Woah, these are two very different majors! But anyway, it's definitely possible! I would contact an academic advisor in the associate dean of science's office (BSB 129) to see what steps you must take and such! You can also try contacting anyone in the music department to ask about their requirements and whatnot. Don't panic, just try and get in touch with someone to guide you through the process as soon as possible!

Haha, oh no judgement at all. It's actually courageous and amazing that you're switching into what you truly want to do! I believe the last official day of work is tomorrow before the university is officially closed on the 25th. I would try and call them or email them tomorrow just so you're not wondering and anxious waiting for the rest of the break!

I think it's possible. One of my buddies was in 2nd year commerce and didn't have a great average when she applied to music. She got in... I think the audition is more important than marks! Go see the school of the arts.
