9:30-9:45           Check in for Students presenting Design and Production Portfolios
10:00-10:15      Check in for Students visiting College Fair only (no audition or portfolio) 
1:00-1:15           Check in for Auditioning Students, Afternoon Group

Auditioning Students:
You’ll have orientation when you arrive, to review audition protocols and answer any questions you have. Next, you’ll go to a warm-up room and get ready for your audition. After auditions, you’ll have plenty of time to meet with the representatives from all the colleges and some schools will even post “callbacks” which indicates they definitely want to meet you. Callback or not, we recommend visiting with every school. Parents – you can also talk with all of the college representatives! Parents may join their students for orientation and College Fair visits but are not permitted in the warm-up or audition room. Learn more about College Day auditions.

If you are in the afternoon arrival/audition group – don’t worry, you will have plenty of time to meet with colleges! Your warm-up and audition will take 1 hour, so you’ll still have several hours to spend at the College Fair. 

Students Presenting Design and Production Portfolios:  
Upon arrival, we’ll direct you to the Portfolio Review room to set up your display. Parents can tag along and help with set-up. There will be a brief orientation to answer any questions and then the college representatives will start chatting with you about your work! While students are sharing their portfolios with college faculty, parents can visit the College Fair. After lunch, everyone will have a chance to visit the College Fair. Make sure you talk with all the schools! Learn more about College Day portfolio presentations.

Students Visiting the College Fair (no audition or portfolio):
You’ll be greeted by a member of our team who will review the campus map with you and answer any questions. Then you’re off to the College Fair! Visit with all the schools, come prepared with questions, and get ready for lots of great information. After lunch, you can return to wrap up your visits or head home if you’ve already met with all the schools.
