Please note College of Music deadlines differ from those of UNT.

SPRING 2026 ADMISSION - Acceptance of spring applications is determined in mid-September based on studio space and ensemble needs for each area.  Email collegeofmusic@unt.edu in September to inquire if your area will accept applications. We encourage you to do this prior to submitting an application to UNT.  Applications for Spring 2026 admission consideration (if applicable) must be submitted on or before November 1st.

FALL 2026 ADMISSION - To be considered for a live audition/interview on the December audition date, applications must be submitted by November 1st.  To be considered for a live audition/interview on the January or February dates, preference will be given to applications received by December 1st. Applications received after that date will be reviewed, and auditions/interviews will be scheduled until all live spots are closed.

For areas that require an audition, you will be given the opportunity to submit a final video audition if all spots are full and closed by the time you apply. The final deadline to submit the music application and video auditions for most areas is February 15th.*

*Final deadline to submit video auditions/portfolios for Commercial Music, Critical Studies, Electronics, Jazz Studies, and Piano is February 1st.

The deadline for full-year and summers-only MMEd applicants is April 1st.
