Expert Tips

UNCG allows students to submit the prescreen and attend a Final Audition before applying to the university, but students seeking merit scholarship consideration should apply to UNCG by December 1, 2025.

Final Audition virtual spots are limited and reserved for students traveling great distances, so plan for an in-person campus day when possible.
