SUMMER MUSIC CAMPS - IMPORTANT CHANGES
In response to COVID-19 and in our continuing effort to protect public health, the University of North Texas and the College of Music have determined that NO 2020 SUMMER CAMPS WILL BE HELD IN A FACE-TO-FACE FORMAT.
Most camps will be fully cancelled while others will transition to electronic format. For updated camp information, see the information below.
If your camp has been cancelled, you will automatically be issued a refund, minus the Acceptd fee. The refunds will be processed by the end of day Friday, April 17, 2020. The exact date you will receive your refund will then be determined by your banking institution.
All eligible students will receive a credit for the Acceptd portion of the fee that can be used for next year's application to UNT Summer Camps & Workshops. These will be received via the Acceptd messaging system in the form of a Coupon Code within 10 business days. If you are not eligible to apply to UNT Summer Camps & Workshops next year and you wish to use this Coupon Code for a different organization in Acceptd's Network, please contact support@getacceptd.com and provide them your UNT Coupon Code as well as the name of the organization you wish to apply for with that Coupon Code.
Information regarding camps that will continue online will come directly from the individual camp coordinator.
