STEP4: Two weeks after the audition cycle ends, you will receive notice from the Department of Theatre and Dance of your audition results (Pass or No Pass). The Dance Program will send its recommendation to the CSUF Office of Admissions with students audition results -“Pass” or “No Pass.” 

STEP 5: If you “PASS” the audition, and meet all CSUF admission requirements, the University will send you an official notice of acceptance. In that correspondence, you will receive instructions on how to accept admission to CSUF. 

STEP 6: If you did “NOT PASS” the audition, you will not be recommended for admission to the B.A. in Dance; but your application will default to the alternate major selected when applying to CSUF. The University will evaluate whether you meet the admission criteria for that alternate major and will send you notice if you are accepted to CSUF.

IMPORTANT: University communications will be sent to your campus email and that is the university’s only method used. The University will be contacting you through your portal and campus email, so please check regularly.
