Admission Requirements

Start Semester and Deferral

A specific start semester is listed in an offer of admission.  If unforeseen circumstances arise, a student may request deferral of the admission for up to one year past the original start semester. A written request for deferral must be made to the Office of Music Admissions and Financial Aid and the request must be reviewed by the Jacobs School of Music Admissions and Recruitment Committee, which may approve or reject the request. 

Students who do not request a deferral and who do not matriculate in the original start semester must reapply and repeat entrance auditions and other requirements if wishing to enroll in a future semester. Students who are granted an approved deferral but who do not matriculate within one year of the original start semester must repeat entrance auditions and other admission requirements.
