| How are the Dance auditions structured? | The York U Dance Auditions take place throughout a full morning and are normally made up a few different activities. There is a welcome reception for students and parents, a warmup session for the auditioning students, an observation class or demonstration (where prospective students can watch current students dance), the audition class (all the students auditioning that day participate in a class as a group for a number of faculty assessors), and then a Q&A session. Auditioning students do not need to prepare solos or anything in advance, they are simply asked to participate in the various activities and styles during the class. |
| How do I add a course that is restricted or reserved? | Undergraduate students can request enrolment into a course that requires departmental permission by completing the MachForm at ampd.yorku.ca/permission This form may be used up until the last date to add a course without permission (refer to registrar.yorku.ca/enrol/dates under Add/Drop Deadlines to find the dates for the current academic term). After such time, students need permission of the instructor to add a course. AMPD Departments handle these permissions differently and it is best to ask the Department for advice or to get copies of the required paperwork (if by voicemail or email, always include your full name, student number, the course code and instructors name) |
| How do I add a Minor in Dance to my degree? | If your degree allows options for a minor, you're welcome to add a Dance Minor to your current degree program. There is no audition process for the Minor, so you can simply request a program change on the Registrar's Office website: http://myacademicrecord.students.yorku.ca/program-change More information about Double Major and Minor combinations across York University can be found at https://futurestudents.yorku.ca/majors-minors |

| What are the Dance streams? | Following the common first-year experience, students complete their studies in one of the two specialized streams. In April, faculty assist first-year BFA students in making the stream choice by assessing area strengths demonstrated during the first two academic terms of study (i.e., Fall/Winter).

| What does guaranteed consideration mean? Can I apply or complete my audition/interview/portfolio review after the deadline? | Anyone who completes their application before the deadlines listed for their application cycle will have their application reviewed.

| What is a 1900 course and why is there no scheduled time? | Six credits from the AMPD 1900 3.00 series of courses, outside the major, are required of all School of the Arts, Media, Performance & Design degrees. These courses may be used toward satisfying the humanities general education requirement, the in/out requirements or an AMPD elective. For students admitted to the School of the Arts, Media, Performance & Design with a minimum of 54 transfer credits, the six credits from the 1900 3.00 series of courses outside the major are optional. Only courses with FA/_ _ _ _ 1900 in the course code fulfill this requirement. You can find them in the York University Courses website by searching School of the Arts, Music, Performance & Design, the Department and 1900 under 'Faculty, Subject and Number.' Some 1900 courses such as Dance have online lectures so when you add them to your schedule there won't be a scheduled time for class but there may still be a scheduled tutorial. |

| Why does Dance 1400 not have a regular scheduled class time? | Answer Dance 1400 is a studio course intended for those who do not have a background in dance. This course has no 'class' (lecture) component so you only need to attend your scheduled lab. |
