Parking Policy

Campus policy requires that each vehicle have a parking tag hanging on the rearview
mirror.

A $5.00 parking tag for CMS parents and students can be obtained by visiting the University
Police station located at 1301 SGA Drive in Pride Hall (next to the Sims Memorial
Library) and presenting a CMS parking slip, which will be mailed to you and is also
available at the CMS office.

NOTE: If you currently have a Southeastern parking tag of any kind, you must use that
tag as a CMS parent or student. Visitor tags will only be assigned to those who are
not currently enrolled as a Southeastern student or employed by the university.

 

In the Music Building

The Community Music School clients and staff must follow all university COVID-19 guidelines
and policies. The CMS has a designated waiting area, located on the second floor of
the Pottle Annex. Parents and students are welcome to use this area, along with the
Student Lounge (also located on the second floor) when waiting for lessons.

We ask that students under age 12 be accompanied by an adult when in the music building
and that younger siblings not be left unattended in the CMS waiting areas.

 

Lesson Preparation

CMS students should come to lessons each week with all necessary materials.

We ask parents of CMS students under high school age to communicate with their child’s
instructor on a regular basis regarding weekly assignments.

 

Missed Lessons

Up to two (2) makeup lessons per semester are available to CMS students who must miss
a lesson due to illness or family emergency, provided they have given the instructor
three (3) hours notice.

If a student must miss more than two lessons in one semester, tuition can be credited
towards the following semester, provided these lessons are excused. CMS Instructors
are not required to make up lessons for reasons other than those indicated above.

If you need to reschedule an upcoming lesson due to other reasons, please contact
your instructor immediately.

If the student is ill, or there is a family emergency, the instructor must be notified
at least three (3) hours prior the regularly scheduled lesson. 

NOTE: If the instructor is not present for a regularly scheduled lesson and you have
not been informed in advance, contact the CMS office.

 

Weapons

No weapons of any kind shall ever be brought into a lesson.

 

Termination of Lessons

In the event that a student would like to terminate their lessons with CMS prior to
the end of the semester, we require four weeks notice, or a payment equivalent to
four lessons counted from the date of the notice.

 

Recitals

Participation in our end of the semester recitals is strongly encouraged, but not
mandatory.

In addition, students and parents should take advantage of the stellar quality of
the Southeastern Music Department faculty and student performances. Along with providing
excellent exposure to varying types of classical music repertoire, these occasions
also afford CMS students additional artists from which to learn, apart from their
individual teachers.
