Who is my Student Success Coach (SSC)?
Hi! My name is Sam (Samantha) Naple. I have been a Student Success Coach at CBU since 2014, and I have been assigned to the School of Performing Arts since 2019. I also advise majors in the College of Behavioral and Social Sciences, as well as Undeclared students.
My BA is in Psychology, and my MS is in Education (School Counseling), both from CBU. Prior to CBU, I attended RCC, so I understand the special challenges of being a transfer (and commuter!) student.
While I attended CBU from 2007-2011, I played clarinet in UCO and Wind Ensemble. I've been a certified band geek since 1994, when I first started playing clarinet in the 4th grade. My first choice was percussion, but there weren't enough drum pads. Though I was bummed about it at the time, I now love the clarinet and can't imagine playing anything else!
How do I get in contact with my SSC?

Which classes should I take in FALL 2024?
Whenever registration season rolls around, take these two steps to figure out which classes you need:
Look at the sample plan of your major planning guide. (Click bottom tab labeled "Sample Plan")
Review your degree guide. (PDF version) This is especially helpful for transfer students.
PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO
Music Theory and Lab. Are you staying on track?
Ensembles and Private Instruction. Depending on your major, you should be in at least 1 unit of each. Check for "Residency Requirements" if you are earning a BM (Bachelor of Music).
Class Piano. Are you keeping up with your proficiency requirements?
Theatre Practicum. Are you taking at least 1 unit of practicum each semester?
Classes with Prerequisites. Look at the "Prerequisite" column on the major planning guide. Have you been taking these in the correct order to stay on track?
Scholarship Requirements. Which ensembles do you need to keep your music scholarship?
Always register for your MAJOR classes first. Start with ensembles, private instruction, and/or practicum, then add your other MUS or THE classes. Add GE and/or electives last, if needed.
When and how can I register?
WHEN?
If you have a music major, minor, or scholarship:
Seniors or Juniors = Monday, February 5th, 9AM
Sophomores or Freshmen = Wednesday, February 7th, 9AM
If you have a Theatre major, minor, or scholarship:
Find your registration date* HERE.
*Registration dates for Theatre students without a music participation scholarship are based on your classification and the amount of units you have earned so far. For example, if you are a freshman with 12 units earned so far, your registration should open at 12PM on February 26th.
HOW?
PRO TIP: BOOKMARK THE CBU ACADEMIC CALENDAR.
Help! I'm getting an error message, course conflict, or other issue.
FIRST, check the following:
Is your Term set to the correct semester? (FA 2024)
If you are trying to register for Theory/Lab, register for THEORY first. Then, InsideCBU will prompt you to add the Lab section.
If you are trying to register for lessons and ensembles, register for LESSONS (Private Instruction or Practicum) first. Then, add your ensemble(s).

How do I get a degree plan?
If you started here as a Freshman, follow the sample plan on your major planning guide.
If you started here as a transfer student or changed your major, you may benefit from creating your own degree plan.
