Room Reservations and Rentals

• Vault Hours

  Vault Hours

  The Vault is normally open from 8am to 5pm Monday through Friday. We cannot guarantee that we will actually be available during the hours posted because our duties frequently require that we be in another part of the building, somewhere else on campus, or away from campus. If we are not there when you come by, keep trying.

• Locker Rentals

  Locker Rentals

  Lockers are available for rental in a variety of sizes by following these instructions:

  1. Fill out and submit the online form.
  2. Pay the rental fee of $10 per semester in person at the Vault. (Cash only)
  3. Your locker will be assigned at that time and you will be given the combination.

   

  Online Locker Rental Form

  The locker can be renewed on the same contract for sequential semesters, but a new contract must be signed for each school year.

  At the end of each semester, any lockers that have not been renewed are either emptied of their contents (those contents are stored in the Vault to be picked up by the person who signed the locker contract) or the lock will be changed until the fee is paid for the new semester.

  Drum Locker Rentals

  If you are a UNC Student, drum set is your primary instrument, and you are enrolled in drum set lessons, please use this form to rent a locker

• Instrument Rentals

  Instrument Rentals

  Instruments can be rented through the Vault for use by UNC students enrolled in music courses for classes and performances presented by the CPVA. Here is the procedure:

  1. Fill out and submit this online form.
  2. Pay the rental fee of $35 (CASH ONLY!) in person at the Vault. If a second instrument is rented in the same semester, the fee for that instrument is an additional $25. The fees for any instruments beyond those two will be waived.
  3. Your instrument will be assigned and you can pick it up at that time.

   

  Online instrument rental form

  For those enrolled in Methods Classes (strings, woodwinds, or brass), the single $35 fee will transfer from one instrument to the next as you change instruments through the semester; however, a separate contract and additional fee of $25 is required for students taking more than one Methods class in a semester.

  Rented instruments must be returned to the Vault by Wednesday of Finals Week each semester. A late fee of $5 per day will be assessed and charged to your student account for each calendar day after the due date. A Contract Extension may be requested if you need the instrument for a Final Exam on Thursday or Friday of Finals Week or if you need the instrument to play at the Commencement ceremony. Contracts will not be extended beyond the Monday following Finals Week and late fees will be assessed. If an instrument is not returned to the Vault within 30 days of its due date, the student will be charged the full replacement cost of the instrument as stated in the contract.

• Online Room Request

  Online Room Request

  Rooms in Frasier Hall and Campus Commons may be requested for student use by completing an online request form. Requests are processed in the order they are received, usually on the following business day. Submitting a request does not reserve the room; you will receive a confirmation email with the room reservation if we are able to fulfill your request. 

  Any classroom that is normally used for music classes may be requested. Rooms in the Music Library are reserved through the Library. Practice rooms may not be reserved. Milne Auditorium can only be used by the School of Music for recitals and dress rehearsals. We do not have access to Milne before 4:30pm on weekdays because it is disruptive to classes in Kepner.

If you need any special equipment or special stage set-up for a performance, (e.g., harpsichord), make sure to communicate with the Vault Supervisor at least one month before the performance.

Curricular Practical Training

Curricular Practical Training: UNC School of Music students routinely participate in paid and unpaid teaching and performance opportunities both on and off campus to develop as performers and educators during their degree programs. Although the expectation is not explicit in the catalog requirements, practical application and participation is an expected and necessary part of the curriculum for all School of Music students. Students are expected to work with their applied teacher and area faculty to evaluate the applicability of teaching or performance opportunities to their program of study.
