A few off the top of my head:

Two Mexican Dances, Gordon Stout - 4.0
Dream of the Cherry blossoms, Keiko Abe - I think it's 5.0, with options for playing on a 4.3
Concertino for Marimba, Paul Creston - 3.5
Sea Refractions, Mitchell Peters - definitely no more than a 4.3
Tambourin Chinois, Fritz kresiler - 3.5 (at least, the George Green arrangement)
Monograph IV, Richard Gripson - 4.0 or 4.3
Rhythm Song, Paul Smadbeck - 4.3
Etudes I, II, III, Paul Smadbeck - I believe they fit a 4.3
Michi, Keiko Abe - 4.3
Frogs, Keiko Abe - 4.0

And abit harder level:

Astral Dance, Gordon Stout - originally done for a 4.5, not sure of the current edition
Modern Japanese Marimba Pieces, Vol. 1+2, Keiko Abe(ed.) - 4.3
Etude for a Quiet Hall, Chrsitopher Deane - 4.3
Footpath, Dave Samuels - 4.3
Suite for Marimba, Fissinger - 3.5
Two movements for marimba, Tanaka - 4.3 (IIRC)
Variations on Lost Love, David Maslanka - 4.3

Not to be negative, but...while we here at the forum are glad to help, I'm curious why your teacher at University doesn't have some of this information. Many of these pieces have been standard marimba literature for decades.
