** PLEASE NOTE- the instructions on "How to Apply" are different depending upon the semester to which you are applying. Please refer to the appropriate "Steps for Applying" page. **

Students applying for admission to fall 2010, please carefully note the following:

1. December 1 is the application deadline for ALL applicants (Freshman, Transfer, and Graduate) applying to Thornton programs. This is NOT a postmark deadline. The USC Online Application and all required materials must be received by this date in order to be given full consideration.
2. Some Thornton programs will require applicants to submit a recording to be pre-screened by the faculty. Please see the Application Requirements section of this Web site for specific requirements for these recordings. Applicants to programs requiring this pre-screen might not be invited to perform a live audition based on the results of the pre-screen.
