of child abuse has immunity from any liability, civil or criminal, that might
otherwise result by reason of such actions.
Other Obligations
Any person required to report suspected child abuse in his/her capacity as a faculty or staff member shall
immediately notify the Legal Department or the dean of student affairs.
Penalties for Failure to Report Child Abuse or Maltreatment

Under New York law, any person, official or institution required to report a case of suspected child abuse or
maltreatment who willfully fails to do so is guilty of a Class A Misdemeanor and is civilly liable for any
damages caused by such failure.

Computer Use Policy
The use of The Juilliard Schools information technology systems, including its computer systems, networks
and the data contained therein, is governed by a set of rules contained in the Computer Use Policy. All users
are expected to familiarize themselves with these policies and sign a memorandum of understanding stating
such.
A. Institutional Privileges
System administrators may monitor and log usage data and may review this data for evidence of violation;
when necessary, they may monitor all the activities and inspect the files of specific users on their computers
and networks. System administrators may suspend privileges of an individual user for reasons relating to
physical or emotional safety and well-being, or for reasons relating to the safety and well-being of other
members of the Juilliard community or Juilliard property.
Juilliard retains ownership of all administrative information created by its employees. Departments that
operate their own computers may add, with the approval of the appropriate senior staff member, individual
guidelines that supplement, but do not relax, this policy.
B. Institutional Responsibilities
Juilliard presents no warranty, either expressly stated or implied, for the services provided; damages
resulting directly and indirectly from the use of these resources are the responsibility of the user. Juilliard
does not and will not act as a censor of information but will investigate properly identified allegations arising
from the Juilliard community and will comply with applicable state and federal laws. Juilliard will fully
comply with the authorities to provide any information necessary for the litigation process and will report
criminal offenses to the appropriate authorities.
C. Security
Physical
Access to the computer operations area is restricted to those responsible for operation and maintenance. No
individuals are allowed in Juilliards I.T. or Library server rooms unless they are under close and immediate
supervision of an I.T. staff member or authorized Library staff member. Tampering with equipment is
prohibited.
Network
The owner of a private computer connected to Juilliards network is responsible for the behavior of its users
and for all network traffic to and from that computer. A private computer is defined as a non-Juilliard owned
computing device, including any type of PC (personal computer) or smartphone, tablet device, game console
or any other computing device. Private computers must not be used to provide network access to individuals
who do not have access through official Juilliard systems or as a router to other networks or to non-Juilliard
affiliated systems. Private computers must not use the Juilliard network for commercial gain or profit. It is the
responsibility of users to ensure that an appropriate level of security is implemented on private devices that
connect to the Juilliard network. Smartphones MUST be password-protected and users are expected to deploy
an anti-virus solution such as Juilliards free anti-virus tool.
Users may not alter the Juilliard network infrastructure (including ResNet) by installing any unauthorized
networking equipment including (but not limited to) hubs, switches, routers, or wireless access points of any
kind without the expressed permission of the I.T. Department. It is also a violation to install any devices or
programs on Juilliard networked or any other PC or computing device connected to the Juilliard network
(including ResNet) that are designed to alter, reshape, affect, monitor, or intercept network traffic.
The Juilliard School reserves the right to terminate or limit the network connectivity of any user whose
online activities are deemed detrimental to the health of the network.
Administrative Data
Access to administrative systems is based on the need to use specific data, as defined by job duties, and will
be annually re-evaluated by the supervisor. Student employees are to safeguard the integrity, accuracy, and
Page 103 of 203

confidentiality of information as part of the condition of employment. Any person authorized to access
information of any type is not to remove any official record, report or copy from the office where it is kept
except in performance of job responsibilities. Any person authorized to access information is not to make or
permit unauthorized use of that information. Employees who attempt unauthorized access to administrative
computer access IDs are subject to disciplinary measures. Improper access to or unauthorized disclosure of
confidential information may be a violation of federal law. Users must hold confidential any administrative
data after termination of employment with Juilliard.
Monitors should be positioned to prevent unauthorized reading of sensitive information. Users are also
strongly advised to lock their workstations when leaving them even for only a few minutes. Windows
workstations can be locked by hitting Ctrl + Alt +Delete keys. They are unlocked by providing the network
access password. Storage or dissemination of non-electronic forms of administrative information must
safeguard against unauthorized viewing as well as loss due to accidents or acts of nature. Good judgment
should be used in the storage and disposal of administrative data. Electronic storage media (thumb drives,
external drives) and paper copies should be stored in secure places; when it is necessary to discard
information, data should be removed from these devices and paper copies should be shredded. Department
heads are responsible for implementing procedures to maintain access security and for educating their
employees regarding these procedures.
All Juilliard-related work files should be stored in the My Documents folder or on the appropriate
Departmental network location. This folder is located on the network, and is backed up nightly to safeguard
against loss of data. Employees are encouraged NOT to store important Juilliard files on the computer itself
(the C: drive, or internal hard drive). Personal files may be stored on the computer (the C: drive, or
internal hard drive). The I.T. Department is NOT responsible for the preservation or content of these files, and
may remove any applications or files it deems in violation of this Computer Use Policy. Personal files, such as
music (mp3), video, and high-resolution pictures, may NOT be stored in the My Documents folder or on a
network share.
Students must provide identification to access their own data. Parents must provide written evidence that a
student is their dependent to access the students data unless specific permission is given by the student
(refer to FERPA guidelines). Individuals who are on leave of absence or whose employment has been
terminated for reasons other than retirement with reemployment rights have the right of access to their
records. Legal representatives of deceased faculty and staff members shall have the right of access for five
years after the death of the individual.
User Accountability
Any attempts to secure a higher level of privileges on networked systems are punishable disciplinary
offenses. Gaining unauthorized access to a system or area of a system using knowledge of access abilities
gained during a previous position at Juilliard is prohibited. Under no circumstances may individuals give
others access to any system they do not administer. Gaining access to non-public computers, network
facilities, information services and resources is a violation of this policy.
Any user who finds a possible security lapse on a Juilliard system must immediately report it to the system
administrator. Loopholes in system security or knowledge of a special password are not to be used to damage
systems or obtain unauthorized services. Users are expected not to develop programs or use mechanisms to
alter or avoid accounting, or to employ means by which the facilities and systems are used anonymously or
by means of an alias. Use of systems and/or networks to connect to other systems, in evasion of the security
limitations of the remote system/network, is prohibited. Users must not physically or electronically attach
any international device without specific authorization. Rules prohibiting theft or vandalism apply to
authorization codes, long distance telephone services, television signals and service information, as well as to
physical equipment.
Integrity of Use
Any person authorized to access information is not to knowingly include in any record or report a false,
inaccurate, or misleading entry. The creation, alteration, or deletion of any electronic information contained
in or posted to any Juilliard computer or affiliated network will be considered forgery. Knowingly accepting
Page 104 of 203

or using information that has been obtained by illegal means is a violation of others rights and is subject to
disciplinary action. The use of Juilliard computing facilities to effect or receive unauthorized electronic
transfer of funds is prohibited.
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Software Policy

The School's computing and telecommunications resources shall not be used for any type of P2P file
sharing without the express consent of the I.T. Department.
The I.T. Department employs traffic-shaping tools to control P2P traffic on the Juilliard School network.
The I.T. Department, in consultation with the Office of Legal Affairs, will consent to the use of P2P software
on a per-user basis only when provided with specific, written purposes directly related to, or in support of,
the academic, research, or administrative activities of the School.
Permission to use P2P software may be revoked at the discretion of the I.T. Department. This includes but
is not limited to the following reasons: service abuse, degradation of the performance of the network, or
use for purposes other than School business.
It is a violation of The Juilliard School, New York State and federal regulations to illegally share
copyrighted material using P2P or other tools.
User Responsibility
Network users shall not knowingly download, install, or use P2P software on either Juilliards wired or
wireless network.
Network users shall remove any P2P software that is discovered on any resource attached to the Juilliard
School network, including personal property, unless granted specific permission by the I.T. Department
to be used.
Enforcement of Policies
If a system is detected engaging in unauthorized P2P activity on the wired or wireless networks, sanctions
that range from a temporary block on the offending machine to other disciplinary actions may be applied.
Copyright
Users must abide by all applicable copyright laws and licenses. Users are responsible for using available
mechanisms and procedures to protect their own programs, programs in software libraries, and data. Users
are also responsible for assisting in the protection of the systems they use. Employees are not allowed to copy
programs, take them home, distribute, or sell them to others. Juilliard reserves the right to refuse to defend
any faculty, student, or staff member named in a lawsuit arising out of alleged copyright infringement
activity, and to refuse to pay any damages awarded by a court of law against such person.
Network
Security for access to the network, files, and applications on a server will be implemented via ID/password.
Accounts
Computer accounts are owned by Juilliard and are to be used for Juilliard-related activities only. Accounts
remain in effect as long as the user maintains an official relationship with Juilliard. Any employee who does
not access an administrative system in a one-year time period will have access removed and must be
reauthorized for access. Access managers will immediately delete the access of employees who have been
terminated by Juilliard. Employees who resign may keep their Juilliard email account for up to two months
after resignation. All other access for these employees will be terminated. Providing false or misleading
information for the purpose of obtaining access to computing facilities is prohibited and may be regarded as
an offense to the disciplinary code and treated accordingly by Juilliard.
Employees are accountable for the activities on their workstation. Sharing of IDs is prohibited. Workstations
must be logged off to a point that requires a new logon whenever employees leave their work area. Access to
Juilliard Computing resources requires a valid username and password combination. The system locks out a
user after 10 unsuccessful attempts to log on. Locked out users can unlock their own accounts if they are
enrolled in the password management tool.
Page 105 of 203

Administrative accounts in the Windows domain are subject to a password complexity requirement enforced
by Active Directory group policy. Passwords must contain a minimum of 6 characters, and characters from 3
of the following 4 character groups must be present: uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers and
alphanumeric symbols. The chosen passwords may not contain the accounts username, and the last 6
passwords set by a user are remembered and blocked from re-use. Passwords must be changed every 120
days.
Colleague users log into the Colleague system and passwords expire every 180 days. Passwords must be at
least 6 characters, but there is no maximum limit, and the first 6 characters of the password must contain at
least two alphabetic and one numeric character. Only the first 8 characters are encrypted. Five consecutive
failed logon attempts will result in the account being locked out for 1 hour.
No user ID or administrative system may be used for unethical, illegal, or criminal purposes. Accessing files or
directories of other users is not permitted without consent of the other user. Remotely logging onto or
otherwise using any workstations or computers not designated explicitly for public logons is not permitted
without consent from the owner. Users must not conceal or cover up violations by anyone.
D. Individual Privileges
Privacy
Users must respect the privacy and personal rights of others. Computer programs, email, voice mail and
electronic files can only be accessed by authorized personnel for compelling business or security reasons and
only with the approval of the president. Information that users obtain through special privileges is private.
User privacy cannot be extended under conditions such as a program causing disruption to the network or
other shared resources or the suspected violation of Juilliards guidelines of behavior or state or federal law.
System administrators may view the contents of email due to serious addressing errors or as a result of
maintaining the email system.
Freedom of Expression
The constitutional right to freedom of speech applies no matter what medium is used. System administrators
will not remove any information from individual accounts unless the information involves illegality,
endangers computing resources, is inconsistent with the mission of the institution or involves obscene,
bigoted, or abusive language; users who wish to appeal such removal of information may contact Legal.
Responsible Use
While some incidental personal use of Juilliard computing resources may be allowed, it is not appropriate for
employees to convert Juilliard resources to private endeavors. No administrative computing system may be
used for improper purposes, such as computer games or the playing of practical jokes. Users should, where
possible, conserve paper by not printing unnecessary listings or multiple copies of files. Users must check
thoroughly for all errors and corrections before printing documents. Users must print only academic, School
life or job-related work. The messaging services should not be used to send rude, obscene, harassing, or
illegal materials. Potentially offensive material is not to be forwarded to others without their consent.
Downloading onto your desktop any inappropriate images, photos, sounds, email attachments or messages is
prohibited; refrain from transmitting to others inappropriate images, sounds, or messages which might
reasonably be considered harassing. Users must not use any communications services to intimidate, insult, or
harass others. Users must not use mail or messaging services for broadcasting unsolicited messages.
Email
Student, staff and faculty mailboxes are set to 50GB in size. Students email accounts are granted for life. Upon
graduation, student email accounts are converted to self-service alumni accounts with a maximum capacity of
5GB. As part of Office365, users are also provided up to 1TB of cloud data storage as part of OneDrive for
Business.
Discipline
Violations of this policy will be subject to the disciplinary procedures as stated in this handbook, whichever is
applicable.
Page 106 of 203

Abuse of Privilege
Users must not use any communications services to intimidate, insult, or harass others. Potentially offensive
material is not to be forwarded to others. Chain letters and other forms of mass mailings are not allowed.
Users must not use mail or messaging services for broadcasting unsolicited messages. Changing another
persons password is considered a form of harassment. Users must not display on screens in shared facilities
images, sounds, or messages which could create an atmosphere of discomfort or harassment to others; users
must refrain from transmitting to others inappropriate images, sounds, or messages which might reasonably be
considered harassing.
No one should look at, copy, alter, or destroy anyone elses personal files without explicit permission, unless
authorized to do so by law or regulation. Knowingly accepting or using information which has been obtained
by illegal means is subject to disciplinary action. Gaining access to non-public computers, network facilities,
information services and resources is a violation of the policy. The use of Juilliard computing facilities to send
or receive unauthorized electronic transfer of funds is prohibited.
Rules prohibiting theft or vandalism apply to authorization codes, long distance telephone services, television
signals and service information as well as to physical equipment. No one should deliberately attempt to
degrade the performance of an information system (including computer, network, telephone/video systems).
Public Facilities
Users must be sensitive to the needs of others and use only their fair share of computing resources including
Internet bandwidth. Users must refrain from holding (without activity) public terminals. Users must not
place signs placed on devices to "reserve" them without authorization. Users must not lock a computer or
other device which is in a public facility. Public terminals may only be used for their designated purpose.
Users must be sure to log off after using public terminals.
E. Lab Usage Policy

By entering the computer lab, users agree to the following:
Only current Juilliard faculty, staff, interns and students are allowed to use machines in the lab. A valid
Juilliard ID is required for entry to the lab. Access is on a first-come, first serve basis and users may use
any free workstation.
During busy periods, lab users are encouraged to be considerate of others and limit their usage.
You are not permitted to install any software onto Juilliard machines.
You may not bring any food or beverages into the lab. You will be liable for any damage that occurs.
Under a networked Print Accounting System, each student is allocated $50 worth of printing privilege
(500 pages). When this is used up, students can replenish their printing accounts from the Business Office
at a rate of $0.10 per black & white page and $0.25 per color page. Check your balance: print.juilliard.edu
The Student Computer Lab is open from 8AM to 11PM, 7 days a week.
The School will not be held liable for any material you send or receive over the Internet.
You agree not to use the lab for illegal purposes or for the transmission of material that is unlawful,
harassing, libelous, invasive of anothers privacy, abusive, threatening, harmful, vulgar, obscene, tortuous,
or otherwise objectionable, or that infringes or may infringe the intellectual property or other rights of
another.
Juilliard reserves the right to restrict computer usage if it is deemed inappropriate for the educational
environment.
You agree that Juilliard may in its sole discretion terminate your account if it believes you have in any
way violated the Terms of Service.
F. Lila Acheson Wallace Library Computer Use Policy

The Library computer network provides access to JUILCAT, Juilliard online library catalog, as well as to a
number of electronic resources. These computers are designed to be used for reference and research
purposes only. Three computers at the far end of the library reference room have been designated for Web
browsing. There is a twenty (20) minute time limit on use of these computers. Use of other computers in the
library for Web browsing or email is forbidden.

Copyright and Fair Use Policy
"To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the
exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries" U.S. Constitution, Article 1, Section 8
The Juilliard School expects all members of its community to respect the rights of ownership of intellectual
property by adhering to United States copyright laws. The law grants copyright holders the exclusive right to
reproduce, distribute, perform, and prepare derivative works from the original work. The full text of the
copyright law is available on the U.S. Copyright Office Web site at: http://www.copyright.gov/
The law also specifies limitations on these exclusive rights under the terms of fair use, which provide
exceptions to the rights of copyright holders in certain cases, allowing people to use portions of works for
nonprofit, academic, and other purposes provided those uses stay within certain bounds. There are four
basic attributes involved in determining fair use:
the purpose or character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for
nonprofit educational purposes;
the nature of the copyrighted work;
the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole;
and,
the effect of the intended use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
To aid in interpretation of fair use, institutions may follow or endorse guidelines developed by scholarly and
library organizations. While helpful, these guidelines are not law, and courts reviewing copyright cases many
not necessarily make a ruling based on such guidelines. Below are links to selected guidelines used by
Juilliard in determining fair use:
Music Library Association. Statement on the Copyright Law and Fair Use in Music:
http://copyright.musiclibraryassoc.org/
Music Publishers Association. Copyright Resource Center. Copying Under Copyright: A Practical
Guide http://www.mpa.org/content/copyright-resource-center
Coalition for Networked Information. Agreement on Guidelines for Classroom Copying in Not-For-Profit
Educational Institutions with Respect to Books and Periodicals.
http://old.cni.org/docs/infopols/NACS.html
Most uses of copyright material require permission (or licenses). Fair use is the exception. However, fair use
does not condone clearly illegal activities, such as unauthorized peer-to-peer file sharing.
Out-of-print does not mean out of copyright: under current US law, copyright lasts for 70 years after the
author's or editor's death. The accompanying chart provides a more detailed summary of when works enter
the public domain. Public domain works do not require permission. Works in the public domain include
federal government documents, and works published before 1923.
Finally, all that is possible is not necessarily legal. While new technologies allow easy duplication of text,
images, sound, and video, the materials themselves may be protected by copyright!

Questions about copyright should be directed to the Office of Legal Affairs and the vice president for library
and information resources.

Domestic Abuse and Violence Policy
Domestic abuse and violence (or intimate partner violence) is ongoing, purposeful behavior that is aimed at
dominating ones partner. Social norms and unequal distribution of resources, such as income, education
and/or employment, lead some individuals to feel entitled to control their partner.
Domestic violence can be committed by any of the following individuals:

1. a current or former spouse or intimate partner of the victim;
2. a person with whom the victim shares a child in common; or
3. a person who is cohabitating, or has cohabitated, with the victim as an intimate partner,
spouse or roommate;
According to the New York State Office for the Prevention of Sexual Violence, domestic abuse involves
repeated, ongoing, intentional control tactics used by one partner against the other. Those tactics may be
physical, sexual, economic, psychological, legal, institutional, or all of the above and often include:
Unreasonable and non-negotiable demands.
Stalking surveillance and unwanted contact.
Cruelty.
Isolating the partner from friends, family members, co-workers and others.
Restricting daily activities.
Humiliating the partner in public or in private.
Coercion a combination of demands, threats of negative consequences for noncompliance, and
surveillance.
Threats and intimidation.
Constant criticism.
Excuses, rationalizations and blame.
Stifling the partners independence.
Sexual abuse and violence.
Economic control and exploitation.
Physical violence.
Extreme jealousy, possessiveness and ridiculous accusations of infidelity.
Punishing the partner and/or children for infractions, both real and imaginary, of the abusers rules.
Ignoring a partners needs, opinions and feelings.
In order to investigate incidents of domestic or intimate partner violence and protect the Juilliard community,
victims of, and witnesses to, such crimes should immediately report incidents to the dean of student affairs,
ext. 7447 (for student reports) or the director of human resources, ext. 355 (for faculty and staff reports). Any
member of the community can also make a report to the vice president for facilities management, ext.
311. Juilliard will assist in providing counseling and support to victims of bias-related crimes through
Student Counseling Services (for students) and the Employee Assistance Program (for faculty and staff). In
cases involving an immediate threat or serious injury, victims or witnesses should call 911. Individuals
convicted of domestic violence face serious criminal penalties and are also subject to Juilliard disciplinary
sanctions, up to and including termination of employment or dismissal from the School.
Additional information and support for victims of domestic violence can be obtained from the New York State
Office for the Prevention of Sexual Violence athttp://www.opdv.ny.gov/index.html or by calling 1-800-621-
HOPE (4673), or from the New York State Coalition Against Domestic Violence at http://www.nyscadv.org/.
Victims may also contact the NYS Domestic and Sexual Violence Hotline at 1-800-942-6906.

Digital Millennium Copyright Act, the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA)
The Juilliard School of complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, the Higher Education Opportunity
Act (HEOA), and intellectual property laws through its policies and protocols. Section 668.43 of HEOA
include provisions to curb the unauthorized distribution of copyrighted materials, with particular attention
to unauthorized distribution of copyrighted materials on the campus network. These include, but are not
limited to, movies, music, images, books, and software. Several sections of the HEOA deal with unauthorized
file sharing on campus networks, imposing three general requirements on all U.S. colleges and universities:
An annual disclosure to students describing copyright law and campus policies related to violating
copyright law.
A plan to "effectively combat the unauthorized distribution of copyrighted materials" by users of its
network, including "the use of one or more technology-based deterrents".
A plan to "offer alternatives to illegal downloading".
The following is The Juilliard School plan for complying with HEOA regarding the unauthorized distribution
of copyrighted materials on the Schools campus networks.
Annual Disclosure to Students

At the start of each academic year, the School will provide a written or electronic reminder to all students,
which explains that the unauthorized distribution of copyrighted materials violates federal copyright laws as
well as institutional policies. The message also contains links to the sites where students can access
institutional policies, protocols, and guidelines.
Technology-Based Deterrents
The Juilliard School complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and the Higher Education
Opportunity Act (HEOA) and vigorously attempts to identify alleged copyright infringers. In addition, the
Office of Information Technology has protocols that result in escalating access restrictions for alleged
copyright infringers on the campus wireless network and the residence hall network, the two networks for
which the majority of copyright infringement notices are received when the School is notified of such
instances of infringements.
The Juilliard School has implemented technology based solutions to:

1. Monitor bandwidth usage of users of the campus network resources;
2. Monitor network traffic to identify the largest bandwidth users via their assigned IP number;
3. Electronically block violator's devices from the Internet;
4. Accept and respond to DMCA notices in a timely fashion.
Legal Alternatives
In addition to its efforts to educate and inform The Juilliard School community about issues relating to
copyrighted material and its procedures for handling notices and occurrences of unauthorized distribution of
copyrighted material, the School provides sources of and information about legal means of downloading and
acquiring copyrighted material.
The Library, through its subscription licensing program and library acquisitions, provides electronic books
and periodicals, sound effects and music, images, and other resources for access and streaming at
https://library.juilliard.edu/
EDUCAUSEs Legal Sources of Online Content page http://www.educause.edu/legalcontent is

supplemented with links to additional sources, including Music United http://www.musicunited.org/ ;

Equal Employment Opportunity Policy
The School provides equal employment opportunity to all persons without regard to age, gender, color, race,
national origin, religion, marital status, sexual orientation, disability, veterans status or any other basis
prohibited by law.
The policy applies to all areas of employment, including: recruitment, hiring, training and development,
promotion, transfer, termination, layoff, compensation, benefits and all other conditions and privileges of
employment in accordance with applicable Federal, State and Local laws.
The School complies with all relevant and applicable provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act of
1990 (ADA), as amended and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended. The School will not
unlawfully discriminate against any qualified employee or job applicant with respect to any terms, privileges,
access or conditions of employment because of a persons physical or mental disability. The School also will
make reasonable accommodations wherever necessary for employees or applicants with disabilities,
provided that any accommodations made do not impose an undue hardship on the School.
Although managers and supervisors are primarily responsible for ensuring the implementation of the
Schools Equal Employment Opportunity policies, all members of the faculty and staff (including student staff)
share in the responsibility for assuring that by their personal actions the policies are effective and applied
uniformly to everyone.
Anyone engaging in practices that violate the Equal Opportunity Policy, including: discrimination, harassment
or retaliation against someone who complains about discrimination shall be subject to disciplinary action, up
to and including dismissal from the school. Anyone who believes he or she has been subjected to unlawful
discrimination, harassment, retaliation or other practices in violation of the Equal Employment Opportunity
Policy should immediately contact the director of human resources.
Reports of alleged violations of this policy by students will be handled through the Schools Conduct System.
Reports of alleged violations of this policy by employees will be handled through the Faculty Grievance
Procedures and the Staff Grievance Procedures, as applicable.
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), as amended, and its implementing
regulations afford current and former students (but not applicants) certain rights with respect to their
education records.
1. The right to inspect and review the student's education records within 45 days of the schools receipt of a
written request for access.
If you want to review your record, contact the Registrars office to make appropriate arrangements. If you
want to review your record, contact the Registrars office to make appropriate arrangements. The law
does not require the School to permit the copying of records unless a failure to do so would effectively
prevent the student from obtaining access to the records. Valid identification will be requested at the
time of review and a School official will be present throughout the period of inspection. Copies of
transcripts are available and students will be provided with copies of their transcripts upon payment of
the applicable fees.
2. The right to request the amendment of the students education records that the student believes are
inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the students privacy rights under FERPA.
Page 111 of 203

A student who wishes to ask the School to amend a record should deliver a written request to the
registrar, clearly identifying the part of the record the student wants changed, and specifying why it
should be changed. The FERPA amendment process pertains only to the recording of inaccurate
information. It may not be used to challenge a grade, an opinion or a decision made by the School.
If the School decides not to amend the record as requested, the School will notify the student in writing of
the decision and the students right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional
information regarding the hearing procedures, including the right to insert a statement in the record, will
be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing.
3. The right to provide written consent before the School discloses personally identifiable information from
the student's education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent.
4. The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the
School to comply with the requirements of FERPA.
The name and address of the Office that administers FERPA is:
Family Policy Compliance Office

U.S. Department of Education
400 Maryland Avenue, SW
Washington, DC 20202-5901
Education records of a student include records, files, documents, and other materials regularly
maintained by the School in connection with a students attendance that contain information directly
related to the student. Students have a right to be provided with an inventory of the types of educational
records maintained by the School. The Registrars Office has a list of such records and will make the list
available to students wanting access to their records. The School is not required to provide information
that is not maintained or to create education records. There are a number of types of records that are
specifically excluded from the coverage of the Act. A student does not have the right to access the
following:
a. Financial records of parents.
b. Those documents classified by the law as non-educational, including: private, personal notes of
teachers, counselors, or other professionals or administrators made for their own purpose and
use only;
records maintained by a physician, therapist, or other counselor for therapeutic use only (these
may be governed by other laws);
c. Records of the Schools legal counsel; and
d. Law enforcement records.
Directory Information
The law provides that "directory information" may be released to all parties seeking this information without
prior consent of the student unless the student has specifically requested that prior consent be obtained. Such
information may be disclosed for any purpose at the discretion of the School. Juilliard hereby gives notice that
it designates the following categories of information as directory Information with respect to each student:
Name, date and place of birth, photograph, address (local and permanent), email address, telephone
number, dates of attendance, major, full or part-time status, degree(s) conferred (including dates), honors
and awards, and past and present participation in officially recognized activities, including performances.
The following directory information is provided to Juilliard faculty and staff through the Juilliard community
portal:
Student photo, major, degree, email, campus box, telephone numbers, and anticipated graduation date.
Page 112 of 203

Juilliard will not release the following information over the telephone or by email inquiries to people outside
of the Juilliard community:
Student photo, email addresses or telephone numbers. The school will release this information only if the
student has given prior consent.
A currently enrolled student can request that Juilliard not release all or part of their directory information by
filling out a non-disclosure request form through the Registrars Office. Students should carefully consider the
effect of a decision to prevent disclosure of directory information. Filing a request for non-disclosure means
that any request for information from an outside organization or person will be refused. Please note that
emergency requests for any of the above information will be handled on an individual basis by the registrar or
dean of the School.
Disclosure of Information
Information maintained on a student is under the supervision of the official custodian in a particular office.
No office maintaining a student's educational record will disclose any personally identifiable information
from that record to anyone other than that student without the written consent of the student, except as
provided below. The records of the student will be disclosed without her/his written consent as follows:
to administrative officers (or professional/clerical staff acting under their instructions) and faculty within
the School who have a legitimate educational interest in the information. Legitimate educational
interest means the demonstrated need to know by those persons who act in the students educational
interest. (This will most often occur in response to an educational request, application, or inquiry made
by the student for which the records are needed to prepare a reply);
to those federal and state government agencies and officials as provided by law;
to an agency to which the student has applied for or from which s/he has received financial aid, or which
has made decisions concerning eligibility, amount, conditions, or enforcement of terms of such aid;
to certain educational agencies and institutions, as permitted by law;
to comply with a judicial order or subpoena; and/or
to respond to a health or safety emergency, as provided by law.
Juilliard reserves the right to furnish parents or guardians of financially dependent students any information
relating to such students enrollment status. Such status is determined by the guidelines in current use by the
Financial Aid Office and will be verified according to those procedures.
Disclosure to Others
The School will disclose education records without a students prior written consent under the FERPA
exception for disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person
employed by the School in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position
(including health staff or security personnel); a person or company with whom the School has contracted as
its agent to provide a service instead of using School employees or officials (such as an attorney, auditor, or
collection agent); a person serving on the board of trustees; or a student serving on an official committee,
such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her
tasks.
A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in
order to fulfill his or her professional responsibilities to the School.
Other circumstances in which the law permits disclosure without consent include: (1) to officials of another
school in which a student seeks or intends to enroll; (2) to the parents of a dependent student (as defined in
the Internal Revenue Code); (3) in connection with a health or safety emergency; (4) in connection with the
students violation of a law or of any policy of the School governing the use or possession of alcohol or a
controlled substance; (5) pursuant to a lawful subpoena.

Challenge Procedure
1. An informal meeting will be arranged between the student and the official responsible for the
maintenance of the record in question. This meeting will take place within a reasonable period of time,
but in no case longer than three weeks while school is in session. The intent of the meeting will be to
provide an explanation or interpretation, where possible, for the information contained in the record.
2. The School has no responsibility with regard to information placed in a students file from sources
outside the institution (i.e., transcripts from schools previously attended).
3. If the result of this informal meeting is unsatisfactory to the student, a formal hearing may be requested.
This request must be made in writing to the registrar.
4. The Hearing Committee shall include the dean, vice president of academic affairs, registrar, a
representative from Student Affairs and/or the faculty, and the official custodian of the record in
question.
5. The hearing shall be conducted and decided within a reasonable period of time following the request. In
no case shall this period of time exceed 10 business days.
6. The student shall be afforded a full and fair opportunity to present evidence relevant to the issues raised.
7. The decision shall be rendered, based upon consideration of the credible evidence, within a reasonable
period of time after the conclusion of the hearing. The student shall be notified in writing of the
committees decision within 10 business days following the hearing.
8. Decisions of the Hearing Committee are final, and may result in either of two courses of action:
the deletion or correction of inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise inappropriate information; or
no change in the official record, with an opportunity for the student to include an explanatory
statement concerning information in the record. Such explanatory statement shall be maintained as a
permanent part of the students educational record.
Hazing Policy
Consistent with both the mandates of State law and the Schools position on the dignity of the individual,
Juilliard maintains that no member of The Juilliard School community (faculty, staff or students) shall engage
in any physical abuse or undignified treatment of any other member of the School community through
activities known as hazing.
Hazing is defined as: any action or situation, which recklessly or intentionally endangers the mental or
physical health or safety of another for the purpose of initiation or admission into an affiliation with an
organization. Such terms shall include, but not be limited to (i) any brutality of a physical nature, such as
whipping, beating, branding, forced calisthenics, exposure to the elements, forced consumption of any food,
liquor, drugs; or (ii) other substance or any other forced physical activity which could adversely affect the
physical health or safety of the individual.
Also included is subjection to extreme mental stress, such as sleep deprivation, forced exclusion from social
contact, or forced conduct which could result in extreme embarrassment.
The School reserves the right to investigate any rumors of alleged hazing, whether or not a direct student
complaint has been received. Students who have a grievance regarding hazing should contact the Office of
Student Affairs.
Identification (ID) Card Policy

In an effort to ensure ease of access to School facilities and to increase the safety of our campus, Juilliard
students are required to carry their ID at all times while on campus, and strongly encouraged to wear their ID
badges, especially during evenings and weekends, in order to easily distinguish Juilliard community members
from outside patrons and visitors.
New students will be issued ID cards during new student orientation and registration.
Page 114 of 203

All enrolled students must have, on their person, a student identification card while on School
property. Juilliard lanyards and card holders will be provided to each student at no cost.
The ID card is intended to serve as proof of an individuals status at the School and provide access to
many resources only available to currently-enrolled Juilliard students within the specified School
program divisions. (Note: For your safety, you should remove your ID/badge holder when off-campus.)
The ID card can be worn around your neck with an approved Juilliard lanyard or on a clip, as long as the
ID is visible and on your person.
ID cards will need to be placed in the window of all practice rooms occupied by the student. If multiple
students are practicing in a room or studio space, all ID cards should try to be displayed
Students must show their ID upon request to any School official or security officer.
A color scheme has been instituted to better identify authorized Juilliard individuals on campus:
Lanyards:
Juilliard blue & white lanyards.
ID Backgrounds/Card Holders:
Faculty and Staff White background/green trim/green card holder;
College-division students White background/red trim/red card holder;
Pre-College division student Yellow background/red trim/white card holder;
MAP division students Yellow background/red trim/white card holder;
Evening division students Blue background/red trim/blue card holder.
Armband:
Production staff will have the option to wear elastic armbands.
Please Note:

By enrolling at Juilliard, the student acknowledges and agrees that the School has the right to be concerned
about the health, safety and welfare of its students, staff and others that may be upon the School campus and
other property.
Accordingly, by enrolling in Juilliard, the student expressly consents to and authorizes the School to contact

School.
Missing Student Notification Policy & Procedure

Any institution participating in a Title IV federal student financial aid program that maintains on campus
housing facilities must establish a missing student notification policy and related procedures for those
students who live in on-campus housing and who have been missing for 24 hours in accordance with the
Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) of 2008, 20 U.S.C. 1092(j).
For the purposes of this policy, Juilliard applies this policy and procedure to ALL STUDENTS
regardless of campus residency.
Juilliard deems a student may be considered to be a missing person if the persons absence from campus is
contrary to his/her usual pattern of behavior and unusual circumstances may have caused the absence. Such
circumstances could include, but not be limited to a student who:
is reported or suspicion that the person may be a victim of foul play;
has expressed suicidal thoughts/ideas;
has drug/alcohol dependent;
is in a life threatening situation;
has been with persons who may endanger the students welfare;
is overdue to return to campus, missed a number of classes/appointments/lessons and is unheard from
after giving a specific return time to friends or family;
is unresponsive to several attempts to reach the student via email, cell, or other means.
Designation of Emergency Contact Information for College Students

During the Schools registration processes, all students are asked to designate an individual for
emergency contact purposes. That designation will remain in effect until changed or revoked by the
student.
Students can updated or change their emergency contact person and/or contact information by
contacting the Registrar or by logging into their WebAdvisor Account (wa.juilliard.edu).
Students under the age of 18 and not emancipated: If a student under the age of 18 (not emancipated)
is determined to be missing, the School is required to notify a custodial parent or guardian no more
than 24 hours after the student is determined to be missing. The dean of student affairs, in consultation
with the assistant dean of student affairs, security, and/or residence life will determine if a student is
to be considered missing, based on the reasonable provision of concerning information and evidence.
Page 116 of 203

All Students: If a student is determined to be missing, the School will notify the appropriate law
enforcement agency no later than 24 hours after the determination has been made by the dean of student
affairs, unless the local law enforcement agency was the entity that made the determination that the
student is missing.
Students contact information will be registered confidentially and will be accessible only to
authorized campus officials.
Students contact information may not be disclosed, except to law enforcement personnel in
furtherance of a missing person investigation.
Missing Student Procedure

Any individual on campus (including students, faculty, or staff) who has information that a student
may be a missing person must notify one of the following individuals immediately and follow-up by
submitting an online Incident Report:
o Todd Porter, Director of Residence Life
212-799-5000 x 7403; tporter@juilliard.edu

designated staff members listed above.
The individuals listed above, with the assistance of Juilliard Public Safety and Lincoln Center Security (if

students acquaintances and from official School information sources. Such information will include:
description, cellular phone number, clothes last worn, where the student might be, who the student
might be with, vehicle description (if applicable), information about the physical and emotional well-
being of the student, a recent photograph, a class schedule, etc.
Appropriate designated staff and other personnel across campus will be notified to aid in the search and

calls, Facebook and email.
If search efforts are unsuccessful in locating the student in a reasonable amount of time as determined by
the dean of student affairs in consultation with Security OR it is apparent immediately that the student is
a missing person (e.g. witnessed abduction), OR it has been determined that the student has been missing
for more than 24 hours, the Dean of Student Affairs (or designee) in collaboration with Juilliard Public
Safety will contact the appropriate law enforcement agency to report the student as a missing person
(Regardless of whether the student has identified a contact person, is above the age of 18, or is an
emancipated minor). Law enforcement will take charge of the investigation with assistance from School
officials.
No later than 24 hours after determining that a student is missing, the dean of student affairs, assistant
dean of student affairs, or designee will notify the emergency contact previously identified by the student
(for students 18 and over) or the custodial parent/guardian (for students under the age of 18) and advise

the Schools administrative response team and is the designated spokesperson to handle media inquiries
concerning a missing student.
The local law enforcement agency in charge of the investigation and the city public information officer
(PIO) will be consulted by School officials prior to the release of any information from the School so as
not to jeopardize any investigation.
Information provided to the media to elicit public assistance in the search for the missing person will be
handled by the local law enforcement agency.

marital status, sexual orientation, disability, veterans status or any other basis prohibited by law, in its
programs or activities. No person, will be excluded from participation in or denied the benefits of or access to
any educational program or activity provided by the School because of unlawful discrimination. This is not
only the policy of the School, it is also the mandate under applicable Federal and State laws and includes
administration of the Schools educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and
other School administered programs. .
The Schools programs and activities are conducted in compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act
of 1973, as amended, and with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended. Anyone engaging in
practices that violate the Non-Discrimination Policy, including discrimination, harassment or retaliation
against someone who complains about discrimination, will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and
including expulsion or separation from the School. Any student who believes he/she has been subjected to
unlawful discrimination, harassment, retaliation or other practices in violation of the Non-Discrimination
policy should immediately contact the dean of student affairs.

against faculty or staff, the procedures outlined in the non-discrimination policy will be used for handling
reports of alleged violation of this policy. For employees, the procedures outlined in the Faculty and Staff
handbooks will be the mechanism for handling reports of alleged violations of these policies.
Non-Harassment Policy
The Juilliard School maintains a professional work and academic environment in which all employees and
students are treated with respect and dignity. A vital element of this atmosphere is the Schools commitment
to equal opportunities and the eradication of discriminatory practices, including harassment, with the goal to
provide an academic and institutional climate of non-harassment.

race, national or ethnic origin, religion, marital status, sexual orientation, disability, veterans status, or any

Prohibition on the Marketing of Credit Cards
New York State Law (Article 129-A, 6437) prohibits the advertising, marketing, or merchandising of credit
cards to students on college campuses except pursuant to an official credit card marketing policy. The statute
was passed to address an alarming trend in which college students who lack financial management skills are
solicited for credit cards on campus and incur significant credit card debt resulting in negative credit
histories and sometimes bankruptcy. This policy fulfills Juilliards statutory obligation to adopt an official
credit card marketing policy while maintaining the ability of individual colleges to allow credit card
marketing on campus under appropriate guidelines.
Juilliard shall not sell or otherwise make available student lists to credit card companies. The term "credit
card companies" as used in this policy includes all financial institutions and any other issuers of credit cards.
The School bans the advertising, marketing or merchandising of credit cards to students on its campus
however, this policy many not apply to The Juilliard Journal.
No credit card company may advertise, market, or merchandise credit cards to students, unless they meet
substantive criteria established by the college and pursuant to time, place and manner restrictions as are
established by the college. Such criteria may include maximum interest rates, credit lines, penalties and fees.
Public Affairs Policies

The Juilliard School has established several policies governing students and media relations,
filming/photography, promotional releases, and posting/publicity. These policies help ensure the consistent
and accurate portrayal of Juilliard in the public sphere and help protect student privacy (See Public Affairs).
Media Relations Policy

The Public Affairs office is charged with coordinating all public information provided by the school to the
media and others seeking information and comment. If any member of the media contacts a student directly
with requests for School-related information or comment as a representative of Juilliard, the student must
contact news@juilliard.edu before speaking to the reporter about the topic. (This does not apply if the call is
made in reference to the students own work with no mention of a connection to the School. In this case, the
student should make it clear to the reporter they are speaking on their own behalf and not as a
representative of Juilliard.)
This allows all individuals who speak to the media on the Schools behalf to be well informed and well
prepared. If a student receives a general media inquiry, please refer the journalist to news@juilliard.edu and
communications staff will follow-up with him/her to coordinate any interviews and to ensure appropriate
access to campus.
Photography and Filming Policy

Juilliard documents student achievements and campus activities throughout the year for publication or public
relations purposes. All requests from outside persons or organizations wishing to photograph or film on The
Juilliard School campus must have the approval of the Public Affairs office, and be cleared through Security
and/or Student Affairs. Outside parties must also provide a certificate of insurance prior to any authorized
shoot. Please contact communications@juilliard.edu for more information.
Posting/Publicity Policy
All publicity, including fliers, posters and other printed announcements, must include the name of the
sponsoring department(s) or organization(s). If a printed piece does not name a sponsor, the School reserves
the right to remove such publicity. If publicity about events held on Juilliards campus is being distributed off-
campus as well, all materials (including media releases, fliers, etc.), must be reviewed by the communications
and creative services team at content@juilliard.edu regardless of who sponsors them.
Page 121 of 203

This policy is to assure that all external materials are in keeping with the Schools standards of
professionalism. All publicity must be posted on approved bulletin boards and glass showcases in approved
posting areas; a complete list of these areas available in the Student Affairs Office upon request. Posting in
unapproved areas will be permitted only in exceptional circumstances. Fliers and posters may not be placed
on boards reserved for academic departments or other specific uses, walls in any administration buildings or
on trees, plants or on glass doors/windows where they could obstruct vision.
Student organizations wishing to hang banners on campus must first obtain permission from the Office of
Student Affairs. All fliers must display a dated stamp of approval from the Office of Student Affairs
or they will be removed.
Fliers for posting in glass showcases and in residence halls will be hung by the Office of Student Affairs
student staff members; fliers posted on bulletin boards and/or other unrestricted spaces may be hung by
department or student organization members.
Material may not be of an offensive nature (e.g. language, sexist or racial, obscene). Material must state
the exact date and time of the event (.i.e. today or tomorrow is not sufficient).
Suitable materials must be used for adhering fliers and posters so as not to remove paint or cause any
other damage. Small pins or tacks should be used rather than staples or nails. If inappropriate materials
are used, the posting will be removed.
Bulletin boards maintained by resident assistants are located in the Rose Building. Other than approved
School sponsored events, chalking on campus is not allowed. Even for approved events, chalking on
the colored pavement/plaza area of the School is not allowed.
All posted material must comply with Juilliards Non-Solicitation Policy.
Promotional Releases Policy

When students are recording, copying, or capturing (in photos, drawings, videos, recordings, etc.) the
likeness, voice, appearance or personal property of other people, for either classwork or on behalf of the
school, the student must have first secured each subject's signature on an appropriate promotional release
form. Once signed, release forms must be filed with a designated department on-campus (depending upon
the nature of the assignment, e.g., academic department etc.). For more information about the process and
appropriate release forms, please contact communications@juilliard.edu.
Right to Use Images, Performances, and other Creative Depictions

Juilliard records student performances for a variety of non-commercial and commercial purposes. By
enrolling at the School, and as part of the consideration students render for their acceptance to the School,
students grant to Juilliard and its affiliates, assigns and licensees (collectively, Juilliard or the School) a
worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, freely transferable right to use their name, image, likeness, biographical
information, performances, creative depictions, voice and all other personal attributes in live and/or

derivatives thereof (collectively, Works), in any medium now existing or hereafter discovered, including
without limitation print, electronic, digital, online, audiovisual and other means of distribution, and for any
and all purposes, including commercial use, without their further consent and with or without attribution.

sponsored, promoted or otherwise provided under the auspices of Juilliard; (ii) Juilliard-provided or
endorsed classes, seminars or programs; and (iii) Juilliard-initiated interviews. Except as limited below with
respect to original works, all performances and other contributions by students which are embodied in
Works recorded by or at the School are works-for-hire, and Juilliard shall have all right, title and interest
therein; to the extent, for any reason, they are not considered works-for-hire, then to such extent all right,
title and interest in the Works, including the copyright and all renewals and extensions of copyright, are
assigned to the School. These rights apply to any Works undertaken, in whole or in part, while the student is
registered or enrolled at Juilliard, including Works recorded prior to August 2015.

By way of clarification but not limitation, Juilliard retains the right to publish, modify, format, recast,
transform, live stream, broadcast, adapt, prepare derivative works from, distribute, sell, license, publicly
display, perform, provide access to and otherwise exploit the Works as set forth above in any and all media,

publications, such as courses and other education materials); on the School's or such third party's Web site,
Intranet, virtual education platform or other virtual medium; in catalogs, brochures, publicity and marketing
materials; and on Juilliard's and/or such third party's official pages and channels on various social media sites
including, but not limited to, Facebook and YouTube.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this permission grants to Juilliard exclusive rights to use the
material underlying the Works. Students retain the copyright and all renewals and extensions of copyright in
their own original underlying material included in the Works (e.g., original music compositions, lyrics, scripts,
libretti, choreography, etc.) and are not precluded from exploiting publishing or other rights in such
underlying material.

Sexual Misconduct Policy and Adjudication Procedures (Title IX)

The Juilliard School (Juilliard or the School) is committed to providing an academic, residential and work
environment free from sexual misconduct and other forms of unlawful discrimination, and in which all
members of the School community are treated with the respect and dignity necessary to realize his or her full
potential. Sexual misconduct, which includes acts of sexual harassment, sexual assault, intimate partner
violence and other forms of unlawful discrimination is prohibited by Juilliards Sexual Misconduct Policy and
Adjudication Procedure (the Policy) as well as federal and New York State law. If there is a finding that
sexual misconduct has occurred in violation of the Schools Policy, Juilliard will take appropriation action, up
to and including, dismissal from the School or termination of employment. Any Juilliard community member
who knowingly allows sexual misconduct of another to continue or who retaliates against an individual for
reporting sexual misconduct is also in violation of the Schools Policy and subject to disciplinary action.
All members of the Juilliard community, including students and employees (faculty and staff), are protected
under and are expected to comply with this Policy. The Policy applies to both on-campus and off-campus
conduct that has a reasonable connection o Juilliard. Additionally, vendors, contractors, visitors and others
who conduct business with Juilliard or who are present on campus are required to comply with the Policy. The
Policy should be read in full and can be found here: http://www.juilliard.edu/campus-life/campus-
safety/sexual-misconduct-harassment-policy
Juilliard strongly encourages any member of the school community who has experienced sexual misconduct
or any other form of unlawful discrimination, or who has witnessed such behavior, to report the incident to
the School immediately. Once reported, Juilliard will take any appropriate action to prevent its recurrence,
remedy its effects on the Juilliard community and if necessary, discipline behavior that violates the Policy.
Reporting Sexual Misconduct
If you are in immediate danger, your first phone call should be to 911. Under any non-emergent
circumstances, reports of sexual misconduct or other unlawful discrimination should be made to the Title IX
Coordinator Kate M. Satin. The Title IX Coordinator is available to students 24 hours a day and in addition to
taking reports of misconduct or discrimination, her responsibilities include the proper implementation of the
Schools Sexual Misconduct and Adjudication Procedure, oversight and coordination of the investigation of
Policy violations for students and employees; and coordinating and conducting student and employee
trainings on the Schools Policy and relevant federal and state law pertaining to sexual violence.
Kate M. Satin, Title IX Coordinator, Room 22B, Ext. 609, ksatin@juilliard.edu
There are also several Deputy Coordinators who are designated to receive reports of sexual misconduct from
students, faculty and staff.

to make a report to law enforcement and to the schools assistance in doing so, and your rights to
interim measures to ensure your safety and well-being after making a report. The procedure for investigating
and adjudicating a report will be explained to you in detail, so that you may make a fully informed decision
about the various ways an investigation may proceed. Please note that Juilliard will make every effort to
protect your privacy during an investigation, however complete confidentiality cannot be guaranteed as
investigations most often involve interviews of those involved and may include disclosure of information to
law enforcement. In addition, should a student decide not to proceed with a School investigation, the school
may have to continue without the students cooperation, if, for example, the conduct reported constitutes a
danger to the campus as a whole or may constitute a violation of the New York City Penal Law. No matter your
decision regarding a school investigation, confidential resources are always available to you through Juilliards
Health and Counseling Services.
Other Reporting Options

Juilliards investigation of a Policy violation does not preempt or supersede any legal procedure or remedies
otherwise available to a victim of sexual misconduct or other unlawful discrimination. Alternatively, or in
addition to making a report to the School and/or law enforcement, a student has the right to make a report to
the Office of Civil Rights.

New York State Enough is Enough Legislation: Affirmative Consent, Amnesty and the Campus Sexual
Assault Bill of Rights
In 2015, the New York State Legislature passed a law defining Consent (Affirmative Consent), protecting
students who have experienced or observed sexual violence while under the influence of drugs or alcohol
(Amnesty) and defining your rights as a student when reporting sexual misconduct to the School.
Definition of Affirmative Consent

Affirmative consent is a knowing, voluntary and mutual decision among all participants to engage in a sexual
activity. Consent can be given by words or actions, as long as those words or actions create clear permission
regarding willingness to engage in sexual activity. Silence or lack of resistance, in and of itself, does not
demonstrate consent. The definition of consent does not vary based upon participants sex, sexual orientation,
gender identity or gender expression.
Amnesty

be subject to discipline under Juilliards Code of Conduct for violations of alcohol and/or drugs use policies for
alcohol and/or drug use occurring at the time of the incident (whether that use was voluntary or involuntary).
Campus Sexual Assault Bill of Rights

All members of the Juilliard community have the right to:
1. Make a report to local law enforcement and/or state police;
2. Have disclosures of domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, and sexual assault treated seriously;
3. Make a decision about whether or not to disclose a crime or violation and participate in the judicial or
conduct process and/or criminal justice process free from pressure by the institution;

Stalking Policy
Stalking generally involves one persons obsessive and unwanted behavior toward another person. Under
New York law, stalking is defined as engaging in a pattern of repeated and unwanted attention, harassment,
contact or any other course of conduct against a specific person that:
1. is likely to cause reasonable fear of material harm to the physical health, safety or property of such
person, a member of such person's immediate family or a third party with whom such person is
acquainted; or
2. causes material harm to the mental or emotional health of such person, where such conduct consists of
following, telephoning or initiating communication or contact with such person, a member of such
person's immediate family or a third party with whom such person is acquainted, and the actor was
previously clearly informed to cease that conduct; or
3. is likely to cause such person to reasonably fear that his or her employment, business or career is
threatened, where such conduct consists of appearing, telephoning or initiating communication or
contact at such person's place of employment or business, and the actor was previously clearly informed
to cease that conduct.
This includes cyber-stalking, a particular form of stalking in which electronic media such as the Internet,
social networks, blogs, cell phones, texts or other similar devices or forms of contact are used to pursue,
harass, intimidate, threaten or make unwelcome contact with another person.
While some stalkers are strangers or acquaintances of those they target, most are current or former spouses
or intimate partners. Stalking can occur during a relationship or after it has ended. Many intimate partner
stalkers also physically or sexually assault their victims or threaten to do so.
Page 125 of 203

Stalking often involves the following behaviors:
following you or showing up wherever you are;
driving by or hanging out near your home, school, or workplace, or any other place you normally go;
communicating with you or trying to do so after youve told them not to, including:
o calling you on the phone (including hang-ups);
o texting you or sending you messages via social networking sites;
o sending you unwanted letters, cards, emails, or gifts;
o asking your family, friends, co-workers, children, or others to leave messages for you or to find out
information about you;
monitoring your phone calls or computer use;
damaging your home, car or other property (or threatening to do so);
accessing your online accounts and other secure personal information; or
taking other actions that control, track, intimidate or frighten you.
If you are being stalked, it is important to keep a written record, including:

the date;
the time;
a description of the incident;
location of the incident; and
any witnesses, including their names, addresses, and phone numbers.
This information could be useful should you decide to seek help from law enforcement or the courts.
Individuals who are convicted of the crime of stalking face serious penalties of up to seven years in prison.
Juilliard students, faculty and staff accused of stalking are also subject to School disciplinary sanctions, up to
and including termination of employment or dismissal from the School.
In order to investigate incidents of stalking and protect the Juilliard community, victims of, and witnesses to,
such behavior should report incidents to the dean of student affairs, ext. 7447 (for student reports) or the
director of human resources, ext. 355 (for faculty and staff reports). Any member of the community can also
make a report to the vice president for facilities management, ext. 311. Juilliard will assist in providing
counseling and support to stalking victims through Student Counseling Services (for students) and the
Employee Assistance Program (for faculty and staff). In cases involving an immediate threat or serious
injury, victims or witnesses should call 911.
Additional information and resources can be obtained from the New York State Office for the Prevention of
Sexual Violence at http://www.opdv.ny.gov/professionals/criminal_justice/stalking/stalking-
infoguide.html or by calling 1-800-621-HOPE (4673). Victims may also obtain assistance by calling the Safe
Horizon Crime Victims Hotline at 1-866-689-HELP (4357).
Student Organization Fundraising

Recognized student organizations are allowed to participate in fundraising activities. Fundraising activities
include both sales and solicitation of donations. There are certain policies and procedures that need to be
followed in order for an activity to be permitted. All activities of this nature need to be registered and
approved by the assistant dean of student affairs or designee. Contact Student Affairs for a copy of the full
policy and the registration form.
Studio and Practice Room Policy

These rules and guidelines are for all practice rooms and studio spaces. College students may reserve a
practice room through the reservation system during normal building hours. Each Department Head
assigning studio spaces is responsible for ensuring that this policy is distributed and signed. No practicing is
permitted at any time in teaching studios, dance or drama classrooms and studios except by prior
arrangement. Contact the Registrars Office, Room 224.
Page 126 of 203

Practice rooms are for registered students only on a first-come basis. There is no guarantee that
practice rooms will be available.
Students are required to use the electronic kiosks located throughout the 4th and 5th floors to sign-in
and reserve a practice room. Please go to http://www.juilliard.edu/practice-rooms for a step by step
process of how to reserve a room.
To see room availability at any given time, log into rooms.juilliard.edu. If you attempt to sign into a room
and the system says there is no availability, it is either because students in your program do not have
authorization to use a room at that time or because all rooms are currently being occupied.
Students are required to sign out of the room when finished, as per the instructions at
http://www.juilliard.edu/practice-rooms
If a student leaves the room for more than 15 minutes, the room is automatically forfeited and becomes
available in the reservation system.
By reserving a room in the system, the student assumes responsibility for the duration of the reservation
period. While other Juilliard students may be in the room for rehearsal purposes, the student who
reserves the room remains responsible for the space and the equipment in the room.
Students must display the same Juilliard photo ID card used to make the reservation in the door
window at all times.
Students are not permitted to bring guests from outside Juilliard to practice in, or otherwise use,
Juilliard practice rooms.
Do NOT leave instruments and/or personal items unattended. Juilliard is not responsible for lost or
stolen property, either during a reservation or if you leave your belongings in the room after your
reservation ends. Please contact the Security Desk, ext. 246, to report missing property.
No food or beverages are allowed in practice rooms.
Pianos may not be moved.
Piano stools, benches, chairs, and music stands must remain in the room.
Any damage must be reported as quickly as possible to the Building Manager's Office, ext. 311 or the
Security Desk, ext. 246.
Please contact Piano Maintenance, ext. 276, if a piano is in need of tuning or repair.
No practicing is permitted at any time in teaching studios, dance or drama classrooms and studios
except by prior arrangement through the Registrars Office.
All community members are expected to be considerate and civil when obtaining or utilizing a
practice room.
These regulations will be strictly enforced.
Violating the Studio or Practice Room Policy

The provision of a studio or practice room space is a privilege. The following sequential actions will be
initiated against individuals violating this policy. If a serious violation occurs, disciplinary action may be
imposed without an initial or written warning. The disciplinary sanctions within the Student Code of Conduct
describe the list of sanctions that may be imposed.
a. Initial Warning: A student who violates studio or practice room rule will receive an initial warning either
from faculty or from School staff. This will be reported to a security officer for record keeping.
b. Written Warning: A repeat offense will result in a written warning that will be placed in the student's file
and may include a temporary loss of studio or practice room space privileges. This may be initiated by
faculty or from School staff.
c. Disciplinary Action: Further abuse of this policy will be forwarded to the dean or assistant dean of
student affairs for disciplinary action. This may result in permanent loss of studio or practice room space
privileges and/or other disciplinary sanctions including but not limited to Disciplinary Warning or
Disciplinary Probation.

Office Phone: 212-799-5000 ext. 255
Email: dancedivision@juilliard.edu
The Juilliard School Dance Division offers a four-year conservatory program leading to either a Bachelor of
Fine Arts degree or an undergraduate Diploma.
The Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Dance is a full four-year program of study and includes a Liberal Arts
curriculum.
The undergraduate Diploma in Dance is a full four-year program of study but does not include a Liberal Arts
curriculum.
A Way of Working
You know already that dance is an effort by and for the community. We take classes together, rehearse and
create together, and finally perform together. While you are at Juilliard, everyone involved in your education
will be focused on your personal development and growth as a dancer and artist. We also hope that you will
come to understand the power of the ensemble. The goal is that you maintain your unique individuality while
performing in a company of other dancers.
The Dance Division portion of the Student Handbook, along with the Technical Standards, are to be read in
conjunction with Juilliards Essential Elements of the Curriculum and Academic Standards and Regulations.
Together these documents relate to you the expectations of the Dance Division and illuminate the way in which
you can best utilize your time and energy while training at Juilliard. They also represent a contract between us
that you will be asked to read and sign at the beginning of each year. There are many rules and regulations put
forth in these documents to communicate and state clearly the guidelines for working in the Dance Division
and at The Juilliard School. They are not meant to stifle artistic growth or creative spirit, since our belief as a
faculty is in a long-held truth about dance: That discipline becomes freedom. This is a notion we truly support.

Faculty Advisors
Each class has faculty advisors whose job it is to discuss any problems and offer advice and counseling. They are
an important resource; please reach out to them if you are having difficulty. The advisors are:
1st Year: Francisco Martinez and Taryn Kaschock Russell
2nd Year: Jerome Begin and Laura Glenn (with Jeff Edwards)
3rd Year: Terese Capucilli and Espen Giljane
4th Year: Lawrence Rhodes
Class meetings with faculty advisors will be scheduled throughout the year to coincide with the Student Rep
meetings. All faculty members are available for consultation on an as needed basis, but for a discussion of any
length, please make an appointment with the faculty member.
Community
The studios, the theaters, the hallways, and the dressing rooms are all shared spaces. Be considerate of
others. Clean up after yourself. Maintain personal hygiene appropriate to the work.
There is no eating or drinking (other than water) in the studios.
Cell phones are banned from use in the studios during class or rehearsal. Students who do not abide by this
policy are at risk of being asked to leave the class and/or rehearsal.
The level of professionalism you extend to others reflects directly on how professionally you are treated. Its
about attitude, behavior, self-presentation, and dignity. It means not just knowing how to do your job, but
demonstrating a willingness to learn, cooperating and getting along with others, showing respect, and living
up to your commitments. It also means avoiding many kinds of behaviors that cause trouble in the
workplace. No matter what kind of work you do, you will be accepted and treated like a professional if you
behave the way people expect a professional to behave.
The courtesy you demonstrate toward fellow students and faculty must extend to all with whom you
collaborate choreographers, designers, technicians, dressers, and stage managers. It is also important to
extend this courtesy to the staff, security guards, and maintenance staff members.
Arrive promptly for all classes and rehearsals and be prepared for the work of the day. Remember that you
are responsible for the energy, focus, and attitude in a class or rehearsal.
Attendance is paramount to development as a dancer. Our attendance policy aims to prepare you for the
demands of the profession. It is your responsibility to carefully review and understand the attendance policy
that appears in the Student Handbook (please ask a staff member for clarification if you do not understand
the policy). Classes are tightly scheduled and must start and end on time. If a teacher gets caught up in the
moment and begins to run late, feel free to politely remind that teacher of the time, and your need for the
scheduled break.
The intensity of this training program is also designed to reflect the realities of the profession. You will have
many long, hard days and your patience and generosity will be tested. It will often be difficult. Remember
why you are here and what you hope to achieve. Determination, willpower, and endurance are essential
elements for becoming a professional in this field.
During the academic year, permission to participate in outside engagements will be handled on a case-by-
case basis. Absences for professional reasons will not be permitted in the first semester of the first year. You,
and Juilliard, have taken on a commitment to your training honor that commitment. The growth of your
class, rehearsals, and performing opportunities are all a part of the overall plan for your development as a
dancer and an artist. It is important that you bring an intensity of focus to your work and receive all the
Page 131 of 203

benefits of the program in which you chose to enroll.
Communication
Communication is very important to all of us involved in the Dance Division. There are several avenues in place
for this to happen.
Every year each class will elect two of its members to participate as Student Representatives in a bi-
monthly meeting with the Directors of the Division. You should speak with them if there are issues that
your class would like to have brought to that meeting. Faculty advisors are assigned to each class and will
hold regular meetings to discuss issues that concern the entire class. You should feel free to talk with your
faculty advisor about any personal problem you may be experiencing.
The Directors of the Division will meet with the entire student body at least four times per year to discuss
any issues that may need clarification.
Twice a year you will be given written evaluations from each teacher with whom you work. At the end of
each semester all first-and second-year students will be scheduled for a conference with every faculty
member with whom they work. Other students may have a faculty conference upon request. A conference
can be arranged at any time by either faculty members or students if deemed necessary.
Twice a year, you will be asked to write an evaluation of each of your courses and faculty. This is your
opportunity to communicate your experiences to us in a thoughtful way.
Your faculty will be direct and personal with instruction on a regular basis. If you need clarification about
anything you dont understand, do not hesitate to ask.
If you are having trouble with another student or faculty member that you have not been able to resolve,
you may want to bring that to the attention of the Directors or Administration so that a resolution can be
found. The attempt is always to solve problems, not to assign blame.
You will have a chance, at the end of each semester, to offer your opinion of the way that the Dance Division
is working. In the spirit of open communication, do not hesitate to make your thoughts known. They are
important to us and will be considered.
Attendance Policy for Dance

The purpose of training at Juilliard is to prepare for the profession and to become the best dancer you can. The
primary way to achieve this is to be present in all of your classes and rehearsals, in order to receive and practice
the information that is being given to you by your faculty and choreographers.
Attendance is tracked and recorded daily in the Dance Division office for all classes and Dance Division events.
The policies below reflect professional behavior, and your adherence to these procedures is respectful of the
learning process during your time at Juilliard.
Please communicate about necessary absences in the following manner:

If you are sick and cannot attend class or rehearsal:
Email or call Hilary Tanabe htanabe@juilliard.edu or (212) 799-5000 x255
Please utilize the Health Office whenever necessary. Taking care of your physical and mental health should
be your top priority. When you are sick, seeing a medical professional can help put you on the road to
recovery more quickly. Call the Health Office for advice, and/or make an appointment!
Depending on the nature of your illness, you will need to decide whether your time is best spent resting at
home, or observing class. Making such determinations is part of your responsibility as a dancer. Observing
class can be beneficial to your development if your illness allows. Please do not attend class when you are
contagious and may infect others.
If you are injured and cannot attend class or rehearsal:

Email or call Taryn Kaschock Russell tkrussell@juilliard.edu or (212) 799-5000 x7078
Page 132 of 203

Please utilize the on-campus physical therapists whenever necessary. If you cannot get an appointment, go
to walk-in hours. If you need additional assistance, be in touch with Taryn.
If you have a personal emergency: Email or call Hilary Tanabe or Taryn Kaschock Russell
If you are a 4th-Year student and have an audition: Email Hilary Tanabe ahead of time and include the name of
the company/project, as well as the date and time of the audition.
If you have a professional obligation and cannot attend class or rehearsal: You must be in touch with one of the
divisions directors ahead of time to obtain permission.
Absences and Grading

It is the Divisions expectation that you will attend all classes, unless you have communicated about your
absence as indicated above.
If necessary, you may miss two classes per semester for courses that meet twice per week (i.e. ballet, mens
or pointe, modern, etc.).
If necessary, you may miss one class per semester for courses that meet once per week (i.e. partnering,
Elements of Performing, etc.).
If you miss more than two classes in any course for reasons that are not known, you will be asked to meet
with the Administrative Director.
If absences continue, you will be asked to meet with the Associate and/or Artistic Director.
Course grades are determined by each faculty member, and are based on both your effort and your progress.
Your attendance (and any habitual lateness) will be taken into consideration and reflected in your course
grades.
Student Evaluation and Examinations

Qualitative Evaluation: In performance-based requirements, all students receive intensive and continuous
evaluation on a daily basis. Dance students are evaluated by each of their instructors according to goals defined
and agreed to by the faculty. All dance students are given a written evaluation by each instructor with whom
they work at midterm of each semester. At the end of each semester, each first-and second-year student has an
individual conference with all of their technique faculty. Other students may have a faculty conference upon
request. A conference can be arranged at any time by either faculty members or students if deemed necessary.
Each student is expected to continually develop and improve the potential for dancing demonstrated in the
entrance audition. While each student progresses at an individual rate, the faculty expects that each dancer will
build technical strength in both ballet and modern dance classes and be sensitized to time, space, and
movement qualities. Students are expected to hone partnering skills and demonstrate the ability to learn varied
dance vocabularies from creators and choreographers.
At the discretion of the faculty and Division directors, students may be placed on any of three levels of status as
a result of insufficient progress or failure to meet artistic, technical, or professional requirements in dance
classes, rehearsals, or performance: "Concern," "Warning," or "Probation." This status is independent of any
disciplinary action as determined by the Scholastic Standing Committee for failure to meet standards in
classroom subjects. Grades below B- in dance technique or performance classes will automatically prompt
disciplinary action. Status may also be determined for students with a poor attendance record in Dance Division
classes. Students will be notified of any change in status in a conference with Division directors and/or by letter.
Copies of such notifications are shared with the provost and dean, dean of academic affairs, dean of student
affairs, vice president for enrollment management, and registrar. Status will be reassessed at the midpoint and
end of each semester and will return to "Good Standing" if the faculty and Division directors feel necessary
improvements have been made.
Page 133 of 203

Quantitative Evaluation: Maximum length of program: Normal residency in undergraduate degree programs is
four years. Students in Dance are expected to complete all work in a four-year time frame; a fifth full-time year
is not permitted.
Students also have the opportunity to evaluate and comment on each of their faculty and courses. Your
thoughtful feedback on course expectations and content, including effectiveness, professionalism, and
command of course material is important to the Division and carefully considered when making curriculum
improvements.
Bulletin Board
It is absolutely essential for you to come by the bulletin boards outside Studio 322 several times daily to check
for important notices, schedule changes, rehearsal schedules, costume fittings, messages to students from either
faculty or staff, as well as personal messages to students. There is no excuse for missing a rehearsal or
scheduled activity.
Cafeteria Policy
The cafeteria closes daily at 8:30 pm. Our class, rehearsal, and performance schedules are coordinated to allow
you time for three meals a day but may vary somewhat with your daily schedule.
Classroom Studies
Students having difficulty with any classroom requirement are urged to speak with the instructor of that class
as soon as possible. Students who receive a grade of incomplete must complete the requirements no later than
four weeks following the end of the semester; otherwise the grade will be recorded as a failure. All Dance
students enrolled in the BFA degree program are advised that it is extremely difficult to repeat a liberal arts
course in which they fail to achieve a passing grade. Any student who has received a non-credit grade and who
wishes to remain in the BFA degree program should consult with the Registrar and Chair of the Liberal Arts
Department to determine whether there are suitable alternatives, such as summer study, for replacing that lost
credit.
Computers
There are computer kiosks for your use located throughout the school. These computers are not to be used
during class times or rehearsals. If you are seen using the kiosks when you are supposed to be in the studio, this
will be noted and may affect your grade or standing in the Division.
Conveniences
For your use, there is a refrigerator in the hallway across from Studio 322. In the freezer next to the
refrigerator, ice and plastic baggies are available to make cold packs. Please be considerate and refill the ice
trays after each use. We have had the unfortunate experience of dancers being injured and unable to find any
ice. There are also a few instant hot/cold packs available in the Dance Office. Elastoplast, as well as some other
first-aid supplies, are located in the desk across from Studio 322. Ask in the Dance Office if you are unable to
find what you need.
Daily Schedule
The daily schedule will be viewable on the digital screens outside of studio 322. The schedule can also be
accessed online or from a mobile device. Please sign in each day to see any last-minute changes; use your
Juilliard credentials to login. You are responsible for checking the schedule on the digital screens or online
periodically throughout the day. Failure to check these schedules is not an acceptable excuse for not being
present.
Dress Code
No loose shirts, sweaters, warmers or sweats are allowed during technique classes. Only tights and a form-
fitting top or unitard are acceptable in Ballet and Modern class. Ballet shoes MUST be worn for ALL ballet
classes. Attire for other classes or rehearsals is to be established by teachers and choreographers. If your
financial situation prohibits you from having required shoes or materials, please see either Katie Friis or Taryn
Page 134 of 203

Kaschock Russell and they will help you to acquire them.
Emergencies
If there is a medical or psychological emergency, follow the instructions below. It is the responsibility of each
student to read and know these procedures.
IF THE EMERGENCY IS IN THE JUILLIARD BUILDING AND THE DANCE DIVISION OFFICE IS CLOSED CALL
SECURITY AT EXTENSION 246 or PICK UP A RED PHONE ANYWHERE IN THE BUILDING
NEVER MOVE AN INJURED PERSON IF THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO MOVE ON THEIR OWN. KEEP THEM WARM
AND QUIET AND STAY WITH THEM UNTIL PROFESSIONAL ARRIVE.
Medical Emergencies
See Medical Emergencies protocol under Health Services. If it is not a severe, life-threatening emergency,
students may choose to go to the Student Health Center or contact them at 282.
Psychological Emergencies
See Psychological Emergencies protocol under Counseling Services.
Additionally:
o Get the injured students full name and contact information (cell phone).
o Ask Juilliard Security to call 9-1-1 and to call the Student Affairs On-Call Staff member.
o Ask Juilliard Security to hold a main elevator or freight elevator for the ambulance crew.
o Have a fellow student gather the injured persons personal belongings to take to the hospital, if needed.
o If possible and able to do so, have someone accompany the injured person to the hospital.
o Call Taryn Kaschock Russell at 773-720-1234.
Evaluation of Student and Faculty Work

The goal of the Juilliard Dance Division is to train dancers who meet the standards required by todays dance
field. That is to say that our graduates are to be strong and versatile dancers, able to take on the varied demands
of todays choreographers. A command of technical styles must be complemented by an ability to work in the
ensemble and to aid the choreographer through the use of a vivid imagination and emotional availability.
You will receive open and honest feedback about your work from your faculty in the form of encouragement,
correction and criticism. In technique classes, this feedback includes hands-on physical contact. If, for any
reason, this is problematic for you, please speak to the instructor or one of the Division directors. It is important
that both physical and verbal corrections are received, understood and integrated into your work. Twice a year
there will be individual written evaluations for each student in the Division from each teacher with which they
work. At the end of each semester there will be a student conference for every first-and second-year student.
Other students may have a faculty conference upon request. Every faculty member that you work with will be
present at this conference. It is important that you look closely at the calendar for the Dance Division as it may
differ slightly from the general Juilliard calendar. A conference can be arranged at any time by either faculty
members or students if deemed necessary.
It is expected throughout your stay at Juilliard that you continually develop and improve the potential for
dancing demonstrated at your audition. Our expectations as a faculty are that you will build technical strength
in both Ballet and Modern dance classes and sensitize yourself to time, space and movement qualities. You are
expected to hone your skills as a partner and demonstrate the ability to learn varied dance vocabularies from
creators and choreographers.
Guest Choreographers, Repertory, and Casting

Over your four years at Juilliard, you will have the opportunity to work with a great variety of choreographers,
guest faculty and rehearsal directors on a variety of projects. Your performance experiences at Juilliard will
range from studio demonstrations to public performances, reviewed by preeminent dance writers. Juilliard has
Page 135 of 203

a unique standing in the dance community, somewhere between that of a purely educational institution and
that of a professional company. We try to balance your schedule so that both your education and stage
experiences get proper attention. We understand this balance is fluid; if you are feeling overwhelmed, please
come talk to us.
Each student is expected to perform twice each semester. You are given three credits a semester for Repertory,
Collaborations, and Performance, equal to that of your Ballet and Modern technique classes. In an effort to make
sure proper energy is given to your class work, the amount of performing you do each semester will be
monitored and will be limited. Ideally, each student will work on one or two major projects each semester.
Both Choreographers & Composers and Senior Production will be cast according to the needs of the
choreographers. Based on auditions the first week of school, second-year students in good academic standing
may be cast in the Choreographers & Composers project. Later in the year, third-and fourth-year students in
good standing may be cast in Senior Production. Second-, third-, and fourth-year students in good standing may
be cast in the spring repertory concert.
For the New Dances project, choreographers are chosen with the class, and the past experience of the class, in
mind. Choreographers are commissioned to use the entire class; how they choose to use the class is up to them.
We like to interfere as little as possible with the integrity of the artistic process. The New Dances project in
December is designed for the entire student body who are in good standing.
Many things are taken into consideration when selecting repertory for the spring concert: previous repertory,
flow of the program, budget, current trends, interests and ability of current students, among other issues.
Primary consideration is given to getting as many of the second-, third-, and fourth-year students to participate
as possible. How the repertory concert is cast varies from year to year. Some choreographers and directors may
cast after observing classes for a few days. Others may hold an audition. Sometimes the Artistic Director will
find it necessary to make a preliminary selection for a piece, and the choreographer will confirm the casting
once the rehearsal process begins.
Absolute equality in casting is not possible, nor is it a part of the profession. Not every dancer is a suitable
match for a work; it is up to the stewards of each piece to make that determination. We understand that each of
you is a unique dancer with particular strengths. If you are asked to be an understudy, you will be expected to
take the rehearsal process as seriously as if you were cast in a primary role. Understudy work can be
challenging; but if used properly, can be a valuable learning experience.
Occasionally, Juilliard Dance may be asked to appear in special performances, tours, or events where only a
limited number of students can participate. We feel that these opportunities are important for your
development and the visibility of the School and ask you to understand that if you are not asked to participate
in a particular event, you may be asked to do something at another time. You may use student-choreographed
work and repertory classes to augment what you may perceive are gaps in your performance experience.
Additionally, we encourage you to use summers as a time to focus on dance opportunities not available at
Juilliard.
All guest faculty, choreographers, and directors are expected to abide by the standards and principles of the
Dance Division and The Juilliard School. The Division recognizes the diversity of dance styles and techniques
available in todays dance world. Some of these assignments may be more appealing to you than others, though
all are selected to further your artistic development and understanding of your chosen art form. We advise you
to keep an open mind when working with these artists and exploring these new styles. Performance, and the
process towards performance, is fundamental to your training.
Lockers
You are entitled to choose a locker in the Dance Division dressing rooms; however, you must bring your own
lock. Dance Division dressing rooms are often used by students of other divisions and guests using the Willson
Theater; therefore, you should be in the practice of always locking your locker. You are responsible for securing
Page 136 of 203

the items in your locker, Juilliard is not. Lockers must be cleaned out at the end of each school year and any
items left over the summer will be thrown out.
Performance Project Participation Policy

Your performance commitments are monitored by the Dance Division administration and faculty to ensure that
you are able to participate fully and productively in the Dance Division program throughout the entire year.
Since independent projects (Workshops) are the only unassigned performances in your schedule, regulating
your participation in these projects is the best way for us to ensure that you are not doing too much at one time.
If you are involved in a project in which you have been cast by the Division, you are free to be involved in
additional independent projects either as a dancer or choreographer (or both), as long as your total
commitments do not exceed three (for first- and second-year dancers) or four (third-and fourth-year dancers).
Choreographing a solo for yourself counts as one commitment; dancing in someone else's piece counts as one
commitment; choreographing for other dancers counts as one commitment. If you have questions during a
particular workshop cycle, please ask.
For students enrolled in Dance Composition classes, please discuss with your composition teacher whether or
not it is advisable for you to have additional choreographic projects outside the class curriculum. We know that
performance projects may overlap. Since we want you to have as many opportunities as are appropriate, we
understand that sometimes it may be necessary for you to be involved in more projects for a short period of
time.
Personal Health
Your body is your instrument; we ask you to be smart about your self-care and remember that the year is long
and rigorous. Your full participation in your education is contingent upon your health and well-being. Do not
overload yourself. If you find yourself with more free time than you expect, go to a movie, read a great book,
take a long walk in the park, or soak in the bathtub.
Your body is your instrument; treating it with respect and integrity will help you benefit fully from all aspects of
your training. A healthy mind and body is imperative as a dancer. Knowing this to be true does not isolate us
from understanding that the pressures of this work may result in certain struggles. If, for whatever reason, you
find yourself struggling with issues such as eating disorders, smoking, alcohol, and/or drug abuse, please do not
hesitate to ask for help. Asking for help is a courageous first step and a sign of strength. We will do everything
possible to help any student who reaches out to us. All guidance from the Health and Counseling Office is free
and is confidential unless you choose to sign a release of information allowing Health or Counseling staff to
speak to an individual of your choosing.
Phones
There is an in-house phone conveniently located on the desk across from Studio 322, which is only for inside
calls to the Dance Office, Residence Hall, or the Health or Physical Therapy offices. Red phones are a direct link
to Security and are only for emergencies. Cell phones are never to be turned on in the studios. Use of a cell
phone during class or rehearsal, including texting, is strictly prohibited. Violation of this policy may warrant
dismissal of student from class/rehearsal resulting in an unexcused absence, as well as possible disciplinary
action. The red hallway phones are to be used in immediate emergency situations only. In the case of minor
injury, use the in-house phone to call security.
Physical Therapy
The PT office is located on the 22nd floor of the Rose Building and offers a variety of hours and services to meet
most students needs. Sessions are usually 20 minutes long and, if planned in advance, you will more likely be
able to get an appointment as you need however, it is unrealistic to expect immediate availability (though you
can get lucky!).
Walk-in times, priority dancers: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday from 1:50 to 2:50.
Note: No walk-in on Wednesday.
Page 137 of 203

First come, first served - you may NOT leave class early to sign up.
Walk-in should be used for urgent or new problems and for brief questions about current conditions.
Walk-in should NOT be used for on-going problems or more complex conditions. You will be better served by
scheduling appointments.
Please visit the Physical and Occupational Therapy page for the most updated and comprehensive information.
NOTE: All appointment cancellations must be submitted to the Health Office within 24 hours of your
appointment. If sufficient notice is not given, the right to make appointments may be taken away from you for a
period of time. Please remember that this courtesy extends not only to Health Office staff but also to your fellow
students. Failure to show or cancel your appointment can prevent another student from benefitting from that
time.
Recording
The photographing, sound recording, or video recording of all or any portion of a class, rehearsal or
performance without the written permission of the Dance Office, instructor, choreographer, and hall
management, is expressly forbidden. See unauthorized recordings under Academic Misconduct and Dishonesty
for more information.
Security
JUILLIARD HOSTS MANY EVENTS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, AND IT IS SOMETIMES DIFFICULT TO CONTROL WHO
IS IN THE BUILDING. PLEASE KEEP ALL OF YOUR BELONGINGS AND ANY JUILLIARD PROPERTY FOR WHICH
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE LOCKED UP AT ALL TIMES WHEN NOT IN USE.
Since you have a locker, make sure you use it. Bring a lock and NEVER leave anything of value unattended in
classrooms, dressing rooms, or the theater. There have been many instances of serious loss in the past. The
school will not reimburse you for any stolen money or items that were left unattended. If you need to bring a
large sum of cash or a valuable item (camera, musical instrument, laptop computer) into the building on a
short-term basis, we will lock it up for you in the Dance Office at your request. REMEMBER: Dressing rooms are
often used by other students/groups therefore you should always practice locking up all your personal
belongings. You may inquire about lost property, and should turn in found property, at the Building Managers
Office on the 2nd floor, room 232. You should also file an Incident Report immediately following any incident of
loss or theft.
Student Divisional Status and Action

Students begin their studies at Juilliard in Good Standing and are given every encouragement to maintain that
status throughout their program of study at the School. All students are expected to maintain a grade of at least
B in major subject and performance classes.
At the discretion of the faculty and Division directors, students may be placed on any of three levels of
Divisional Status as a result of insufficient progress or failure to meet artistic, technical or professional
requirements in dance classes or performance: Dance Concern, Dance Warning, and Dance Probation. This
status is independent from any academic status as determined by the Scholastic Standing Committee for failure
to meet standards in classroom subjects or any conduct proceedings or status outside of the Dance Division.
Grades below a B- in dance technique or performance classes will automatically prompt divisional disciplinary
action. Status may also be determined for students with a poor attendance record in Dance Division classes.
Students will be notified of any change in divisional status in a conference with Division directors and/or by
letter. Copies of such notifications are shared with the provost and dean, dean of academic affairs, dean of
student affairs, vice president for enrollment management, and the registrar. Status will be reassessed at the
midpoint and close of each semester and will return to Good Standing if the faculty and Division directors feel
necessary improvements have been made.
While each case is examined individually, students on Dance Probation status in the Division may have their
Page 138 of 203

performance schedule limited or prohibited until classroom and/or studio work improves. Students on Dance
Probation may be dismissed from school if they are unable to meet the standards described in the Essential
Elements of the Curriculum. These divisional sanctions will be implemented at the discretion of the Division
directors.
As much as the School understands that you are here to excel in your art form, successful completion of the
Bachelor of Fine Arts degree requires successful completion of academic requirements. The Dance Division and
The Juilliard School require that you maintain status of Good Standing in both Dance and Liberal Arts subjects.
Please make note of the following policies:

If it is determined by the Liberal Arts faculty or Scholastic Standing Committee that a dance major is falling
behind in academic work, tutorial sessions will be added to the students schedule. These sessions are
required and take priority over all independent projects.
Further action will be taken if it is determined that a student is in danger of failing an academic class.
Possible consequences include a suspension of all or some of the students performance privileges:
o Exclusion from upcoming workshops either as a dancer or choreographer.
o Not being cast in or being removed from major concerts.
If a student is placed on Academic Probation by the Scholastic Standing Committee, all performance
activities will be immediately suspended, at the discretion of the Division directors. Status and limitations
to your performance schedule will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and will be reexamined at the
midpoint and close of each semester.
If a students is placed on a Disciplinary Status through the Schools Disciplinary/Code of Conduct process,
all performances may be immediately suspended pending the outcome of the conduct process. The Division
and the Dean of Student Affairs or Designee with evaluate each incident on a case-by-case basis.
Studios
The Dance Division occupies rooms 320, 321, 322, 323, 334, and the Kaufman Studio. 313 is shared with the
Vocal Arts Division. On some occasions these rooms are scheduled for MAP and Pre-College classes, or other
Juilliard-sanctioned activities.
We ask that you please adhere to the following rules:

Please do NOT walk around the halls in your ballet slippers, as they pick up wax and dirt from the hallways,
which makes the studio floors slippery. The same is true of wearing street shoes in the studios.
For your own safety, please do not walk in bare feet in the hallways. Have a pair of slip-on shoes to wear
between classes and rehearsals.
Rosin is sometimes available for specific studios. Please be mindful of your rosin usage: Use only a small
amount, tap excess off of your shoes within the designated box or area, and do not spread it into hallways
or other studios.
No food or drink is allowed in the studios!!! Only bottled water is acceptable.
Currently enrolled Dance Division students may use available studio space only for the creation and
rehearsal of their own work, alone or with other Juilliard students. No other activities, and no outside
guests, are permitted in the studios without express permission in advance from the Dance Division.
Students are not permitted to have film shoots, photo shoots, performances, and other events within the
School building without seeking the proper permissions well in advance. Please be aware that such
requests are often denied, due to high demand for limited space within the building and for the safety and
security of the entire Juilliard community.
Studio Sign-Out Guidelines

Asimut is the name of our new online scheduling system. Asimut will be implemented in Fall 2016, and we may
need to tweak the studio sign-out guidelines throughout the year if we discover problems or issues with
reserving space through the system. These are our initial guidelines:
Page 139 of 203

Each Dance Division student will be able to login to the Asimut system with their Juilliard credentials. When
you log in, you will see your own schedule, and will be able to reserve studio space from any computer or
mobile device.
Dance Division students may reserve studio space via Asimut up to one week in advance. Students who
have an exceptional reason to reserve space more than one week in advance must email a detailed request
to Sandra Velasquez, Dance Division Coordinator, at svelasquez@juilliard.edu.
Depending on studio availability, each dancer may sign out one hour of space per day, and a maximum of
three hours per week (Monday-Sunday).
If you have reserved space and no longer need it, please be sure to cancel the reservation in Asimut so that
another student can make a reservation.
If you are more than 15 minutes late for your scheduled time, you forfeit your entire reserved time in the
space so that it is available for someone else to use.
Please honor everyones time in the space by finishing your rehearsal on time. Go by the time on the clock in
the studio (unless it is really wrong).
The Dance Division reserves the right to monitor studio reservations and usage, to move reservations to
other studios, and to cancel student reservations if needed for Division rehearsals or other priority activities
of the School.
Other Considerations:
When making a studio reservation in Asimut, you can add the other students with whom you will be
working to your reservation. Doing so will help keep everyones universal schedule of availability up-to-
date. Please note that if a students schedule in Asimut conflicts with the proposed reservation time, you
will not be able to add them.
Consider sharing the space with another choreographer if you are exploring movement.
Collective blocks of time will be designated for use by Comp I and Comp II students on most Saturdays.
Music students often rehearse in studio spaces that they find vacant. If you have a studio reservation and a
musician (or another student) is in the space, politely inform them that you have the studio reserved.
Reservations take priority over walk-ins.

Hours: 9 a.m. 6 p.m.
The Juilliard School Drama Division offers a four-year conservatory program leading to a Bachelor of Fine
Arts degree, Master of Fine Arts, or an undergraduate Diploma.
The Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Drama is a full four-year conservatory program in actor training
and includes a Liberal Arts curriculum.
The Master of Fine Arts in Drama is a full four-year conservatory program in actor training. The
Graduate Seminar track (offered parallel to the BFA Liberal Arts curriculum) runs through the
curriculum for all four years of training, encompassing a variety of topics including, production,
directing, playwriting, pedagogy, and current trends in American and World Theater.
The undergraduate Diploma in Drama is a full four-year conservatory program in actor training but
does not include a Liberal Arts curriculum.
Our Way of Working

It is a commonplace that theater is a uniquely collaborative art. You work hard on yourself to become as large,
as imaginative, as expressive as you can be, not as an end in itself, but in order to become part of a community
which brings other peoples stories to life. Through your experience here you will gain a sense of the power of
the ensemble. You will find you will be able to fuse your energy with a company without diminishing yourself.
While there are many possible ways to work, it is through agreement on basic principles, structures, and rules
that this sense of collaboration and community can flourish. In our experience, structure protects, nurtures,
and strengthens the artistic spirit. These standards will help to create an arena within which you are truly free
to explore. Artistically speaking, in a world where anything goes, nothing can happen.
Together and individually the handbook and its various sections articulate the working principles of the school.
You will find each section has its own tone, its own take, and its own emphasis. They are by turns technical,
philosophical, abstract, detailed, and like the theater itself, mostly down to earth practical and occasionally
spiritual. One way or another they are all talking about the same thing. And they all count. You will be asked to
read and sign these documents at the start of each year. In doing so, you enter into a contract with us to fulfill
their requirements and exhortations.
Michel Saint-Denis, actor, teacher, director was one of the great theater artists of the 20th century. Some of our
most important theaters and theater schools including the Royal Court, the National Theatre, the RSC, the
Young Vic, the National Theatre School of Canada owe part or all of their way of working to him. Michel Saint-
Denis and John Houseman together created the Drama Division and it is Saint-Denis principles of training that
form the great foundation of our school. The great English director Sir Peter Hall writes in his introduction to
Saint-Denis book Training for the Theatre:
Michel felt that all of us in the theater are responsible in our work not just for displaying our talents to
the best advantage, but also for being at our best as people. For him the two qualities were one,
indistinguishable. Talent did not excuse selfish behavior, talent was only diminished by it.
Community
These are challenging years aheada long journey sometimes joyous, sometimes hard, sometimes both. Know
going in these are intense yearsa kind of crucible of tremendous personal challenges that offer the
opportunity for great growth. There will be ups and downs, blocks and breakthroughs. Remember why you are
here, what you are trying to achieve, and the tradition to which you seek to belong. This will help you find faith
and endurance and fight through fatigue and despair or the temptation to find excuses and let yourself off the
hook.
Page 142 of 203

Use your time well. Its precious. Money and love come back (sometimes). Only time doesnt come back. Despite
the best efforts of the director, sometimes you will be called to rehearsal and have a long wait before you get to
work. Use the time to do class work or run lines in the hallways, dressing rooms, or another studio space. Let the
stage manager know where you are. If you remain in the rehearsal room give your attention to the work. Watch
and learn. Do not use your personal device, read books, magazines or newspapers, or converse. Respect the
process and your fellow actors.
Exercise courtesy, honesty, and civility with your fellow students and the faculty. This must extend to all with
whom you collaboratedirectors, designers, technicians, dressers, stage managers. This courtesy and respect
extends to the entire Juilliard communityall staff, security guards, and maintenance staff members. Failure to
live up to this standard will involve an immediate meeting and discussion of disciplinary sanctions with the
Director of the Drama Division.
Class Conduct
Arrive promptly and ready to work for all classes and rehearsals and be prepared for the work of the day. Dress
appropriately as outlined in the required clothing items list for all classes and rehearsals. Have with you any
books, scripts, research, props, etc. you may need. Be prompt for all calls and meeting. In the theater, being
prompt means early.
There is no eating in the class and rehearsal rooms or performance spaces.
Phones, tablets, laptops and the like can be useful tools. They also have a tendency to take over our lives and
distract us from the moment and the work at hand. In order to help you resist their tyranny their use for calls
and the checking and sending of messages is forbidden in the classroom, rehearsal room, and theater.
Their use is restricted to the locker rooms and hallways. This will help you use your breaks wisely and take a
moment to reflect, to think, and to absorb the work and be with your classmates in the here and now.
Other uses of electronic devices (note taking, the use of downloaded scripts) should be cleared with your
classroom teacher or director. Videotaping or photography with a phone or camera of classroom and rehearsal
work is not permitted. Faculty members reserve the right to assign an absence to a student who violates this
policy. Use your breaks wisely.
Most of your classroom time will be spent observing others work. You must develop focus, concentration,
curiosity, and generosity. You are responsible for the energy, attitude and body language you bring into a room.
Nothing is more disheartening than to be working and to look up and see someone drifting off, doodling, joking,
or just plain not interested. Its as if a trapeze artist were to fly out from the bar and find no one there to catch
him or her.
In our work onstage we are always striving for honesty, reaching for the truth of a moment, a scene, a
characters journey. Remember though, as you interact with each other in class or comment on each others
work, that truth spoken without generosity or civility can go astray from its intent and become hurtful and
destructive. Do as you would be done by. Address your mates in a way that would make it possible for you to
hear the comment or critiques as if they were directed at you.
The studios, the theater, the hallways, the bathrooms, and the locker rooms are all your shared space. Be
considerate of others. Clean up after yourself. Maintain personal hygiene appropriate to the work. Be a good
member of the community; help people set up and cleanup before and after classes and rehearsals and between
scenes. Move furniture and props.
Casting Guidelines
Over the course of your training, you will be cast in over a dozen plays. You will care about what roles you play,
as would any actors worth their salt. We care, too. We work very hard to cast you effectively and creatively with
the aim of furthering your training.
Page 143 of 203

Many factors play a part in casting; we take into account where you are in your journey of integrating the
training and releasing your talent as evidenced by your class work (see note on Liberal Arts on page 22) and
work in previous projects. We also look at how committed you are to the training as evidenced by your
attendance, promptness, and dedication to the community. Do not expect absolute equality. That is neither
possible nor is it even completely desirable.
In the first two years of training, we cast to serve your need to stretch and grow as an actor, as opposed to
serving the needs of a production. Sometimes, depending on the slot or the year of training, what the play
and/or playwright needs is given greater consideration. In the third and fourth years of training, we try to serve
both the play and the needs of the ensemble.
We keep a spreadsheet of all your roles so we can see the big arc of your casting. We urge you also to keep the
big picture in mind. We look to see how often, or if, youve been asked to heavily characterize, or if, on the other
hand, you seem to have played a series of old folks but never a young lover. And we try to make sure you've
played, at least once, a character with a considerable arc to their story.
You will be cast (probably more than once) in a role with not very much stage time (we say stage time advisedly,
as opposed to stage life). There is no role that doesnt require something of you as an artist, even if its just (and
its no small just) being in support of your fellow actors. How you work in those supporting roles matters to
us, and can affect your future casting.
Over your years here you will be cast in roles relatively close to home in terms of age, sensibility, personal
history, sexual orientation, gender, race, and culture. Every actor needs to start with and keep an open channel
to the sources of what make you who you are. Also, you will be cast in roles seemingly very far from you. You
will be asked, at some time in your training, even possibly in the 4th Year, to use yourself and to be personal
while inhabiting and revealing the life of someone from another culture, another time period, and perhaps even
another gender or race. This will take hard work, generosity, more hard work, and an ever-expanding sense of
self. The notion that an actor can transform and tell anyone's story has profound implications; it speaks to the
power of the imagination and the possibility of healing the rifts between peoples and individuals through that
power.
In the first two years, we always cast the plays as close as we possibly can to the rehearsal period. That way, we
can take into account emerging aspects of your work, or new insights into your process and person as we cast
the next play. In the third and fourth years of training, productions are announced and cast further in advance.
You will be able and we will expect you, therefore, to come to the first rehearsal thoroughly prepared, yet open
and curious; that is, you will have worked on your role but will not have worked it out.
All the plays in the first two years are cast primarily by your scene study teacher who works in conjunction with
the rest of the faculty. Richard Feldman oversees the process with a special eye to the big arc of your casting.
The first project of the 3rd Year is cast by Becky Guy and Richard Feldman with advice from the faculty.
Thereafter, all productions in the 3rd and 4th Year are cast by the Director of the Division, in consultation with
the faculty.
If you ever have a question, problem or complaint about your casting, please come to talk to us. If you ever find
youre writing a story in your head about what your casting means (in any particular play or over the course of
several plays), please share what youre thinking with usspeak with Richard Feldman to check out the reality
of that story. There may or may not be a particular learning experience we want you to have, over and above the
work every role calls for. In any case, communication can head off a great deal of unnecessary anxiety. Find out
what we have in mind. Dont guess.
During the course of your training, you should be developing a sense of what you need to do to expand and
deepen your work. Come to us with your ideas and hopes for the kind of roles you feel you need to grow. We
will not always be able to fulfill your needs (or even agree with your perceptions around casting) but the
Page 144 of 203

conversation itself can be valuable in clarifying your thinking and ours. Remember, you cast yourself in scene
study class all the time, and you can use classroom work and student-initiated projects to fill in what you
perceive as gaps in your experience.
Sometimes it seems there is no bigger drama in Drama School than casting, but we can minimize anxiety caused
by false expectations and misconceptions. Dont let casting define your time here. It neednt. It shouldnt. Try not
to look too much to the right or to the left at your classmates journey. Sometimes students get more caught up
in what theyre not playing than putting their energy into what they are playing. You can compare and despair,
or work on your role, on your instrument, and serve the play. Thats how you learn and grow, which is what its
all about.
Attendance Policy for Drama

It is Drama Division policy that you notify the Administrative Director, Kathy Hood by phone or e-mail
(212-799-5000, ext. 251, 917-331-4282, khood@juilliard.edu) if you are unable to attend a class or
other Drama Division activities.
Students are also required to contact their Production Stage Manager in the event they will be late for or
be absent from a rehearsal or costume fitting.
This policy aims to prepare you for the demands of the profession and reflects our belief that learning happens
with each other in the heat of experience of the class and rehearsal room. All classes and projects are directly
related and not optional. Regular and prompt attendance is necessary for achieving the goals of the training.
Absence from or lateness to classes and rehearsals is discourteous and disruptive.
Your attendance and punctuality for all classes and rehearsals will be closely monitored and will affect how the
faculty evaluates your work and your commitment to the program. Attendance is tracked for all activities of the
Drama Division and recorded daily in the Drama Division office; please come to the office if you have any
questions regarding your recorded absences or to get a printout of your current attendance status.
Violation of the attendance policy will lead to disciplinary probation. Each violation is dealt with on an
individual and confidential basis. Eventual sanctions may include a change in your casting in projects and
production, or dismissal from the program.
Attendance at showings, productions, labs, and community meetings is an essential part of the training. You will
be scheduled to attend a performance of each show; your attendance at that particular performance is a
requirement and must be treated as you would a scheduled class. We grow as a community as well as
individually. In the progression of the projects, you can see the arc of the training - where you're going and
where you've been - and find a greater understanding of your artistic journey and support and appreciate the
journey of your mates.
Please note: Specific vacation times will be designated by the Drama Division. You will be given this
information prior to each academic year as soon as possible so you can make your travel plans early. You are
not permitted to make an early departure for or late return from a vacation, break, or weekend which may
cause you to be late for or miss a class or rehearsal. If this occurs, you will be subject to disciplinary action.
Please make your reservations early to take advantage of reduced travel costs. Also, in the fourth year of
training, it may appear that there are periods of time off when you will not be in rehearsal. Do not assume that
you are free to be away from the school at this time. The designated vacation times are as scheduled and you
will be subject to the same disciplinary probation sanctions if the policy is violated. Please check with Kathy
Hood if you have any questions.
Please note the following:
1. Any lateness for class, rehearsal, or other Drama Division activity will be counted as 1/2 an absence.
Page 145 of 203

2. After two (2) absences in a class or if you have accumulated a total of four (4) lateness across classes and
rehearsals, you will be asked to come in for a conference with the Administrative Director and a decision
will be made to determine if you are placed on disciplinary probation.
3. If there is a violation of your disciplinary probation status, there are sanctions that will be initiated. Please
reference Disciplinary Sanctions.
4. There are no absences allowed for 3rd and 4th Year master and professional classes, individuals, community
meetings, showings, performances, and meetings.
5. If an absence, due to extraordinary circumstances including urgent medical appointments, prolonged severe
illness, or a major emergency requiring a students presence away from the school, occurs that takes you
beyond the two (2) absence per class limit, you must contact the Drama Divisions Administrative Director
to discuss the situation.
6. If the above stated absence is related to a serious medical issue, you must also contact the Health Services
office to make a same day medical appointment. Documentation from our Health Services office or another
medical professional for this visit is required. Please note: having a medical excuse does not exempt you
from the attendance policy. Each situation will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis by the director of the
Drama Division, administrative director, and faculty.
7. If you have an injury that prevents you from participating in class, it is expected that you will attend and
observe the work. You can benefit greatly from observing and your presence is essential and important to
other aspects of your development.
Additionally:
8. It is standard policy that classes are dismissed ten (10) minutes before the end of the scheduled hour (or
half-hour) to allow you to prepare for and get to your next class on time. You should feel free to point out to
your instructor or to report to the Drama Division office any lapse in adhering to that policy.
9. If an emergency arises that will cause you to be late for a rehearsal, please following this procedure:
2nd, 3rd, and 4th Year students must call their stage manager and the Drama Division office to report the
problem.
1st Year students must call their play director and the Drama Division office.
10. It is important to know that scholarships and other special prizes awarded by the Drama Division are
contingent on the evaluation of each student and their contribution to the program; their merit and
citizenship. Attendance and lateness are evaluated when these decisions are being made.
Auditions
During the academic year, including the Thanksgiving, winter, and spring breaks, you are not permitted to
audition for or accept any professional engagements. You have chosen to enter an intensive training program
which allows you the time and space to truly grow and explore and gather the skills and build the values that
will allow you to work for the next 50 years of your life. Honor that choice.
Exceptions have been made for actors to carry on work that they developed here at school in collaboration with
a Juilliard playwright.
Otherwise, we think outside work does not serve you, nor is your absence good for the growth and cohesion of
your class. We do encourage you to seek information about and take advantage of summer training and
performance opportunities.
In the fourth year of training please note:

You are permitted to begin auditioning for professional opportunities following the conclusion of the
New York Actor Presentation event. Please do keep in mind any conflicts that may impact the Los
Angeles Actor Presentation dates.
If you are approached at any time about an audition, you must see the Administrative Director to discuss.
Page 146 of 203

If you are approached by a casting director/agent/manager to audition for a project (prior to the NY
Actor Presentation event) that begins post Actor Presentations and/or Commencement, you must see the
Administrative Director to discuss.
Auditions for summer employment are often held at Juilliard. If you receive a callback for one of those
summer opportunities, you must clear the callback time with the Administrative Director to ensure that it
doesnt conflict with school activities.
If you are approached about participating in a reading or workshop for a current Juilliard playwright or
playwright alum, you must see the Administrative Director to discuss.
Industry members will be notified that we are not permitting our students to audition for outside projects
during the academic year.
Student Evaluation, Assessing Your Progress and Feedback

Your teachers will be forthright with you about your work. You will receive praise and encouragement,
correction and criticism. The feedback will come sometimes in front of your classmates. A big part of becoming
an actor is learning how to deal with both praise and criticism while you are learning how to work, fail, and
grow in front of others. Give yourself permission to fail. You learn through others struggles as well as your own.
Training in the Drama Division is rigorous and the standards for self-discipline and achievement are high. Each
students progress, achievement, and effort are discussed and evaluated periodically by the faculty shortly after
each rehearsal or performance project is completed. While the entire focus of training will be in stretching and
sharpening skills as an actor, continuing enrollment in the program is contingent not only on achievement, but
also on conscientious effort, including regular and prompt attendance at all scheduled classes rehearsals and
Drama Division activities.
Four times each academic year for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Year students, the entire faculty meet to discuss in depth
each students work and progress. Progress in rehearsal, performance work, and class work in all disciplines is
discussed, as are any attendance and other issues of concern. If unusual problems are identified, counseling
and/or remedial work may be recommended. Students are then kept informed of the facultys evaluation of
their progress through quarterly reviews and individual conferences and/or at the request of a student or
faculty member. Reviews and conferences are held after the completion of each rehearsal or performance
project. Students may request individual appointments to received feedback on a classroom and performance
work. While there is not a formal quarterly review process for 4th Year students, they may request individual
appointments to receive feedback on classroom and performance work.
During periods between meetings, if project directors and/or other faculty member observe any significant
changes, either positive or negative in a students work, they will bring it to the attention of the director of the
Drama Division, administrative director, or associate director of the Drama Division. When it seems advisable,
conferences with students are held.
Students are encouraged to feel that they are in a professional as well as an educational environment and that
the goal of their training is their growth as young artists and informed members of society. They are not mere
receivers of information but active participants in their training. They should have an appetite to hear even (and
arguably especially) the hard things.
At the end of each semester, you will have an opportunity to complete a teacher/class evaluation form. Write in
the spirit of open communication and professionalism. Your feedback allows us then to address concerns and
make changes in a constructive manner.
Continuing Enrollment
It is the facultys hope and expectation that every student admitted into the program is capable of benefiting from
and meeting the goals of the training in all of its aspects. If at any time, the facultys assessment of a students
progress or achievement indicates that there is a significant problem in meeting the Essential Elements of the
Curriculum, the Drama Technical Standards, the principles outlined in the Drama Divisions Our Way of Working
and the Juilliard Student Code of Conduct or in any area(s) of the work, that problem will be discussed with the
Page 147 of 203

student, the concerned faculty member(s), and the director of the Drama Division.
If these standards and expectations are not met, specific disciplinary sanctions and a probationary time period
for dealing with the problem(s) may be imposed on the student.
A student who has not met those conditions set forth for the probationary period may not be invited to continue
as a student in the Drama Division.
Student Divisional Status and Action

If a student fails to meet the standards and expectations set forth by the Drama Division, a divisional
probationary period will be imposed and the student will be subject to divisional action/sanctions.
Possible divisional sanctions include:

Ineligible to participate in student-initiated projects
Ineligible to receive free ticket offers
Ineligible to participate in Playwrights Labs
Required to perform community service
Ineligible to be considered for special prizes and scholarships
Recast within a project or removed from a project
Reduce the number of scenes in Actor Presentation event
Dismissal from program
These sanctions will be implemented at the discretion of the Director of the Drama Division and Administrative
Director.
Quantitative Evaluation
Maximum length of program: Normal residency in undergraduate and graduate degree programs is four years.
Drama students are expected to complete all work in a four-year time frame; a fifth full-time year is not
permitted.
Leave of Absence
A student in good standing may request a leave of absence of one full academic year to deal with a serious
problem. All leave of absence requests must be made in writing to the dean and provost and administrative
director. If granted, the student will be allowed to resume the training at the sole discretion of The Juilliard
School, the Drama Division's director and the faculty, and under conditions to be determined by them.
A withdrawal for more than one year for any reason will require a re-application and audition for re-admission.
Leave Request for Special Event

We are training you for a profession where other people count on you and your presence is always expected.
This is the life you have chosen. Therefore, there are no absences for special events such as weddings. Rare
exceptions to this rule are decided on a case-by-case basis depending in part on their impact on the group. It
goes without saying that tragic circumstances supersede this policy.
If a special event does present itself, you must see the Administrative Director to discuss the matter and to
complete a leave request form.
Liberal Arts/BFA Degree Students

The Liberal Arts class work is integral to your growth as an artist, therefore, you must meet all Liberal Arts
requirements and complete your work in a course by the date designated by the instructor. A student may only
receive a grade of incomplete with prior permission of the instructor. If you are granted an incomplete the
work must be completed no later than four weeks following the end of the semester for which the incomplete
was received, otherwise, the grade will be recorded as a failure. It is Drama Division policy that in the event a
student receives a grade of incomplete he/she will be removed from the next project or production and not
Page 148 of 203

reinstated until the work has been completed within the timeline stated above. If the student should fail to
complete the work, thus failing the course, the student will be removed from the next project or production. The
student will be required to make up the outstanding credits outside of Juilliard at an approved institution during
the summer break; such arrangements must be approved by both the Director of Interdivisional Liberal Arts
and the Registrar. Students will not be permitted to resume their training until the Liberal Arts coursework is
successfully completed and risk a dismissal from the program.
Technical Standards
The Technical Standards describe the necessary skills and abilities that you are expected to have learned on a
year-to-year basis in each discipline area. Significant failure to meet those standards will lead to a conference
with the student, the concerned faculty members and the director of the Drama Division. A probationary time
period for the student's dealing with the problem(s) may be imposed on the student. A student who has not met
those conditions set forth for the probationary period may not be invited to continue in the course. Technical
Standards for the Drama Division are available for students to read on the Juilliard Intranet
(http://campus.juilliard.edu/academicaffairs/). Your faculty members will cover these standards with you at
the beginning of each year to make sure you understand what is before you.

Cell Phones & Tablets

Phones, tablets, laptops and the like can be useful tools. They also have a tendency to take over our lives and
distract us from the moment and the work at hand. In order to help you resist their tyranny their use for calls
and the checking and sending of messages is forbidden in the classroom, rehearsal room, and theater.
Their use is restricted to the locker rooms and hallways. This will help you use your breaks wisely and take a
moment to reflect, to think, and to absorb the work and be with your classmates in the here and now. Other uses
of electronic devices (note taking, the use of downloaded scripts) should be cleared with your classroom teacher
or director.
Page 151 of 203

Class and Rehearsal Schedule
The weekly schedule of classes and rehearsals is emailed to you each week.
You must notify the office if for any reason you are unable to attend class or rehearsal. Any emergencies
should be reported as promptly as possible. Notifying the office does not excuse you from attending class. It is a
courtesy only.
It is your responsibility to check the schedule frequently for last-minute changes, personal messages, and other
important information. You are also expected to regularly check your e-mail and student mailbox on the second
floor for information and messages from other Juilliard administrative offices.
A comprehensive calendar listing performances, showings, and vacation dates will be disseminated to all
students in the fall.
Community Gatherings
The Drama Division comes together every Tuesday for a community meeting. Half of these sessions are
dedicated to Playwright Labs and the alternate times are devoted to a wide variety of guest speakers. These
gatherings provide an opportunity to give a context to our work and broaden our understanding of the world as
artists and citizens. They are an essential part of the training and prompt attendance is required. See attendance
policy.
Computing Facilities
There is a computer lab at Juilliard as well as several computers available for web access outside Room 304, in
the library, second, and fifth floors and wireless access throughout the building. Once you arrive, you will
receive your e-mail account through our Computer Lab. Please refer to the Juilliard Student Handbook for more
information. The computers in the Drama Division Office are off-limits to all students.
Faculty Advisors
There are usually two faculty members assigned to each group as Faculty Advisors. Please reach out to them
regarding any personal or group matters of concern. They are an important resource. If you are having difficulty
in a particular discipline, go first to your teacher directly. Then if you still need help, turn to your class Faculty
Advisor or Richard Feldman. In addition to Richard Feldmans teaching and directing responsibilities, he is also
available on an ongoing basis to discuss with you any issues, questions, and shifts you may be observing in
relation to your work and progress.
If you need help of any kindwhether its directly related to the training or notask for it. We are all here to
help you with anything in the way of your work. We are on your side. We want you to succeed, to flourish as a

and for other divisions or departments at Juilliard. For the Drama Division jobs, inquire in the office and watch
for notices on the bulletin board marked work-study. For jobs in other areas, contact the Financial Aid office.
Your heavy schedule will make taking an outside job difficult. During the 1st and 2nd Year, it will usually be
possible for you to work Saturday evenings and Sunday only. In the 3rd and 4th Years there are likely to be
Page 152 of 203

scheduled weekend rehearsals and performances. Please note that you may not miss a class, rehearsal, or
performance for an outside job. If you encounter financial difficulty, please speak with Kathy Hood.
Lila Acheson Wallace American Playwrights Program Labs

Juilliard alumni. Playwrights Labs provide you an opportunity to observe and participate in the creation of new
plays by Juilliard writers. Everyone is required to attend these Tuesday Labs throughout the year.
Lockers for Drama Students

Juilliard holds many events open to the public, making it difficult to control who is in the building. Please keep
all of your personal belongings and any Juilliard property for which you are responsible locked up at all times
when not in use. You have been assigned a locker for your use and protection. Keep it locked and NEVER leave
anything of value unattended in classrooms, dressing rooms, or in the theater.
The school will not reimburse you for any stolen money or items that were left unattended. If you need to bring
a large sum of cash or a valuable item (camera, musical instrument, laptop computer) into the building on a
short-term basis, we will lock it up for you in the office at your request. You may inquire about lost property,
and should turn in found property, at the Building Managers Office on the 2nd floor, room 232. You should also
file an Incident Report immediately following any incident of loss or theft.
Personal Health
You will need to maintain a healthy body and spirit in order to benefit fully from all aspects of the training. Many
students over the years have struggled or are currently struggling with smoking, alcohol and/or drug addiction,
and eating disorders. It is a courageous act to reach out for assistance, and we will do everything possible to
help any student who reaches out for support and guidance. Treatment and support can be obtained
confidentially through our wonderful Health Services Office. During the course of your training, you may also
find it helpful to speak to somebody outside of the division to discuss any personal difficulties or just plain
changes that you might be going through as part of your experience at the school. Counseling Services offers
free and confidential counseling to all Juilliard students.
Photocopying
Students should plan to use the photocopier in the library or in the second floor copy room for any items that
are the students responsibility to bring to class (library: fifteen cents per page; copy center: ten cents per
page). If you are in class and a faculty member is requesting a copy of an item, please see one of the staff
members for assistance. The Drama Division copier is for faculty and staff use only.

noncommercial promotional purposes. There are some limitations that you should be aware of:

o Always hang up costumes after you are finished wearing them.
o Do not wear or take any costume items out of the Juilliard building.

your costumes for your next performance.
Finally:
Disparaging the costume that has been built for you, and which you have been asked to wear, in the
presence of a Costume Shop wardrobe crew member or Costume Designer is unacceptable. Be courteous at
all times.

Special Prizes and Awards

Juilliard's Financial Aid Committee awards a large number of scholarships that bear the name of a donor whose
generosity to Juilliard makes the award possible and whose purpose is to help offset the unmet financial need of
qualified students at the school.

Program who have distinguished themselves in particular ways. The following is a list of Drama Division prizes
and the criteria for receiving them:

$10,000 scholarship award to a deserving student who is a member of an ethnic minority. Funded anonymously
in memory of the distinguished stage and film actor who died in October 1994 from complications from a
stroke. The recipient is selected by the Drama Division faculty.
John M. Stix Scholarship

This $2,500 (approximately) scholarship was established by and named in memory of beloved Drama Division
acting teacher, director and mentor, John Stix. This award is given to a student with substantial financial need
completing the first year of training, who demonstrates significant growth in developing a sense of process and
brings a spirit of curiosity and investigation to the work. John Stix was a faculty member of the Drama Division
from 1974 until his passing in 2004. The recipient is selected by the director of the Drama Division and 1st Year
faculty members.
Student-Initiated Work
As part of your ongoing artistic growth, we encourage you to explore self-initiated work. We require that all
individuals interested in pursuing self-initiated work come to the Drama Division to complete a Project Intent
form. Before you can be cleared to work on a project this form must be reviewed by James Gregg and Richard
Feldman as a first step towards approval. Due to limitations of rehearsal space and time, and to ensure the
productive functioning of the Drama Division as a whole, you must be in good standing to participate in a
student-initiated project. Your first responsibility is always to your regular class work and project work.
Student Representation
Each year, each group chooses two representatives to bring your suggestions, questions, and/or problems to the
Director of the Drama Division, Administrative Director, Associate Director, and the faculty.
The eight representatives act as a continuing channel of communication between the administration and the
student body. The student representatives meet with their classes and faculty advisors in order to find out what
issues need discussion and attention, and to pass on information from the administration.
If you are having a problem of any kind with a fellow student or teacher that you have not been able to resolve
to your satisfaction by speaking to them directly, you can request help from Kathy Hood, Administrative
Director, in the form of a mediated conversation. These meetings are not punitive in nature. They are meant to
facilitate communication between the two parties so that the work can go forward in the best possible way. Do
not let things fester. We expect you to be forthcoming. After all, we are all in the communication business.
Studio Space and Equipment

When not in use for scheduled classes and rehearsals, Drama Division studios may be reserved for your
Page 156 of 203

personal use in preparing scenes, etc. Sign up in the office to reserve space using the weekly room charts. There
is a two hour limit on any single room sign out. When you have finished using a studio, please take the time
to put all your trash into proper receptacles and leave the space cleared of any furniture and props you used.
Food may not be brought into the classrooms, rehearsal studios, or theater spaces. Beverages are permitted as
long as they are in a spill proof lidded container. All studios and halls are equipped with trash baskets. Please
take the time to put all your trash into proper receptacles. Most drama studios are stocked with rehearsal
furniture for class and rehearsal use. Please use these items with care and do not remove them from the room
without the permission of the Drama Division office. Many studios are also equipped with pianos. Feel free to
use them, but remember they are expensive and delicate instruments. Treat them with care and NEVER use
them as repositories for coffee cups, soda cans, etc.
Theater Tickets
There is a great deal of theatrical activity in New York. Through contacts developed by the Drama Division we
are able from time to time to get complimentary or deeply discounted tickets or invitations to run-thrus of plays
on Broadway and Off-Broadway. We believe it is valuable for you to see professional work and for particularly
interesting plays we may cancel classes or rehearsals to allow as many of you as possible to attend a
performance. Benefactors may give us tickets for a variety of reasons, but it is always with the expectation that
the tickets will be used. If you accept a complementary or discounted ticket and your seat is empty, Juilliard
loses the good will of the benefactor and you jeopardize our ability to offer you productions in the future.
If there is an inkling of a thought that you may not be available for the show, please do not sign up for tickets.
Unused tickets not only take the opportunity away from someone else who would have been able to go, but also
severely jeopardizes the possibility of getting future tickets. You are also making a commitment to see the entire
show - it is unacceptable to leave at intermission.
Of course, sickness and emergencies happen. If you are not able to use requested tickets, contact a classmate or
friend to go in your place. If you are unable to find a replacement, it is an individuals responsibility to contact
the Drama Division office (212.799.5000 x 251) the morning of a show if you are unable to use any tickets.
Any individual who does not utilize requested tickets, will lose the privilege of ticket offers for the
remainder of the semester.
Ticket Request Policy

At the beginning of each year, you will receive details on the ticket request policy that pertains to your specific
year of training. In general, 1st Year showings are only open to the Drama Division community. 2nd Year
showings are open to a limited audience, including Drama Division community, family, and friends. 3rd Year
performances are open to a limited public audience. 4th Year performances are open to the general public and
members of the industry. There is limited seating to all Drama Division showings, performances, and events and
your strict adherence to the ticket policy is most appreciated.
In Closing
We all seek in our work the moments of creative freedom when we feel no contradiction between the demands
of form and the communication of a personal truth. How and when does this freedom come into being and
thrive? For Michel Saint-Denis this freedom comes from a way of working which leads to:
the development, at the very heart of the school and of the company, of a human and artistic milieu, which,
because of its invisible pull on everyone, quite naturally breeds a climate where the quality of the professional
training, the adherence to the guiding principles, the multiplicity of critical and theoretical exchanges, will
spread a sense of individual responsibility, which will ultimately merge with the schools sense of ensemble. I
believe that this milieu, this climate, if it is authentic and generous, could impress students and actors more
profoundly than the study of even the most advanced techniques.
We wish you the best for a fantastic year!

Change of Major Teacher

Permission to change teachers is granted by the provost and deans office. To discuss a potential teacher
change, please make an appointment in the provost and deans office.
Double Major
Music students who wish to major in two different fields of study must audition and be admitted by each
department, and be granted permission to pursue dual majors by the dean and by each of the departments
involved. Since the curricular requirements for both degrees must be followed, students need to consult their
academic advisors to determine whether the double major is possible and how much time their completion
will require (typically, an additional year of study.) Students in a double major are assessed an additional
tuition charge since they receive 15 hours of private instruction in each of their majors per semester.
Change of Major
Music students who wish to change their major field must audition for that purpose and will be subject to
the application dates and fees specified in the catalog.
Page 159 of 203

Application to Graduate Programs
Music students wishing to enter graduate programs, specifically, the Master of Music, Graduate Diploma,
Doctor of Musical Arts, or Artist Diploma, must submit a complete application to the Office of Admissions by
the appropriate application deadline and audition during the March entrance audition period. The March
audition for undergraduate students applying to the Master of Music degree or Graduate Diploma program
will serve as the graduation jury for all majors except in Voice, Woodwinds, and Jazz Studies. Auditions for
the Artist Diploma and/or Doctor of Musical Arts programs cannot serve as jury examinations.
Qualitative Evaluation
In performance-based requirements, all students receive intensive and continuous evaluation on a daily
basis. Music students are expected to maintain a grade of at least B in the major subject and all performance
classes, including jury examinations. At the undergraduate level, in subjects other than those mentioned
above, students are expected to earn overall grades of C or better. Grades below B- in the major and
performance subjects and C- in other subjects will prompt disciplinary action by the Scholastic Standing
Committee. Note regarding classroom courses: at the masters level, grades lower than C do not carry credit;
at the doctoral level, grades lower than B- do not carry credit. Failure to maintain these minimum standards
will prompt disciplinary action.
Quantitative Evaluation
Maximum length of program: Normal residency in undergraduate degree programs is four years. In Music, an
undergraduate student might be approved to register for a fifth full-time year if significant remedial work is
needed, or if the student is a double major. Graduate students in the masters program are normally
registered for a two-year residency; in rare cases, depending upon placement results, proficiency in the major
area, or other compelling reasons, residency might be legitimately extended to a third year.
Music Division Jury Examinations

Performance examinations are required in the spring semester of each academic year for all Music Division
students, except those enrolled in the Artist Diploma or Doctor of Musical Arts program. Juries serve as an
opportunity for the studio department 1) to evaluate a student's progress according to published
departmental technical standards and jury requirements, 2) to ratify that year's credit earned in the major
field, and 3) to offer the student a regular focused hearing similar in format to that of an audition - a staple of
a professional career in the performing arts. Juries are scheduled by the registrar. Students are expected to
perform at the scheduled time, normally during Jury Week in May. (Students applying for the M.M. degree or
Graduate Diploma may use the March entrance audition for the required jury examination, except for majors
in Voice, Woodwinds, and Jazz Studies. Auditions for the Artist Diploma and/or Doctor of Musical Arts
programs cannot serve as jury examinations.)
Jury exams for bass trombone, bassoon, cello, clarinet, collaborative piano, double bass, flute, French horn
(horn), guitar, harp, oboe, organ, percussion, piano, tenor trombone, trumpet, tuba, viola, and violin present
the faculty with an annual opportunity to assess students progress in the areas listed below and to validate
the credits earned in major study during the academic year. Technical Standards are evaluated according to
the students level of study. For undergraduate students, particular attention is given to their progress at the
close of the second year, in order to determine whether they may continue in the program, and whether they
are on track to complete the program in the remaining two years.
Annual and Graduation Juries

The final jury in a student's official program of study is the Graduation Jury. All previous juries in that
program are recorded as Annual Juries. Specific requirements for Annual and Graduation Juries are described
by department, and are available to faculty and students online. Studio departments are asked to review and
update these requirements annually. Students are expected to comply with these published requirements.
Students must be registered for major lessons during the semester of a graduation jury and/or recital.
Page 160 of 203

Second-year Jury
The annual jury for second-year undergraduate students establishes that a student's progress has been
sufficient to reasonably ensure completion of the program of study. This evaluation will determine whether
or not the student may continue in that program. Students are advised to verify departmental jury
requirements as noted above.
Jury Comments
Upon request, students receive copies of the faculty jury comments from the Registrar within a week
following the jury examination. Studio teachers are encouraged to review these comments with their
students in the final lesson of the semester.
Grading
All jury examinations are graded. Most departments utilize a qualitative grade (i.e., A, B, etc...); several
departments utilize a Pass/Unsatisfactory/Fail system.
Undergraduates- For students in the B.M. degree or Diploma, annual jury grades below B- are considered
unsatisfactory and will automatically place the student on Probation for the subsequent semester. See Re-
exams.
Graduates- For students in the MM degree or Graduate Diploma, annual jury grades below B are
considered unsatisfactory and will automatically place the student on Probation. See Re-exams.
All Students - Failure of a jury examination is a dismissible academic offense. Students who receive a
failing grade may, with the support of the studio teacher, petition the dean for the privilege of a re-exam.
Postponement of a Jury
Permission to postpone a jury examination must be approved in writing by the major teacher and submitted
to the dean for final approval. Make-up juries are required to be performed before the end of the Add/Drop
period in September. Postponement requests for medical reasons must be accompanied by a medical doctor's
letter certifying an acute condition. Failure to perform at the scheduled time without verification or
permission may result in dismissal.
Re-exams
Students are evaluated for re-exams on a case-by-case basis.
Undergraduates - Students who receive annual jury grades of Unsatisfactory or lower than B- will be
scheduled for re-exams, either in September, or at the end of the fall semester, depending upon the
department's specifications.
Graduates - Students who receive annual jury grades of Unsatisfactory or lower than B, will be scheduled
for re-exams in September in order to determine the student's eligibility to continue in the program.
All Students - Students who receive a failing grade in a graduation jury may, with the support of the
studio teacher, petition the dean for the privilege of a re-exam. The expected date of program
completion may be changed accordingly. A maximum of one re-exam may be requested.
General Chamber Music

A majority of the approximately 100 chamber music ensembles at Juilliard are put together by
the students themselves. Once a group is fully formed, students may audition for or contact a coach with
whom they wish to work, and with the coachs agreement, register the group in the Chamber Music Office
(Room 249) during each semesters Chamber Music registration period. In order to receive credit, ensembles
are expected to rehearse regularly between coachings, receive eight hours of coaching, and give a public
performance of a complete work at least once during the semester. Successful participation requires
initiative, responsibility, and clear communication with coaches, colleagues, and the Chamber Music Office.
Chamber Music Policy

Juilliard considers participation in chamber music activities to be an essential element of a
musicians education.
Ensembles registered in September are expected to continue together throughout the entire school
year. Spring registration group withdrawals and personnel changes between semesters must be
Page 161 of 203

submitted in early December. New group registration for the spring is subject to approval by the Dean.
Students are encouraged to take full advantage of the chamber music time slot, Tuesdays and Fridays,
4:30- 6:30 p.m. There are generally no classes or orchestra rehearsals at this time, which allows groups to
rehearse and have coachings consistently each week. Fifth-floor studios and other rehearsal spaces may
be reserved for these times through the Registrars Office.
Collaborative Piano majors wishing to take a chamber music elective must register in a group of three
or more players.
Detailed policies and specific requirements for every major are outlined in the Chamber Music handbook.
Read it carefully for additional information about the Chamber Music program.
Chamber Music Seminars

Participants in the American Brass Quintet Seminar and the Harp, Guitar, and Winds Seminar will
follow procedures and meet expectations specified by the faculty coaches.
Attendance Policy for Chamber Music

You are expected to attend all classes, lessons, and required rehearsals and performances. Promptness
is required. Unexplained absences or repeated lateness may result in a failing grade or, in extreme
cases, dismissal from the School.
Early departures for or late returns from vacations, whether for reasons of reduced travel cost or for another
reason, are not considered valid excuses for missing class or rehearsal work. Students should plan to make
reservations for travel well in advance in order to take advantage of any reduced fares that may be available.
Since Juilliard vacations coincide with those of many other institutions, it is often necessary to do this several
months before your trip.
Major Lessons
If you are unable to attend major lessons or coaching for music ensembles, notify the faculty secretary at ext.
352.
Juilliard Orchestra
Orchestral participation is required for all students of orchestral instruments in each semester of residency
(except those enrolled in the doctoral or Artist Diploma programs). The Juilliard Orchestra also includes the
Juilliard Chamber Orchestra (JCO) and Wind Orchestra, as well as the voluntary ensembles AXIOM, New
Juilliard Ensemble and Lab Orchestra.
Orchestra placement auditions are a curricular requirement of the Juilliard Orchestra. Their purpose is to
evaluate student preparation, provide orchestra audition experience, and are a factor in determining concert
and part assignments. Unsatisfactory auditions may require a re-audition. If you are not able to attend a
scheduled audition, you must notify the Orchestra Administration as early as possible to request a make-up
audition.
Concert assignments and seating will be posted for each semester as far in advance as possible, and usually
no later than three weeks prior to the first rehearsal of a concert cycle. Determining factors include seating
audition results, faculty feedback, and other considerations. Students are expected to prepare their parts prior
to the first rehearsal, attend all rehearsals and performances for the cycle to which they are assigned, exhibit
proper behavior and etiquette, and perform to the best of their ability. For specific information for each of
these areas, including detailed attendance and grading policies, please consult the Juilliard Orchestra
Syllabus.
Short-Term Professional Leave

Before you commit yourself to a professional activity that will cause you to miss six (6) consecutive class days
or more, you must request permission to be absent from the Deans Office at least six (6) weeks prior to
departure. A form requiring your teachers signature as well as signatures from all classroom faculty must be
filled out, with documentation from the presenting organization and your own statement of the professional
Page 162 of 203

significance of the event. You must be in good standing in all classes in order to qualify for such leaves. Short-
term leaves of absence must be approved by a faculty and administrative panel before they become official.
Once the leave is granted, you are responsible for all class work missed. Any leave not approved by the panel
may result in lowering of grades if you are absent.
For proposed leaves of five (5) consecutive days or fewer, you should consult with each class teacher two
weeks before the intended absence to discuss the content of missed classes and the grading consequences of
the absence. Orchestral students should also secure written permission for an absence from the director of
orchestral activities before you have been assigned to an orchestral service. Once you have been assigned,
any conflict with rehearsals or performances subjects you to the possibility of a grade reduction as per the
Orchestra Departments grading policies. Voice students should also secure permission for an absence from
the administrative director of the Vocal Arts Department. Doctoral students may not request short-term
professional leaves in their first semester of residence. Thereafter, any leave request must be submitted to
the Doctoral Governance Committee for consideration.
Doctoral students are expected to attend all required classes during the two-year residency period. Although
a candidate may request permission for leaves of absence related to competitions or other professional
engagements, extended absences that warrant missing more than two (2) classes during a semester are
usually not permitted.

Collaborative Piano
Page 164 of 203

Music: Collaborative Piano

Room: 546 (Jonathan Feldman), 544 (Margo Garrett)
Email: ddover@juilliard.edu (Dimitri Dover, Department Coordinator)
The Juilliard School offers a program in Collaborative Piano Performance on the graduate level only. Both the
Master of Music (MM) and Graduate Diploma (GD) degrees are two-year programs. A third year will be
considered if the student makes a request early in the third semester. The Faculty and Administration will
determine acceptance. The Artist Diploma (AD) is a two-year course of study while the Doctor of Musical Arts
(DMA) is a full four-to-five year program.
Registration and Academic Advisement

New students will register August 31 - September 2 after taking Placement Exams August 29 31. Returning
students who did not register in the last spring semester or need to make registration changes will complete
their registration September 6. The department faculty ask that all students give their applied teacher, after
each semesters registration, a hard copy of their schedule. After determining how many courses you are
required to take as a result of your placement tests, you and your applied teacher will make a determination
as to how many credits you can safely carry.
IMPORTANT FOR NEW STUDENTS: Study the Juilliard online catalog carefully and confer with your assigned
teacher before going to your registration appointment. You may also seek the opinions and counsel of 2nd and
3rd year students in our department who know the ropes. Do not hesitate to call them. They expect to hear
from you, just as you will expect to hear from new students next fall.
First year applied students of Mr. Feldman should register for Sonatas I with Ms. Garrett and those of Ms.
Garrett or Dr. Zeger should register for Sonatas I with Mr. Feldman.
If students are registered for Sonatas with Ms. Garrett, they should register for Songs with J. J. Penna
(general repertoire), Cameron Stowe (general repertoire), Gina Levinson (Russian song or opera), or
Diane Richardson (opera).
NOTE: Students are not required to take Applied Lessons, Sonatas AND SONGS in their first semester, but
they may do so with their applied teachers approval. This is to be discussed and determined in
consultation with your applied teacher before going to your registration appointment.
Lyric Diction and Vocal Literature Classes

Lyric diction and vocal literature classes are the areas in which you have your only real elective choices. If
you do not have any knowledge of a particular language and DO have knowledge of others, please plan, if the
schedule will allow, to take the Lyric Diction and Vocal Literature of the language you know least in your first
year.
If you have knowledge of Italian, French and German, but two languages are much less strong than another,
choose from one of those two weaker ones for your first study. At some point, you will need to double up and
take two languages in the same year. In such a case, it would be helpful if you have some prior knowledge of
both those languages, so following this guide will allow you the best combinations of languages/repertoire for
doubling up. Again, your teacher will help you with this.
Please note that the Russian Vocal Literature you see on your Semester Advisement Sheet includes also lyric
diction for that language within the literature class.
Ms. Levinson uses a different format from all other lyric diction and vocal literature combinations. Russian is
offered only every other year. Ms. Caporello requests Lyric Diction in Italian before taking Vocal Literature,
but will make exceptions sometimes, especially if she needs registered pianists in any class. Please seek your
teachers aid in requesting any special dispensation from any vocal repertoire or diction teacher if direct
contact with the repertoire or diction teacher itself does not result in success. If you are serious about
Page 165 of 203

attempting to study Lyric Diction and Vocal Literature in ALL languages offered by The Juilliard School, and
assuming a two-year total course of study, you MUST take two of these classes in EACH semester.
Applied Lessons
All students should ask each teacher with whom they have regular lessons what is expected protocol for
his/her studio. Each teacher has a different set of expectations. It should be assumed that collaborative
students will ALWAYS bring copies of scores for any teachers use and use in all lessons. If the library does not
have what you need, email the teacher giving the lesson ahead of time.
NOTE: Ms. Garrett travels from St. Paul, MN late each Tuesday. You must contact her for any weeks needed
scores by 10 pm on Monday of that week.
Required Services and Performances

Monitoring of Required and Paid Accompanying Services
Faculty Assistant Molly Skardon manages your accompanying hours, including the required 60 hours as well
as all paid work in any school division except the Evening Division. Dr. Dover manages any work done in the
Evening Division. Ms. Skardon schedules appointments early in each fall for all students in our department as
well as all certified pianists who work within the school. At that meeting, she will give you all needed
information as well as all protocol and forms for the correct monitoring of your work. To inappropriately
charge the school for any work not, in fact, supposed to be paid for by The Juilliard School is a serious offense,
even if such was a true mistake. Lack of knowledge is not an excuse. WITHOUT FAIL, go to Molly Skardons
initial appointment. She will contact you herself as to time and place. Stay in touch with Molly always and be
sure you follow correct protocols as stated in this handbook and any other written materials presented to you.
If you have any questions about the actual services or payment, please see Ms. Skardon.
Sixty Required Hours of Studio or other related Service

All students must begin, as soon as school starts, to secure the equivalent of 2 weekly hours of studio or class
accompanying. Sixty hours are required per school year and no student will graduate without having
completed these hours.
No student may carry over more than one semesters Incomplete in the performance of these hours
without explanation to the faculty.
The faculty will make every attempt to help new students find hours, but it is the student who is
ultimately responsible.
Credit is given for work done in the teaching studios, master classes and other venues of the Upper
Division, the Preparatory Division and the Evening Division, but work in the Upper Division is certainly
encouraged most of all, for this is where you will meet colleagues who can offer YOU the best chances for
immediate career development.
Work in the Evening Division, advised by Dr. Dover rather than Ms. Skardon, will be permitted only if the
student does not have needed studio hours elsewhere and can corroborate the importance of the
proposed work, showing Dr. Dover a contract from the Evening Division.
Good methods by which to secure required hours are:

ask friends to have you accompany their lessons where you impress the involved teacher by playing well,
being well-prepared, enthusiastic, prompt and professional;
keep up with the needs of studios through Molly Skardon, our Faculty Assistant who manages the
accompanying services along with Dr. Dover;
ask to play for Vocal Arts coachings (you must be recommended by the faculty in order to do this. Let Dr.
Dover know if you are interested and have the requisite repertoire and sight-reading skills to be
successful in any particular potential assignment);
request, as soon as you know your schedule, studio hours of faculty who know you already;
recruit new contacts from your class colleagues; and
seek work in Pre-College studios.
Page 166 of 203

IMPORTANT: you may never be paid for work in a class in which you are registered, nor for any performance
required in that class. Classes do use the services of our department and it may happen that one of you is
registered in a class which also uses the services of a paid departmental colleague. Just remember: if you are
registered, you may not be paid. REMEMBER: credit OR payment, except in the case of the REQUIRED 60
hours, which ARE paid.
If you do not tell someone you would like to work with them, you may have no possibility of doing so. Speak
up about your needs and desires. Your applied teacher will be your advisor in this effort and should always be
immediately made aware if you are having trouble accumulating these hours. Do not wait until the end of any
semester to ask for help. It will be much too late for anyone to help you.
Your goal should be to become known and to be found worthy by the faculty and students. Do not attempt to
enter/work in a teachers studio if you do not have experience in the standard repertoire of that studio unless
you are going to play for one student only, whose specific repertoire you will prepare in advance, or unless the
teacher wants you, despite any admitted shortcomings you have. Always be prepared for the experience you
are seeking. If you have a particular skill score reading, transposing, improvising or other, please let it be
known. Tell the faculty and Dr. Dover, and tell Molly Skardon.
The only limitation for playing in the studios is that you must fulfill no less than 60 hours each year; however,
you can play more. You may choose to do so and will be paid for the work, provided that it is Juilliard-related.
Under no circumstances may any student abuse the right to work for pay. Each students standing in his/her
required applied and academic work must always represent his/her best and never be compromised by too
many hours spent playing for pay. The faculty reserves the right to limit or curtail any students paid work,
should the students applied performance or academic standard be affected negatively by such
Instrumental and Vocal Partners

Like Collaborative students, instrumental and voice students are paid for their accompanying services to
you in your lessons, department seminars, master classes, juries, recitals, and preparation in our teaching
studios for Lieder- and Sonatenabende. Partners are recruited by TAs, the department coordinator, or faculty
for Instrumental Accompanying classes, but partners with whom you work in your lessons and in your own
recitals are most often chosen by you as you connect with them in the course of the school year and make
your own arrangements. The faculty will help first year students make these contacts also.
Lieder- und Sonatenabende Wednesday Nights at 6 pm in Paul Hall

All students are required to play in our departmental Liederabend and Sonatenabend public concert series.
These are usually on Wednesday nights at 6 pm in Paul Hall. Changes in time, date, or place are noted in bold
print on the schedule below. These series attract rather large public audiences. Please be sure of any Abend
assignment, as they are non-negotiable, once made. Liederabend assignments (dates, partners, and
repertoire) will be made at the beginning of each school year by the Collaborative Piano and Vocal Arts
administrations. Sonatenabend assignments will be made by Mr. Feldman and Ms. Garrett well in advance of
each concert. Students are expected to accept responsibility in planning for Sonatenabende and offer ready
repertoire to the faculty well in advance of each concert. This year each Masters/Graduate Diploma student
will play in two vocal and two instrumental Abende over the course of the year. The faculty has final
determination as to assignments. All concerts will be recorded. You will have access to your performance
recordings for study use.
No payment is made to any Collaborative Piano major for participation in these concerts, although the
instrumental partners who join Collaborative students in Sonatenabende are paid. Vocal Arts considers these
concerts a part of their curriculum and permits NO payment for the actual performance to any singer who
participates in our Liederabende.
See to it that you comply 100% with the Vocal Arts administrations weekly deadline for submitting to
them your coming weeks schedule. Even if you are not currently involved with Vocal Arts, you should
provide them your schedule if you hope to be assigned coachings or to enjoy other VA participation, such as
Page 167 of 203

playing for coachings. Sometimes such assignments are planned well in advance, but can also happen at the
last moment. Doctoral students should not have any expectation of appearing on Abend performances, but are
required to perform on these concerts if requested, in emergency, by the faculty.
Dress rehearsals for this seasons Wednesday Liederabende will be always held in Paul Hall the Monday prior
to the concert from 12:15 to 2 pm (This does not apply to Cameron Stowes Liederabend that dress
rehearsal is still TBD). Vocal Arts will post a sign-up sheet for these rehearsals outside its office on the 4th
floor, by the Friday preceding the dress rehearsal. Normally each duos rehearsal time lasts about 18 minutes
and the sign-up is accomplished by each duo itself. Chosen times are dependent upon availability and class
schedules. Vocal Arts should be contacted if no available time is left on a sign-up. They will find a solution.
Your assigned coach will attend this dress rehearsal.
Dress rehearsals, also in Paul Hall for all Sonatenabende starting at 6 pm this year, are on the day of the
performance from 3:30 to 5:30. There is an 8 pm concert this year and the rehearsal for that will be
determined. Mr. Feldman will notify you not only of the rehearsal schedule but also of your exact time within
the entire rehearsal. Cynthia Baker, Director of Concerts (ext. 511) should be contacted by YOU, not your
partner, if the hall is not open nor made available to you exactly at rehearsal time. Any complaints about
problems with the pianos should be emailed to your assigned coach for the particular Abend. Do not go
directly yourselves to the Piano Maintenance Department or Ms. Baker about problems with the pianos. The
faculty are the only ones who should handle this.
There are two pianos in Paul Hall. One is a New York Steinway: the other, a Hamburg Steinway. It is up to the
personnel of each Abend to determine JOINTLY, and in advance of the dress rehearsal, which piano will be
played on any particular concert. One piano per concert, however, may be used. A majority rules the decision.
One pianist should be chosen to notify Ms. Baker, at least a day prior to your dress rehearsal, of your choice.

ATTENDANCE IS REQUIRED OF ALL MM and GD STUDENTS AT ALL ABENDE. A written request must be
emailed to both Mr. Feldman and Ms. Garrett AT LEAST ONE WEEK before any requested absence. No
student may assume that notice equals permission. The faculty reserve the right to grant or not grant
each request. Students will receive answers to their requests via return email from Mr. Feldman or
Ms. Garrett. Please do not ask orally.
There has recently been far too casual an attitude on the parts of many students towards this policy.
Consider this paragraph fair warning that attendance will be taken at each concert, perhaps more
than once, and that grades will suffer if the policy is not upheld. Doctoral students are not required to
attend all Abende, but their attendances, as involved and supportive members of the department,
should be frequent.
Page 168 of 203

Please remember, when you are making arrangements to play in the studio classes of other Juilliard
faculty that you DO NOT have to right to give your Wednesday evening from 6pm to 8 pm to a WEEKLY
endeavor, or even an ALMOST WEEKLY endeavor.
Seminars Wednesday Nights

Perhaps you are realizing, as you read this, that you cannot make plans for Wednesday nights. Indeed, the
department has plans for ALL your Wednesday nights. When there is no recital in Paul Hall, there will be a 6
pm class in Mr. Feldmans studio or, in the case of some guests master classes, in another announced school
location. Normally the classes will end by 7:30, but in the case of a guest, you are REQUIRED to remain until 8
pm if the guest continues until then. A schedule of Seminars follows for the 2015-2016 school year.
SEMINAR ATTENDANCE IS REQUIRED OF ALL MM AND GD STUDENTS. WHEN A GUEST IS LEADING THE
CLASS, ALL STUDENTS (DMA additionally) ARE REQUIRED TO ATTEND. A WRITTEN request must be
emailed to Dr. Dover AT LEAST ONE WEEK before any requested absence. No student may assume that
sending an email equals permission. Students will receive answers to their requests via Dr. Dovers

Graduation Recital Requirements

Often graduation recitals at Juilliard are scheduled during the last semester of study in the degree program.
As collaborative majors, however, we ask that you try to plan your required recitals as early as possible. You
may find that during your last semester of study you have many desirable colleagues requests for your
services partnering their own graduation recitals or other performances. In fact, expect your services to be
increasingly desired in each semester of study. Such should be the case and is a marker of your success and
growth. So plan to do your own required recital early even if you choose to give another non-required recital
at a later date. This will allow a bit of time left in your schedule for the unexpected but exciting surprise that
may come along (See recital requirements.)
All recitals are scheduled by the Concert Operations office and Cynthia Baker. Her email and phone are listed
in School and Department Information earlier in this handbook. Required recitals may be scheduled at the
beginning of the semester in which the concert is to take place. Concert venues fill up rapidly at Juilliard. All
students must plan far ahead and book a recital date/hall as soon as is possible, making sure partners are also
free at that time. Paul Hall and Morse Hall are the two student recital venues at Juilliard. Non-degree/non-
required recitals are discussed on the next page.
Juries
All students except Artist Diploma and Doctoral students must play annual juries (See jury requirements.)
It is suggested that students make arrangements with desired jury partners well in advance of the juries.
Think about your jury during spring vacation and return ready to settle on repertoire with your teachers and
Page 169 of 203

determine partners before the end of March. Partners with whom you have not worked earlier in the year
should be reminded to register with Molly Skardon as instrumental/vocal accompanists and to submit
timesheets for jury work.
Possible Third Year of MM or GD Study

The Juilliard School will try to honor requests by those Collaborative Piano students who desire a third years
residence in current degree or diploma programs of study. This exception is made in our department because
the administration understands well that your graduate years are, for most of you, the first time you are
actually studying full-time in the collaborative repertoire. We all know that Juilliards rich curricular offerings
cannot be enjoyed to the fullest without a third years study. Please understand that a third year is your
choice to make and should be considered based on your needs and desires. If you wish to request a third year,
you must first receive approval from the Collaborative Piano faculty. Upon that approval, you must write a
thoughtful, extremely articulate letter to the Dean, outlining your specific course needs and all other reasons
for your request. (Make sure you have a member of our department faculty check your letter before you send
it.) All requests of any type should be made, at the latest, early in the third semester. It is recommended,
however, that requests be made in the second semester of study. If a third year is granted, the additional
years study allows for a similar financial package to that held in the previous 2 years of study. If any student
in good standing wishes a third year of study without additional financial aid, such is possible with the
approval of the faculty alone.
Non-Required Recitals
Students may, with their teachers approval, play non-required recitals while at Juilliard. Collaborative
pianists certainly play many recitals while here (to be asked by your vocal and instrumental colleagues to
partner them IS one of your largest goals), but most often that colleague schedules the recital him/herself. If
you wish to schedule your own non-degree recital, however, the Concert Operations staff can explain their
lottery system used to give all free dates within each semester to students who request them. Make sure you
have your teachers approval first.
Collaborative Piano Department Performance Opportunities

Liederabende, Sonatenabende and Seminars are all required departmental performance events. The faculty
will make assignments for all students. The following are opportunities of which each student should seek to
be found worthy of participation.
Wednesdays at One
The Department of Vocal Arts coordinates two public recitals, one each semester, which take place on
previously announced particular Wednesdays at 1:00 pm in Alice Tully Hall. The Vocal Literature faculty
submits nominations for these recitals to the Vocal Arts Performance Activities Panel, which makes the final
selections. Singers normally have the right to request their preferred pianist partner, but such is done in
consultation with the VA (Vocal Arts) artistic director and the Collaborative Piano faculty. To participate in
any of these concerts, you MUST be in good academic standing. There is no payment for these concerts. It is
an honor to be chosen to participate.
Vocal Arts Honors Recital

The Vocal Arts Honors Recitals are held annually. This years concert will take place on March 23, 2017 at
7:30 pm in Alice Tully Hall. The Honors Recital gives singers and their partners who have demonstrated
exceptional skill as recitalists the opportunity to perform in one of Lincoln Centers premier venues. The voice
faculty submits nominations to the Vocal Arts Performance Activities Panel. Eligible singers are then paired
with student collaborative pianists of their own choosing but also in consultation with the VA (Vocal Arts)
artistic director and the Collaborative Piano faculty. The duos audition in December for a panel of guest
adjudicators who then select two pairs to perform half each of the actual recital. To be considered for this,
you MUST be in good academic standing. There is no payment for these concerts. It is the largest honor to be
chosen to participate. The audition date and time will be announced in the Vocal Arts Handbook.
Page 170 of 203

Community Engagement
Community Engagement programs offered by The Juilliard School benefit audiences throughout the five
boroughs of New York City and beyond, bringing the joy of the performing arts to the wider community.
These programs provide instructional opportunities in Dance, Drama and Music, epitomizing our institutions
commitment to sharing the arts with the community. By engaging in classroom teaching and interactive
performances, students gain the foundations necessary for them to embark on successful careers and
productive lives as artists, leaders and citizens (See Community Engagement).
Grants and Awards

Lucrezia Bori Grant - is awarded annually for intensive international language summer study abroad. You
must be a returning student in order to apply. In other words, you may not apply for the Bori Grant if you will
not be returning to Juilliard as a student after the summer study abroad. Recipients are required to submit to
the Deans Office (Dean Guzelimian) a written report of the Bori experience by October 1 after the summer in
which one has received the grant. Originally intended for Vocal Arts students only, the wealth of the Bori fund
became large enough that many collabs were annually encouraged to apply for the Bori, and many enjoyed
the benefits of a Bori grant.
Sing for Hope Grant - The Sing for Hope grant supports the creation of charitable benefit events or
educational initiatives in local communities. Proposals selected will be supported fully by Juilliards SING FOR
HOPE grant. The grants do not usually exceed $2,500. Students and Alumni of the Collaborative Piano
Department and Vocal Arts are eligible applicants. An invitation letter to submit proposals is sent from the
Provost and Deans Office in the spring semester. Proposals should be submitted directly to the Deans Office.
A sample proposal is located in the Vocal Arts Office. Recipients are required to submit a written report of the
Sing for Hope project within one year of having received the grant. This report should be submitted to the
Deans Office.
Juilliard Career, Project, and Entrepreneurship Grants

The Juilliard Career, Project, and Entrepreneurship Grants are designed to identify, support, and foster early
to mid-stage Juilliard student career needs, unique projects, businesses, and targeted initiatives; and by doing
so, enhance career opportunities and promote the spirit of entrepreneurship at Juilliard.
Career and Project Grants are awarded once per semester by application.
Entrepreneurship Grants are awarded in the spring semester by application and interview.
Career Advancement Fellowships will be awarded to ten graduating students from any discipline (open to
undergraduate and graduate) who are not immediately pursuing further graduate study upon completion
of their Juilliard degrees.
The Norman Benzaquen Career Advancement Grants will be awarded to five graduating classical
instrumental music majors (open to undergraduate and graduate), who are not immediately pursuing
further graduate study upon completion of their Juilliard degrees.
The Kovner Fellowship Program provides comprehensive scholarship support outstanding undergraduate
and graduate classical music students during their degree programs at The Juilliard School. Kovner
Fellows benefit not only from financial support but also from significantly enhanced programmatic
content with the goal of developing future leaders in the arts (See Alan D. Marks Center).
Recital Requirements
Please note: Concert Operations has stipulated that all recitals must be no longer than 90 minutes, including all
pauses and intermissions. Students are encouraged to prepare written or spoken program notes.
MM or Graduate Diploma
All recital programs are to be created in consultation with the major teacher, and should reflect the particular
students interests in her/his course of study. Only duos are allowed on graduation recitals; chamber music
pieces with three or more performers are not allowed for a Collaborative Piano graduation recital.
Normally, recitals are expected to be 75 minutes in length, including all pauses and intermissions, but
exceptions may be made with the permission of the Collaborative Piano faculty.
Page 171 of 203

DMA
Recital requirements for DMA candidates are published in the catalog and are available online under C.V. Starr
Doctoral Fellows: Performance Requirements. Performance requirements and repertoire are overseen by
the Doctoral Governance Committee in consultation with the major teacher and/or department chair.
Artist Diploma in Performance

Candidates are expected to perform a minimum of two full-length recitals during residency in the program,
one each year. Recital programs should be formulated in consultation with the major teacher and/or
department chair, and should include repertoire prepared during enrollment in the program. Performance
requirements for Artist Diploma candidates are overseen by a faculty committee chaired by the Provost and
Dean.
Jury Requirements
All juries will be approximately 20 minutes in length.
Students should provide their own singers and instrumentalists.
Works of equal importance and of the same style may be substituted ONLY with the permission of ALL
Collaborative Piano faculty.
Once a students program has been submitted, it may not under any circumstances be changed.
IMPORTANT: Each student will be emailed, from the Registrars Office and prior to the juries, a form on
which each student is to indicate the exact repertoire and timings of your jury program. You must print
three copies of this form and bring them into the jury for the use of the adjudicators. Look for that email. To
arrive without ones form proves to the jury that you do not read your professional email carefully enough
and that your jury is not as important to you as it should be.
Annual Jury for MM or Graduate Diploma

Repertoire List
A Collaborative Pianists complete rep list is a crucial document that lists the repertoire that one has studied
and is prepared to perform. This list is usually organized by instrumental and vocal categories, as well as
chamber music, orchestral piano, opera, oratorio and musical theatre. Occasionally, one gains a performing
opportunity solely due to ones repertoire list, so update it frequently! No other performing musician uses a
repertoire list as much as do collaborative pianists. It is too difficult to create a repertoire list at the time when
you will need it. It would be like writing a dissertation in a week. Ridiculous. Keep a list, daily, of all new
pieces AS YOU READ THEM IN LESSONS OR COACHINGS and determine to grow them to the point that you
could play them in a weeks notice, if it is instrumental, and overnight, if it is a song or aria. This is a good way
of knowing what belongs on your repertoire list and what doesnt. If you can return a piece on your repertoire
list to fine performance level in one week (or a day in the case of single arias or songs), it belongs on the list. If
you do not need to practice it at all, put it on your list immediately!
Sample Repertoire Lists

Reasons of space prohibit placing sample repertoire lists here, but if you simply start now by using the Career
Services Office, even during summers and/or before you actually arrive at school for your first semester, you
will give yourself a great gift of getting a head start on this important document. It must be created well, for it
will represent you throughout your career. See that it represents you well. You will find your colleagues also
generous to allow you to view their own documents and to offer comments on yours. Twice during each
school year, each student will be asked, either in Seminars or other departmental gatherings, to present your
repertoire lists (as well as your performance bios and rsums for critique and comment from faculty and
viewing by other students.
Basic Vocal Score List (By Renate Rohlfing, 12)

Ms. Rohlfing offers this to you as her basic vocal library that saw her most well through three years of
intensive vocal studio accompanying. She considers these scores the basis of any collaborative pianists
standard vocal repertoire needs in terms of owning scores.

(figured bass study beyond that found in Keyboard Skills classes, ornamentation/elaboration of realized
figured bass, Baroque and Classical period repertoire written for keyboards), organ, forte piano, harmonium,
etc. If one plays another non-keyboard instrument well, find a way to list this in your rsum or add it to your
repertoire list.

Performance
There are four types of performance opportunities organized by the School for Juilliard Jazz students. They
include
Curricular- Part of your grade for ensemble class and fully organized by the Jazz Studies Office
Development-Focused- Part of your role as a community member which assists the School in
fundraising by building greater awareness of the quality of our students. Organized primarily by the
Development and Public Affairs staff in partnership with the Jazz Studies Office
Extra-Curricular - Generally paid performance and teaching opportunities organized by Jazz Studies
Office and normally occurring outside the academic school year. These provide unique learning
opportunities and can assist with program recruitment.
Career Services- Paid performances organized through the Center for Career Services and
Entrepreneurship. Student leaders are generally responsible for organizing and rehearsing the
groups.
In addition, many students are asked to participate in outside engagements, which generally require
approval from the Jazz Studies Office before being accepted (see page 9). These engagements can be
rehearsed for on campus by following the Room & Equipment Reservation Policy (see page 5).
Rehearsal Protocol
Allow ample time to arrive and set up so that rehearsals start on time.
At the beginning of Juilliard Jazz Orchestra rehearsals, you should retrieve your assigned folder of
music from the music storage case and return it at the rehearsals conclusion.
Please see the Jazz Orchestra Student Assistant at JJO rehearsal if youd like to take your folder after
rehearsal. It is your responsibility to bring it to the next rehearsal or return it to the Jazz Orchestra
Student Assistant.
Please write on the parts with pencil only.
If you fail to return the music in its original, undamaged form, you may be charged a fee for the
necessary replacements.
Page 180 of 203

Drummers are responsible for setting up the drum set prior to the start of a rehearsal. This only applies
to the drummer(s) that are playing for the ensembles on that given day.
It is everyones responsibility to help with the rehearsal room set-up prior to the scheduled call time to
ensure that the rehearsal starts promptly. At the conclusion of the rehearsal, everyone should return
all chairs and stands to the appropriate storage area and leave the rehearsal room clean and in order.
Music
Large Ensemble rotations will be determined and communicated by the Jazz Orchestra Rehearsal
Conductor
Rehearsal parts will be emailed to students
Small Ensemble directors will determine which students will arrange for upcoming concerts.
Tickets
For in-house concerts:
Two complimentary tickets are available to each student. Tickets can be accessed at events.juilliard.edu
using the online ticketing system. You must log-in with your Juilliard credentials to obtain your ticket
allotment. It is advisable to reserve tickets early. Please be aware that unused tickets are released to the
general public two days prior to each concert
For concerts outside of Juilliard:

Complimentary tickets are not guaranteed for curricular concerts that take place outside of Juilliard. For
details and requests, please contact the Jazz Office two weeks prior to performance.
Room & Equipment Reservation Policy

It is educationally valuable for each Juilliard Jazz student to be supported and encouraged to organize their
own jam sessions and rehearsals. Each student should be proactive in making sure they play with each of
their colleagues during their time in the Juilliard Jazz. These sessions fall into three categories.
1. Curricular Rehearsals: Sectionals, or ensemble rehearsals needing to occur outside class time
2. Jam Sessions: Opportunities for students to practice together; be it Jury Tunes, concepts from
Improvisation Class or Ensembles
3. Non-Curricular Rehearsals: These may relate to a Career Service or Development
event, or an outside engagement
To support this effort, we are instituting a Room & Equipment Reservation policy that will support this work
while trusting each student to be responsible for the resources made available for this purpose.
Students may check out rooms (340, 563, and 565), drum set, guitar amp and/or a double bass to facilitate a
jam session or rehearsal. In addition, they may invite outside musicians to participate in jam sessions and
non-curricular rehearsals. The student signing out rooms and equipment for the session is responsible for all
participants in the session and may be financially responsible for any damages.
Steps for the Student:

1. Determine a preferred day and time for your session
2. Email the Jazz Coordinator (aadilifu@juilliard.edu) and the Jazz Production Manager
with:
a. Requested Date and Time frame of Session (ex. Thurs Oct 1st 2-4pm)
b. Desired Room
c. Names of all proposed attendees (both Juilliard and non-Juilliard)
d. Request use of Juilliard owned instruments and equipment
3. Await confirmation from the Jazz Coordinator of your room and equipment request
4. If confirmed, come to the office (Suite 222) on the day of the session to sign-out key(s) to room and
equipment.
5. Organize, clean and secure the room and all of the equipment used during the session.
6. Session keys must be returned per the following
Page 181 of 203

a. Same day return if Session is held during Jazz Office hours
b. Next day by noon return, if the session is held after Jazz Office hours
c. Weekend session keys to be returned by noon on the next school day.
Drum Policy
Only currently enrolled Jazz Drum and Vibraphone majors are allowed keys and access to the Drum
Rooms (room 444 & 423) and Drum Closets in rooms 563, 565 & 340.
Drum closets should remained locked at all times when not in use to ensure the safety of all equipment.
Drum/Vibes usage is primarily for the purposes of individual Jazz Drum and Vibraphone major
rehearsals and Juilliard-related performances.

Marcus Institute Curriculum
The Marcus Institute includes candidates for Bachelor of Music and Master of Music degrees, Graduate
Diplomas, Artist Diplomas in Opera Studies, and Doctorates in Musical Arts. Each program contains its own set
of Marcus Institute core curriculum, performance opportunities, and opera performance requirements
outlined below. One class all Marcus Institute students (except doctoral students) have in common is the
general Vocal Arts class (VAMUS) from 4-6pm Monday Friday. This is not a regular class that occurs every
day, but rather a curricular time the Marcus Institute reserves to use for classes, master classes, rehearsals,
special events, meetings, etc.
First-Year Undergraduates
Core Curriculum: The first year of the Vocal Arts curriculum focuses on the fundamentals of musicianship
on a broad scale as well as how to choose and prepare repertoire. The year begins with an introduction to
the coaching process through the Coaching 101 series, where first-year students observe a series of
coachings with other singers from the Institute and have the opportunity to ask questions about the
process. Upon completion of Coaching 101, first-years may begin to request coachings with members of
the Vocal Arts coaching faculty in order to support their individual artistic endeavors. First-year students
are also required to take the First Year Seminar series of classes and weekly music coachings, which
focuses on the various tools singers will need to successfully learn new music. Additional first-year Vocal
Arts classes include Introduction to Vocal Performance, Text and the Singer, Phonics, Italian Diction,
Rhythm and Performance, Movement, and Acting.
Curricular Performance Opportunities: First-year students participate in two curricular performance
opportunities: the fall First-year Presentation, and spring First-year Songbook. In both opportunities each
student may perform two songs, prepared and accompanied by a Vocal Arts faculty member assigned to
the project.
Opera: First-year singers are required, as assigned by the Institute, to participate in at least one Juilliard
Opera chorus.
Second-Year Undergraduates
Core Curriculum: Second-year students continue to advance their musicianship through Weekly Second-
year Music Coachings, where each student is paired with one coach and assigned weekly one-on-one
coachings per semester. Second-years also take Movement and Acting classes, along with English Diction
and German Diction. Second-years may also request additional coachings with members of the Vocal Arts
coaching faculty.
Curricular Performance Opportunities: The Juilliard Songbook provides second-year singers the
opportunity to prepare and perform a short set of art song repertoire. Students may sing up to 10 minutes
of music in this performance, prepared and accompanied by a Vocal Arts faculty member assigned to the
project.
Opera: Second-year singers are required, as assigned by the Institute, to participate in at least one Juilliard
Opera chorus, and may also participate in other opera performances as assigned.
Third-Year Undergraduates
Core Curriculum: The curriculum continues to build on the foundation established during the students
first two years. Advanced Acting classes emphasize improvisation, Viewpoints, stagecraft, and ensemble
work. Diction and repertoire classes continue with French Diction and Italian Vocal Literature. Students
may request coachings with members of the Vocal Arts coaching faculty.
Curricular Performance Opportunities: Third-year singers perform in a series of Shared Recitals in the

Fourth-Year Undergraduates
Core Curriculum: In the final year of the undergraduate curriculum, fourth-years will combine their skills
into practice: classwork will emphasize audition preparation, stagecraft, and ensemble work. Classes
include Vocal Arts Seminar, a seminar designed to address the extended needs and realities of todays
performers both on and off the stage, German Vocal Literature, French Vocal Literature, A History of
Singing, Recital Practicum, and Acting. Students may continue to request additional coachings with
members of the Vocal Arts coaching faculty.
Curricular Performance Opportunities: Fourth-years perform a Graduation Recital in the spring
semester. Each student is responsible for programming and preparing the recital (45-55 minutes of
music). Singers are also responsible for requesting coachings to prepare the recital with members of the

faculty. Further course work includes Vocal Arts Seminar, a seminar designed to address the extended
needs and realities of todays performers both on and off the stage, Movement, and Italian, French, and
German Diction and Vocal Literature classes. The MMGD curriculum is complemented throughout the
year with additional seminars, master classes, and residencies taught by guest artists, guest faculty and
Vocal Arts faculty members.

Core Curriculum: ADOS is a two-year program for singers at a highly advanced level of training who wish
to pursue focused studies in opera. The ADOS curriculum is centered in intensive acting and audition
study in group ADOS Class with Stephen Wadsworth, the Director of ADOS and James S. Marcus Faculty
Fellow, and Mary Birnbaum, Associate Director of ADOS. This curriculum is supported through a regular
rotation of one-on-one ADOS coachings with Stephen and Mary, as well as with ADOS Musical Advisor
Diane Richardson, and ADOS Dramatic Advisor Eve Shapiro. Additionally, every six weeks ADOS students
meet with the Director for Curriculum and Schedules to arrange Focus Coachings, a student-driven, goal-
based coaching plan centering on specific Vocal Arts coaching faculty. ADOS students also participate in
Page 189 of 203

curricular ADOS Auditions, hosted by Stephen Wadsworth, with visiting opera companies, managers, and
industry leaders scheduled throughout the year.
Evaluation: By the nature of their program, Artist Diploma students are evaluated consistently
throughout the year by their instructors. During the first year of study, the faculty and administration of
the Marcus Institute will formally review the progress of each first-year Artist Diploma student to
determine the suitability of renewing the singers participation in the program for a second year. If first-
year students have demonstrated the necessary progress and fulfilled the curricular and performance
responsibilities of the program as determined by the Institute, first-year students will be invited to
return for a second and culminating year of the Artist Diploma program via letter issued at the end of
their first year.
Curricular Performance Opportunities: There are no curricular recital or performance requirements for
ADOS students except as assigned by the Institute.
Opera: ADOS students have the opportunity to be cast in the fully-staged Juilliard Opera productions.
ADOS singers are required, as assigned by the Institute, to participate in at least one Juilliard Opera
chorus per year.
Doctor in Musical Arts (DMA)

Vocal Arts Involvement: Vocal Arts DMA students are not formally required to enroll in any Vocal Arts
classes or participate in any Vocal Arts performance opportunities separate from their doctoral studies
curriculum. However, DMA students may choose to request coachings with Vocal Arts faculty to enrich
their doctoral curriculum and various projects. These coachings will be granted subject to the availability
of the Vocal Arts faculty and the broader needs of the department as a whole.

repertoire requirements vary by year. All detailed information can be obtained through the Registrars office
or on the Juilliard website. Artist Diploma students do not have a jury requirement.
Extra-Curricular Performance Opportunities

In addition to the core curricular performance opportunities mentioned above, the Marcus Institute offers a
wide range of extra-curricular performance opportunities. These opportunities are not required or
guaranteed by virtue of enrollment in a Marcus Institute program and are cast on the basis of the Marcus

Students have the opportunity to be cast in Vocal Arts annual opera productions. This includes two Juilliard
Opera mainstage productions, one Juilliard Opera black-box production, and one internal undergraduate
opera production.
Alice Tully Vocal Arts Recital

A Marcus Institute graduate is chosen to perform a recital at Alice Tully Hall every year. Programmed with
and produced by the Marcus Institute, recent past recitalists include Ying Fang, Jennifer Zetlan, Paul Appleby
and Sasha Cooke.
Auditions (for outside opportunities)

Periodically, opera companies and young artist programs come to New York to hold auditions. On occasion,
these organizations have a limited number of openings in their audition schedule to hear students from
Juilliard. In such instances, students are recommended by Brian Zeger to audition based on the needs of the
visiting companies or the roles these companies may be looking to fill in upcoming seasons. Students will be
notified by invitation via email.
Development Events
Periodically the Office of Development and Public Affairs requests vocalists and/or specific repertoire for
special events. The Institute selects singers to participate in these opportunities based on the nature of the
event and the students availability. In addition to performing, the selected singers act as ambassadors for the
Institute at these events.
Juilliard Songfest
Juilliard Songfest is a concert of song repertoire performed in Alice Tully Hall. Marcus Institute Artistic Director
Brian Zeger curates the program, coaches the singers, and joins the singers onstage at the piano.
Liederabend Series
The Marcus Institute and Collaborative Piano Department jointly produce the Liederabend Series, a series of

Vocal Arts Honors Recital

Every year, two singers are selected to perform in the annual Vocal Arts Honors Recital. The Vocal Arts
Performance Activities Panel (VAPAP) selects and invites singers to audition from a list of singers nominated
by the Voice faculty. Once invited to audition, students choose a collaborative pianist as their performance
partner and prepare an excerpt from a thirty-minute recital they propose to give if chosen. A panel of guest
adjudicators selects two singer-pianist pairs to perform in recital. This year the performance will take place in
Alice Tully Hall.
Wednesdays at One
Juilliard students from all departments perform for the community in a series of free hour-long concerts in
Alice Tully Hall on Wednesdays throughout the season. The Marcus Institute programs two of these
performances each year. The VAPAP selects the participants for the Wednesdays at One recitals from a list of
singers nominated by the Voice faculty. Students perform with a current collaborative pianist of their choice.
Marcus Institute Policies and Procedures

Agreement to Marcus Institute Policies as an Active and Responsible Citizen
As members of the Marcus Institute community, we expect that students will read, fully understand, and
adhere to the Marcus Institute policies found in this section of the handbook. We also expect every member of
the community to uphold these principles for active and responsible citizenship:
Professionalism: Interacting with colleagues, faculty, artists, staff, and guest faculty in a respectful and
professional manner. This includes maintaining a respectful tone in-person, by phone, and through email
interactions, responding to email and phone correspondences from faculty and staff in a timely fashion,
respecting deadlines that are set by the Institute for specific projects and performance opportunities,
dressing appropriately, and being punctual for all required activities.
Citizenship: Actively participating in, supporting, and promoting the Institute by attending meetings,
student performances, and offering feedback in a positive manner.
Artistic Growth: Taking responsibility for artistic progress by taking such steps as practicing consistently
outside of regular lesson and class times, and being proactive by requesting individual coachings when
needed for upcoming performances.
Preparedness: A student of the Marcus Institute demonstrates artistic integrity and commitment, as well
as respect for colleagues and faculty, by arriving to all coachings, rehearsals, meetings, and classes fully
prepared. Each student arrives on time with music and any other required materials ready, and all music
is learned and rehearsed to the best of his or her abilities. Translations are complete and each student
possesses thorough understanding of the meaning of the text. Each student is thoroughly up-to-date, has
checked and responded to emails within his or her Juilliard email account, has listened to voice messages,
and has attended meetings as assigned.
Conduct: A high level of professionalism and focus is expected of students at all times during Marcus
Institute activities. There is no eating or drinking (other than water) in the classrooms or performance
spaces. Cell phones and other electronic devices are to be silenced and put away in all Vocal Arts studios
or classrooms. Use of a cell phone during class or rehearsal, including texting, is strictly prohibited.
Attendance
Attendance is mandatory for all assigned coachings, rehearsals, classes, meetings, and fittings. Attendance
will be taken at all Vocal Arts classes, meetings, rehearsals, coachings, and other scheduled events. Unexcused
absences are not permitted, and may result in a lowered grade or required meeting with the Artistic and
Administrative Directors to discuss the absence. All attendance is closely monitored, and may affect your
future involvement in the Institute.
Page 192 of 203

If an emergency arises and a student needs to miss a coaching, class, or Vocal Arts activity, please call the
Vocal Arts office or email the Vocal Arts staff at VocalArtsStaffDL@juilliard.edu. This way, even if one of our
staff members is not present in the office, someone will be able to relay information to the relevant parties. It
may not be possible to reschedule cancelled coachings.
In the case of illness, students should inform the Vocal Arts office as soon as possible if he/she needs to cancel
a coaching or be absent from rehearsal or class. Out of respect for coaches and colleagues, students should not
wait to notify the Vocal Arts office until the last minute. After 5pm, students who are ill and need to miss an
opera rehearsal should call or text the production stage manager, as well as email Vocal Arts staff.
Maintenance of Good Academic and Departmental Standing

Vocal Arts students are expected to maintain both good academic standing with Juilliard and good standing as
a citizen in our department.
The Vocal Arts Director of Curriculum and Schedules is notified each time a Vocal Arts student receives a
letter of academic concern or warning from the Juilliard Registrar or the Dean of Academic Affairs. The
Director of Curriculum and Schedules is also notified by the Dean if a Vocal Arts student is placed on
probation. (For a detailed description of student status and Juilliard procedures, please see the Academic
Information section of this Handbook.) If a student is notified of concern, warning, or probation status they
will meet with the Director of Curriculum and Schedules to discuss the issues addressed in the letter(s), and to
make a detailed plan for improvement. Additionally, if a student is notified that they have been placed on
probation with Juilliard, they will no longer be eligible to be cast in new performance
opportunities. Depending on the severity of the issues addressed in the letter, students may have existing
casting revoked.
When students do not meet the principles for active and responsible Vocal Arts citizenship and attendance
detailed above, they may also be placed on Vocal Arts departmental probation. If a student is notified Vocal
Arts probation status, they will meet with the Director of Curriculum and Schedules to discuss the infraction
and to make a detailed plan for improvement including a timeline for when the probation status will be
reviewed, and possibly lifted upon successful demonstration of the agreed-upon improvements. Vocal Arts
departmental probation will result in ineligibility to be cast in new performance opportunities. Depending on
the severity of the infraction(s), students may also have existing casting revoked.
Casting
At the beginning of each academic year, all students participate in casting auditions for performance
opportunities including but not limited to opera productions, art song and opera scenes performances,
collaborations with the Historical Performance department, Liederabends, and the NYFOS@Juilliard concert.
However, many opportunities come up throughout the year and a students continued development over the
course of the year is taken into account when casting for the additional opportunities.
Each students academic standing is taken into consideration when casting various performance
opportunities. Academic standing may impact the performance and audition opportunities offered to a
student. Other factors which may affect casting beyond academic standing and performance in the fall casting
auditions include:
Professionalism, Preparedness, and Citizenship: This includes but is not limited to musical preparedness,
punctuality, attendance at coachings and rehearsals, interaction with fellow students, faculty, guest faculty
and administrative staff, and adherence to the policies and procedures outlined in this handbook.
Artistic Growth: Throughout the academic year the Institute will request feedback from studio teachers
and Vocal Arts coaches to assess each students artistic progress. Students may also demonstrate progress
in rehearsals and performances.
Experience Level and Past Performance History: The Institute strives to be impartial and fair when
assigning performance opportunities. Casting decisions take into account specific needs of roles and
productions as well as students availability and past casting history. Good artistic citizenship in previous
performances at Juilliard is taken into account as well.

Communication
It is Juilliards policy to have all primary communication to students take place via email. All Juilliard-related
communication from the Vocal Arts office will come through a students Juilliard email account, and students
are expected to check it frequently. Since phones must be off during all classes and coachings, students should
get in the habit of checking voicemail and email during breaks throughout the day. On a school-wide level,
Juilliard students are responsible for all official school notices and correspondence sent to their Juilliard email
account.
Confidentiality and Safety

Marcus Institute students are responsible for maintaining a safe physical and artistic space for the community,
both inside and outside the classroom and rehearsal room. All Juilliard coachings and rehearsals are closed to
visitors unless guests are specifically invited to attend an event by the Marcus Institute. This is for the
personal and artistic safety of all personnel. Students may also have access to information meant for the
internal community only, such as advance knowledge of the details of the upcoming season. Students will also
receive documents, such as the Vocal Arts newsletter, meant for internal distribution only, which must not be
shared beyond the Vocal Arts community. Sharing of any internal information, via Facebook, email, etc., may
result in a meeting with the Artistic or Administrative Directors to discuss further action.
Free Tickets
Free tickets to Metropolitan Opera productions, concerts at Carnegie Hall, and many other performances are
occasionally made available to Vocal Arts students. These tickets come from a variety of sources such as other
artistic institutions and Juilliard donors.
Free ticket offers will be sent out via email interested students with availability on their schedules may
reply, and a staff member will be in touch if there is a ticket available. Students must be in good academic
standing to receive free tickets. By accepting a free ticket, students agree to use the ticket themselves they
may not sell or give their ticket away to any other person. Failure to comply by these rules may affect whether
a student is granted future free tickets. When free tickets are provided by specific donors, the student who
used the ticket must come to the Vocal Arts office the following day to write a thank-you note to the donor.
Marcus Institute Release Requests

Because of the intensive nature of the Marcus Institute curriculum, students must be available Monday
through Saturday from 9am-11pm with occasional on-stage rehearsals and performance opportunities on
Sundays.
The Release Process

If students would like to block time in their schedules for any reason during the school year, they must submit
a release request. (see Sample Release Request Form) This could include anything from an afternoon audition,
an out-of-town gig, or a weekly recurring doctors appointment. Yellow release request forms are available in
the Vocal Arts office, and should be turned in to the Vocal Arts staff no later than Wednesday at noon to be
considered for the following week. Before confirming any plans, signing any contracts, or giving any verbal
agreements, students must have received an approved release via email simply submitting a request, or
speaking with the Artistic or Administrative Directors does not constitute a release. Students will be sent an
official email detailing the status of each release request.
If a release request is approved, the approved time will be blocked off in the students schedule, and the
student will not be scheduled for any Marcus Institute activities during that time period. Approved releases
from the Marcus Institute do not release students from any academic classes students must still speak with
their teachers for their approval regarding any academic commitments they may miss.
If a release request is denied, the student is expected to be available and on campus at that time and must be
present at any rehearsal, coaching, or class they are scheduled for.
Page 194 of 203

Professional Leave Panel
A release request consisting of more than five consecutive school days must also be submitted to the Deans
office to be considered by the Professional Leave Panel at least six weeks prior to departure. The Professional
Leave Panel meets monthly to consider requests for leave, so it is a students responsibility to request
professional leave well in advance. Even in these cases, the first step for release is to fill out a Marcus Institute
release request form.
Performance Assignment Responsibilities

These responsibilities pertain to students assigned both to opera roles and other extra-curricular
performance opportunities and casting assignments. Specific additional responsibilities may be assigned
beyond those below, and will be communicated on a per-opportunity basis.
Preparation
For all performance opportunities, it is the students responsibility to ensure that all music and text is
well-prepared and learned. This applies for opportunities including, but not limited to, opera principal or
cover roles, concert and master class opportunities, and chorus requirements. For some performance
opportunities, a student will be assigned coachings with music staff. If additional preparation is needed
beyond what may be assigned, it is the students responsibility to request additional coachings.
Covers and alternates are expected to be as fully prepared as principals, though they may not be assigned
as many rehearsals/coachings. These students may request additional coachings, and are encouraged to
request to observe rehearsals. Covers or alternates may be called upon to step in for rehearsals or
performances at any time. In such cases they are expected to be prepared and will be given as much notice
as possible.
Students must engage fully in the preparation and rehearsal process for all performance opportunities,
employing their musical and artistic faculties to the best of their ability, and asking questions when they
need assistance.
Music must be prepared and memorized by the off-book deadline assigned for each production or
performance opportunity. Progress will be tracked throughout the preparation/rehearsal period for each
project. For opera productions, progress will be noted throughout the process and at events including the
principal sing-through, the cover sing-though, and the chorus assessment.
Attendance
By accepting a performance opportunity, a student agrees to be available for the entire production period.
Students must attend all coachings, rehearsals, fittings, performances, and other scheduled
production/project-related activities as assigned.
Covers and alternates are required to either attend or be on campus for all performances. Specific call
times and/or responsibilities will be communicated per performance opportunity.
Texts and Translations

Students are required to submit the texts and translations for any repertoire they are performing for a
number of performance opportunities such as Liederabends, Wednesdays at One, Songbooks, etc. (see Sample
Texts and Translations) These texts and translations are due to the respective projects Vocal Arts producer
via email in a Word document. The deadline will be set by the Vocal Arts office in order to comply with
program printing deadlines, and will be communicated to the students via email. Required text and
translation information includes the composers name and dates, the original text and poet/librettists name,
the translated text, and the translators name.
Vocal Arts Schedule

In addition to The Marcus Institute core curriculum, each singers studies are tailored and individualized to
their educational priorities and interests through the weekly scheduling of coachings, classes, and other
curricular activities and events. This customized coaching system is one of the hallmarks of the Marcus
Institute, and allows students to progress at their own pace and take an active role in their own education. All
students from second-year undergraduates through ADOS may request coachings; first-years may request
coachings upon successful completion of the Coaching 101 series.
Page 195 of 203

Weekly Schedule
Every Friday, the Schedule and Program Coordinator will email each students weekly schedule to their
Juilliard email account for the following week. This schedule will include all coachings, classes, rehearsals, etc.
assigned to each student. All events on the weekly schedule are required unless otherwise noted. Students
must read their schedules carefully each Friday and contact the Schedule and Program Coordinator
immediately if there are any potential errors or conflicts. Any necessary changes to the schedule after it has
been sent out will be communicated via email or telephone by the Vocal Arts office or stage management.
Coaching Request Policy

Coaching requests are due by Wednesday at noon to the Vocal Arts office for the following week. Late requests
may not be considered for the upcoming weeks schedule. The Schedule and Program Coordinator reviews all
coaching requests against the students and coaches availabilities. Some coaches hours are largely dedicated
to specific productions or programs of study, and others have very limited hours. If it is possible to fulfill a
coaching request, students will be scheduled for the requested coaching during the requested week. Students
who request and receive a coaching are responsible for being well-prepared and arriving on-time.
Voice Lessons
Singers are responsible for scheduling their own voice lessons. Lessons and travel to and from lessons should
not be scheduled Monday Friday between 4pm-6pm (during the VAMUS time). During this time singers will
have Vocal Arts classes, opera rehearsals, and many other events. At the beginning of each semester, all
students must check their voice lesson times with the Schedule and Program Coordinator.
Unscheduled Time
Once the schedule is sent, students may use any unscheduled time during that upcoming week for their
personal commitments. If you plan to leave town, however, we do request that you simply let us know by
calling the office or emailing the Vocal Arts staff at VocalArtsStaffDL@juilliard.edu. That way, in case of an
emergency or travel delays, we have prior knowledge of the situation.
Maintaining Health and Wellness

The programs of the Marcus Institute are demanding, and it is important that students cultivate good wellness
habits, including eating and sleeping properly. Good health will contribute to a students artistic development
and promote mental well-being. Since the Marcus Institute programs are rigorous, effective planning skills
will be crucial for success in fulfilling a students Institute and academic responsibilities while maintaining a
balanced lifestyle. Careful attention is paid to a students turnaround time between late-night and morning
activities. Any student who feels overwhelmed by the workload should not hesitate to come by the Vocal Arts
office. Health Services also provides free and confidential counseling to all Juilliard students, as well as one-
on-one sessions with a Performance Nutritionist.
Vocal Arts Spaces

Locker Rooms
At the beginning of the year, lockers will be assigned to all students in the mens and womens locker rooms.
Some lockers will require students to provide their own locks, and others have built-in combination locks.
Students who accept a locker at the beginning of the year agree to abide by the Institutes locker policies.
Students must secure all valuables in the lockers themselves, rather than in the common space, and are
responsible for the safekeeping of all personal belongings. Students are welcome to use the hanging bars and
coat hooks in the common space, but must lock valuables in the lockers themselves.
Students may use the microwave, refrigerator, and pantry storage space in the locker room. Students are
responsible for throwing away old or spoiled food, and keeping the kitchen area clean. The locker room is a
shared space all community members must be considerate and keep the room clean so that it remains a
comfortable and useful space for everyone. Lockers must be cleaned out by the end of the year any items left
in the locker room after the last day of school will be thrown away or donated to charity.

there are three practice rooms designated specifically for Vocal Arts students from Monday through Friday:

Lombre des arbres The shadow of trees

Text by Paul Verlaine Translation by James R. Briscoe
L'ombre des arbres dans la rivire embrume The clouds are coming from my homeland
Muert comme de la fume, Behind the red lightning flashes.
Tandis qu'en l'air, parmi les ramure relles But Father and Mother are long dead;
Se plaignent les tourterelles. No one there knows me anymore.
Combien voyageur, ce paysage blme How soon, oh how soon, the quiet time will
Te mira blme toi-mme, Come when I too will rest, and above me
Et que tristes pleuraient dans les hautes The beautiful solitary forest rustles,
feuilles And no one here knows me anymore.
Tes esprances noyes.

Meine Seele hat Schwingen der Nachtigall, My soul has the wings of a nightingale
