The University of the Arts Admissions
Have a question? Go ahead, ask!
We also really like submissions, so if you're a student or alum, show us what you're working on!
We really like to follow UArts alums and students, but if you'd like us to unfollow your tumblr, just ask. If we re-blog your work in some form and it was not attributed, drop us a note in the ask box and we'll correct it.

First: Submit your application, making use of our application checklist.

On-the-spot acceptance may be offered to applicants who show an acceptable portfolio, provided all application materials have been received at least two weeks prior to review, and who meet all UArts’ admission criteria.

That’s a broad question! Let’s start with our portfolio and audition requirements. Please feel free to ask follow-up questions.

Hello! While there is a SlideRoom portal for graduate students, there is not a SlideRoom portal for undergraduate applicants to submit their portfolios online. A fee is required of applicants using SlideRoom, so if an undergraduate applicant is unable to participate in an in-person portfolio review, we recommend free hosting services like carbonmade for images and YouTube or Vimeo for videos. Upon uploading, please send your online portfolio’s direct link to admissions@uarts.edu. Applicants may also submit portfolios electronically through the mail, using a CD-ROM, DVD or USB flash drive.
Additional information about portfolio (and audition) requirements can be found here.
Portfolio Reviews & Auditions
Saturday, January 26, 2013
So, what do parents do while their child is auditioning or having a portfolio review? Presentations are made by Admissions and Student Financial Services (SFS) staff, after which parents can find out if their child’s application file is complete or what materials are still outstanding. Bagels, coffee and tea are available throughout the day. Here, Aisha and Dan, Admission Counselors, and Stephanie, SFS Counselor, field individual questions in Solmssen Court while a group of brave parents at the top of the stairs prepare to face Philly’s cold temperatures on a campus tour.
More Saturday portfolio review and audition dates coming up! Get your application in and get on our schedule.

Once ALL application requirements have been fulfilled, decisions are usually received within 3–4 weeks. You may also check with your admissions counselor or email the office at admissions@uarts.edu to find out the status of your application.
