Everyone who auditions for a lab class will be notified of the results this summer. Students approved for Lab Classes must still register for the class each term. Note that auditioning does not guarantee you a spot in a Lab Class.
Students currently enrolled in Lab Classes are also strongly encouraged to audition, to receive a one-on-one evaluation with your TAs and it is great practice as an artist.
