Jordan College of the
Arts - Event Attendance Requirements
As an essential component of arts education, all undergraduate
JCA majors (including primary, secondary and double majors and
music minors) are required to attend events in their discipline and
related areas. Double majors within JCA are required to
complete their total amount of arts attendance requirements for
primary major and one half the amount of arts requirements for
their secondary major. Each department or program establishes
minimum attendance expectations for its students. Attendance
records will be maintained in the JCA office; see Janice Thornburgh
if you have any questions.
New/Effective Fall 2012: During their 4 years at Butler,
students must attend 8 events (2 in each discipline) outside
the Butler community selected from the Metro Indianapolis Specified
Event List. The student brings back the ticket stub(s) and
program(s) or other written verification of attendance to the
department head or advisor; the student obtains the department head
or advisor's signature on an Event Attendance card and returns it
to the JCA receptionist.
Notes:
- All JCA student, faculty, and guest
recitals/productions/exhibitions/lectures, along with all Clowes
Hall arts events, will satisfy attendance requirements.
- Additionally, students must attend events outside the Butler
community selected from the attached Metro Indianapolis Specified
Event List. The student brings back the ticket stub(s) and
program(s) or other written verification of attendance to the
department head or advisor; and the student obtains the department
head's or advisor's signature on an Event Attendance card and
returns it to the JCA receptionist.
- Outside events are limited to those that are closely related in
nature to on-campus productions.
- Attendance at repeat performances of the same program will not
count.
- Students will not receive credit for performances or
exhibitions in which they participate.
- To receive credit for on-campus events, obtain an Event
Attendance Card from a faculty member or Clowes Hall staff prior to
the start of the performance. Complete the card and return it
to the person in charge at the conclusion of the performance.
