Once you have submitted your UNT application, you also will need to complete the College of Music online application before you can schedule your audition.* Auditioning in person will allow you to meet with faculty and learn more about the student experience at the College of Music. Although live auditions are preferred, you also can submit a high-quality video audition through the music application online.

*To be considered for admission in the fall semester, preference will be given to applications received by the first Monday in December. Applications received after that date will be reviewed, and auditions will be scheduled on a case-by-case basis depending on space availability.
