Any information on pre-screens would be appreciated. I could not find an updated page on CCU site for prescreen deadlines and current audition dates. I am not sure D’s audition material will be ready to submit video next month, is that when they are due? I do not want to submit until she feels it is ready. Thank you.
I am sorry. We are in the middle of a major website redevelopment and as a consequence we haven’t (I haven’t) been keeping up with updates on the old one. Our pre-screen cutoff isn’t until February, so no worries. We’ll open the submission site in two weeks or so. We do have audition dates chosen, but alas, I am on vacation and just don’t have the information at my fingertips. One the second week of November (great one to attend, always small, always fun), One very late January, two in February. I promise to post exact dates as soon as I return to campus. We are also in Chicago during unifieds. Please ask any questions, there are lots of folks who will answer for CCU. Thanks!
@kjgc Thank you for the info!! Relieved we have more time for pre-screens,still trying to figure this whole process out.
CCU is now accepting pre-screens via Acceptd.

Hello! CCU just got on my radar and I’m super excited to add them to my list. I have a couple of questions, however. Is their prescreen a typical prescreen in which a candidate either passes or doesn’t? It’s not very clear on the website. Also I have a pretty booked unifieds schedule and I cannot fly all the way to campus for an audition. Is there a video submission option?
It is a typical pre screen for the program via get accepted. You either pass or don’t, and it is required for attending an audition- on campus or in Chicago.
However, we do not require students to set aside a large block of time at Chicago Unifieds, just a 10 minute audition slot. I would recommend trying to fit CCU in there if you can’t travel on campus. 
I have seen video submissions be accepted, but as our pool of auditions grows bigger and bigger by the minute, it would be very hard to accept someone off a video, especially after spending 9 hours with other students at the on campus auditions.
Thank you! I’ll do my best to schedule it during Chicago Unifieds!
The professors are notorious for managing to see walk ins as well, so if nothing else works out- always stop by the room and check!
