Fall 2023 Applicants:
We encourage all applicants, if at all possible, to audition in-person. All applicants (except SRT non-performance and PAM Bachelor of Science) must perform an audition, regardless of format, in order to be considered.
- Live audition dates are scheduled during the weekends in February. You can use the links below to sign up.
- Recorded video auditions are available by request and must be submitted by February 1 to your Blue Demon Domain (for undergraduates) or your application portal (for graduates/post-masters), in the “edit portfolio" section. To enable the recorded audition submission, you may submit a request form for an exemption to upload a recorded audition.
Audition requirements vary slightly depending upon the degree an applicant is seeking. Please see your specific instrument's requirements.
