Schedule
Most courses are scheduled from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm,
Monday through Friday (unless otherwise noted). Most classes are held in St.
Mary's Hall located on Villanova University's West Campus. In 2009 additional
classes were offered at one off-campus site, Parkland High School, Allentown, PA.
Click here for directions to the off-campus site. We do not offer housing or
meal services at off-campus locations.
Tuition
Visit the
registration & tuition area of our website for details of fees from 2009,
including information on our full courses, waiting lists, and cancellation
policies. A modest price increase can be expected for 2010.
Materials, Equipment & Supplies
Our convenient low tuition covers the entire cost of the program including
special equipment, texts (if any), supplies, and materials. There are no other
costs. However, do check course descriptions for instrumental courses where
instruments are not provided.
Credits/Auditing
Each course earns a designated number of graduate credits from our credit
granting partner, The University of the Arts in Philadelphia, unless
otherwise noted. Any course may be audited for no credit if there is room.
There is no discount for auditing. Students may repeat a previously taken
course, as the experience and content may be unique each time. Be advised
that course repetition may not be accepted by many school districts or colleges.
Pennsylvania Act 48
Beginning July 1, 2000, Act 48 of 1999 required persons holding Pennsylvania
professional educator certification to complete continuing education requirements every
five years in order to maintain their certificates as active.
All of our Summer Music Studies courses are eligible for Act 48 activity
hours.
Students must supply their unique PA Act 48 Professional Personal ID number
upon registration in order to have his or her direct contact hours reported.
Students should log into the PA Department of Education website (https://www.perms.ed.state.pa.us/Screens/wfPublicAccess.aspx)
to obtain this ID number. Information regarding course activity hours will be
reported to the Commonwealth website beginning in late summer and continuing
through early fall. We do not
provide graduate credit information to the Commonwealth for the purposes of Act 48 - we report activity hours only.
