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.

Who’s excited about Open House on Saturday?! #UArtsOH
We are pleased to announce that in addition to weekday portfolio reviews, department faculty members and admission counselors will be on campus from 9 am – 12 pm on the following Saturdays to review portfolios:
January 26 | February 16 | March 2 | March 23 | April 20
First: Submit your application, making use of our application checklist.
Then: Schedule your review by contacting the Office of Admission at admissions@uarts.edu or 215‑717‑6049.
Saturday portfolio reviews require a previously submitted application. If you’d like a preliminary review, schedule an appointment between 10 am – 3 pm on a Monday or Friday.
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.
Please note there are no tours of the campus available on Saturdays. If you would like a tour, please call the Office of Admission to schedule during the week.

The FAFSA is not required for the application, so you will receive a decision without having submitted the FAFSA.
We encourage every applicant’s family to complete the FAFSA, as there may be loans or grants available that they qualify for. In addition, the FAFSA determines eligibility for the Federal Work Study program, and having Federal Work Study makes finding a job on campus easier. The University of the Arts’ postmark deadline for submission of the FAFSA is March 1, but the earlier the better. Incoming students are considered on a rolling, funds-available basis after the March 1 deadline. The UArts Title IV Code is 003350.

Decisions come about 3–4 weeks after all required application materials have been received. International students receive decisions by email. Feel free to contact admissions@uarts.edu to inquire about your application status. Good luck!

That’s a broad question! Let’s start with our portfolio and audition requirements. Please feel free to ask follow-up questions.
It’s not only UArts students and faculty who are talented. We’re celebrating the creativity of the staff with an exhibition and performance. Participating Admission Counselors are Arjan, with hand-embroidered paper towels (left) and LeighAnn, with encaustic paintings (right). The show is on view in Hamilton Hall until February 22nd.
