University of Colorado Denver

• To register for an ensemble, students must be given permission numbers from the ensemble director. The permission number can be used only once and cannot be shared with other students. UCDAccess will require the permission number before the ensemble will be added to the student’s schedule.
• Students will not be able to register directly for ensemble in UCDAccess without permission from the ensemble director. Students can obtain permission from the ensemble director ONLY, regardless of whether the ensemble requires an audition. Students who do not attend the first ensemble class meeting will not be eligible to register for that particular ensemble.
• Most ensembles require an audition, and audition expectations vary by ensemble. Students should contact the instructor of the ensemble to inquire about audition requirements. Descriptions of each ensemble including level of difficulty, instruments, requirements, and director contact information can be found at http://cam.ucdenver.edu/meis > Ensemble Information
• Ensemble auditions will be held during the first week of classes. Auditions will typically be held during the normal class meeting time during that week. A complete schedule will be posted in the CAM Advising Office (AR 177), the MEIS Office (AR 288), as well as distributed via email to all MEIS students at their university email address.
