First, make sure you apply to the University of Utah. You’ll need to be accepted to both the U and your BFA program in order to enroll in the required courses.

We strongly recommend that you apply to the U by December 1. Students who apply to the University of Utah by December 1 are eligible for exceptional benefits, including the following:

• automatic consideration for all university merit-based scholarships

• automatic consideration for the For Utah scholarship if you submit your FAFSA by February 1 (UT residents only)

• discounted tuition for non-resident students from participating states and territories through the Western Undergraduate Exchange

Prospective Freshman Guide

In the next step, we’ll provide a short list of application materials we need from you. If you are auditioning for the ATP or MTP, we’ll also give you the guidelines and requirements for your audition.

Please note: you’l be asked to submit your application materials when you schedule your audition or interview.. Make sure you have them prepared before moving on to the next step.

Once your application materials are prepared, you can schedule your audition or interview.

• ATP & MTP Applicants: Before scheduling your audition, you will need to register and pay your $30 audition fee.* Once we have processed your payment, you’ll receive an access code for our scheduling system.
  

• PADP, SM, & TT applicants: proceed directly to scheduling.
  

*Audition fees are non-refundable. You can request a fee waiver for any reason by emailing us at recruitment@theatre.utah.edu. Although we rely on audition fees to subsidize recruitment costs, we don’t want fees to be an obstacle for any student who wishes to audition.

After you complete your audition or interview, watch your inbox for notifications from the university and the Department of Theatre. Read them carefully, since they’ll contain instructions for confirming enrollment and declaring your major.

Remember, you can only declare a major in a BFA program if you’ve been accepted to both the university and your desired BFA program. Until you declare your major, you will not be able to enroll in courses for that program.
