Music Applicants – Important Information

All prospective music applicants who have applied to UTampa will be required to complete the Music Intent Form located inside their SpartanStart portal. Applicants will receive access to this portal once they have successfully submitted an admissions application. Current students and students who have not yet applied may schedule an audition by filling out the Music Interest Form.

Music technology program applicants are not required to audition, unless auditioning for a music scholarship. However, music technology applicants will still need to complete the Music Intent Form in their SpartanStart portal when they apply, or fill out the Music Interest Form, for program confirmation purposes.
