PERMISSION OF DEPARTMENT (POD) PROCEDURE FOR DANCE TECHNIQUE CLASSES:

Students wishing to enroll in a DANC technique class that requires Permission of Department (POD), including prospective majors and minors who have not yet completed a department audition, must participate in the placement audition held in August just prior to the first day of fall semester classes.  Students who are placed above PEDB  Introductory dance classes and DANC Foundation levels will be given a POD access clearance to enroll in the class prior to the first day.  Once cleared, the student is responsible for enrolling in the course(s) during drop/add.  Introductory/Foundation level courses do not require a clearance, however, some level II Foundation courses may require a pre-requisite override which will be provided as well.

Please note, this placement audition is open only to those enrolled for the Fall semester and will be the only one for the year.  Your placement will be good for the academic year, but you will need to contact the department to obtain a POD clearance for spring semester.  Priority will be given to intended dance majors and minors.  Please submit the audition application form at least one week prior to the audition date.

Fall 2026 Placement Audition will be held on Thursday, August 13, 2026 at 2:00 p.m.
