While pre-screening materials are required for all applicants, not all applicants will be invited to audition or interview. In some cases, successful applicants will receive a final admission decision based solely off their pre-screening and application review, while other applicants may be asked to complete an additional audition and/or interview. Applicants invited to audition and/or interview with faculty will be notified by the CCM Admissions Office staff in January and applicants will have until January 23 at 12:00pm EST to select their preferred date and time. Those who wait to schedule their audition/interview after the deadline OR request to change their already scheduled date will be charged a $100 fee. Exceptions include travel restrictions due to challenging weather, illness, or death in family. Auditions and interviews will be held in February. Check our website regularly for updates.
All CCM programs require the submission of pre-screening materials in order to be considered for admission. Faculty will review application and pre-screening materials to make admission decisions and audition/interview requests.
