Audition Procedures:

The College of Music will begin accepting applications on August 4. The priority deadline to submit the College of Music Application is December 1. Because of the volume of applicants, please plan to apply as early as possible. The College of Music will continue to accept applications after December 1 as long as openings are still available for your intended area of study. Since audition schedules fill quickly, requests for a specific audition date that are received after December 1 may not be honored. Also, please know that some areas may close on a specific date. Click here for a complete list of deadlines and closures. Please allow two to three weeks to process your application. Errors in submission of your application may result in significant delays in processing and the subsequent scheduling of your requested audition date. Applicants will receive a preliminary confirmation following submission of the College of Music Supplemental Application and request for an audition within two to three weeks. Please do not make travel arrangements until this confirmation is received. Applicants will be notified of their specific audition time two weeks prior to the audition date requested. Please note calendar concerns before requesting an audition. Every effort will be made to grant the requested audition date. Applicants should plan to be available from 8:00 am - 6:00 pm of the intended audition date.

To be admitted to the College of Music, applicants must meet minimum standards in applied music through the admissions audition, and meet the academic requirements of the University. If a live audition cannot be arranged, recorded auditions are acceptable for admission, but acceptance into a performance degree program may be re-affirmed by a live audition at the time the student enters the College of Music. Guitar, jazz, percussion, organ, voice and harpsichord students in particular are strongly recommended to audition in person; recorded auditions are not acceptable for Music Theatre applicants. Recorded auditions must be submitted by December 1.
