Part Two: Approved CEVT events

You may only receive credit once for an event in any semester; credit is not given for attending the same event twice - this includes off campus events/museums.

Only 1 (one) off campus event will count per semester; 2 of your 3 events must be satisfied on campus. Exceptions are made for students fulfilling internships outside the Upstate SC area. Email theatre@ngu.edu for permission if you are an intern.

Before you can receive credit for CEVT 1000 the event must meet the following criteria:

1. On campus events

            Check the NGU web site [current CEVT events] for a list of arts/lecture series events. Not all events on campus meet the CEVT criteria - only those listed on this site. Some events require a ticket for admittance – secure a ticket from the CEVT office (M 8, lower floor of Turner) and present it for admittance. Then present your current NGU ID card to be scanned for credit. No tickets are accepted - you must have a current NGU student ID for credit at the conclusion of the event.

2. Off campus events [note: only 1 per semester is counted for credit]

Events which meet CEVT requirements

            In order to receive CEVT 1000 credit for an event off campus it must meet the following criteria. We are not passing judgment on other events or organizations; this limited list is provided to ensure our ability to monitor the 1700+ students who take CEVT 1000 each semester.

1. Art museums: only the Greenville County Museum of Art and the Bob Jones University Museum of Art (the BJU campus location only - the downtown location does not count for CEVT credit) are acceptable for credit. You must spend a minimum of 1 hour in the museum and complete a museum experience form and turn in a hard copy of the form to the CEVT office (M 8 lower floor of Turner). Note: no other exhibits off campus count for CEVT 1000.

2. A ticketed performance by one of the following professional organizations: Greenville Symphony Orchestra, Greenville Little Theatre, Center Stage SC, Carolina Ballet Theatre, International Ballet Theater, Warehouse Theatre, Foothills Philharmonic Orchestra, Chicora Voices, SC Children’s Theatre performances at the Peace Center.

3. A ticketed performance by a touring, professional arts group (theatre, dance, or music) at the Peace Center. This does not include popular or country music, stand up comedy, etc.

4. A faculty-directed ensemble (theatre, music or dance) at Furman University, Bob Jones University, Converse College, Wofford College, Anderson University, Clemson University, USC, or USC Upstate.  Note: no student-directed ensembles or exhibits qualify for CEVT credit.

5. The event/museum visit must be dated during the semester in which you are registered for CEVT 1000.

6. If you desire CEVT 1000 credit for an off campus event which is not covered by the above criteria you can fill out an Off Campus Event Request form. You will be notified by the Music, Theatre or Art departments with a response. If the event is approved you need to bring a copy of that approval email with the ticket and program to the CEVT office (M 8, lower floor of Turner). Submit this request 2 weeks in advance of the event date; failure to do so means you are not guaranteed CEVT 1000 credit. If you have any question about an event, use the form to be sure you get credit.

How to receive credit for an off campus approved event

            In order to receive credit for something you attended off campus you must submit proof of attendance to the CEVT office (M 8, lower floor of Turner). If you visited one of the approved museums you will bring a hard copy of the art museum experience form to the office. Be sure it is complete. If you attend a performance off campus that meets the criteria above you need to bring a copy of the ticket and program, with your full name on both, to the CEVT office.

All CEVT event credits are due the
last day of classes of every semester!
