All new Bachelor of Music or Licentiate in Music students, including students from other faculties who are interested in pursuing a music minor with prerequisites, may sit diagnostic placement examinations in theory (courses with MUTH or MUJZ prefixes) and musicianship (courses with MUSP prefixes) if they wish to register for 200-level courses in these subjects. Placement examinations take place once a year during the Summer.

Students may also be exempt from MUHL 186 Western Musical Traditions or MUJZ 187 Jazz History Survey if they have successfully completed equivalent history courses at another college or university, or have passed the Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) History exam. See Transfer Credits FAQs for more information.
