Next Steps

Now that you’ve auditioned, here are some important

Next Steps

  • If you have not already done so, apply to the University of Utah at admissions.utah.edu/apply.

  • Once you have been admitted to the University*, you will:

    1. Pay your enrollment deposit: admissions.utah.edu

    2. Apply for on-campus housing** through your University CIS account (one option to consider is the Arts Floor, which is a community of artists living together): housing.utah.edu

    3. Register for Orientation: orientation.utah.edu

    *Admissions to the University does not mean that you have been accepted to the College of Fine Arts performing arts area in which you auditioned. You will be contacted directly by the School of Dance with the results of your audition.

    **If you are interested in off-campus housing, you can check out: https://www.offcampushousing.utah.edu/listing

  • You will first meet your academic advisor at Orientation, where we will assist you in registering for your first-term classes. Orientations take place during the summer before classes begin in the Fall.

  • We encourage students in the College of Fine Arts to meet with an academic advisor each term to discuss your academic goals and educational opportunities. Incoming freshmen are required to meet with an academic advisor during their first term as part of the University’s Mandatory Advising Program. To schedule an advising appointment, please visit: createsuccess.utah.edu.

Who Are Academic Advisors?

Academic advisors are educators and problem solvers who advocate for students as they navigate their personal journeys through higher education and attain their academic goals. Through inclusion and connection, academic advisors open doors to new opportunities for self-awareness and growth, empowering students to define their roles as citizens within local and global communities. Academic Advising helps you to know your stuff, know what to do early and what to do often. To book an academic advising appointment, visit createsuccess.utah.edu or email advisor@finearts.utah.edu.

As a potential student in the College of Fine Arts, you have many people to support you. As College of Fine Arts academic advisors, we can create success where you study at the U:

  • Learn about the course requirements for your major and University graduation requirements, including general education and bachelor’s degree requirements

  • Connect with departmental opportunities and resources

  • Connect with University opportunities and resources, including other majors and minors that might interest you

  • Navigate University and departmental polices and procedures, including your student rights

Your Rights as a Student

Your educational record is an important part of your education. Once you are an enrolled student, the rights granted to you by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) means that the advisor cannot discuss your educational record, including grades or your transcript with any third-party outside of the University without your consent.
