Why can't I upload my audition before paying tuition?
The way our system works, our application must go in stages (as described above). Stage one is the initial application; stage two is the tuition payment; stage three is the audition upload. Tuition and audition have the same deadline, so feel free to record your audition any time and just save your media files until you are ready to pay tuition.
I don't see where to enter my discount or scholarship code
If you were given a code to enter for an early application discount or scholarship, the opportunity to enter your code will appear in the very final dialogue box, where you are asked to enter your card information. This may be a step later than expected, but you don't worry - it will be there before you enter payment details.
I CAN'T FIND MY CHILD'S APPLICATION
If you can't find your child's application, the likelihood is that you are logged in using a different email address than the one used for the application. Try logging in using your child's email address. This confusion can be avoided by making sure to create a parent account when starting the application by choosing "I am applying for someone else."
error message says the deadline has passed
If you are trying to apply before the deadline and receive an error message stating that the deadline has passed, it means that your program is full. This is a quirk of the wording in our system, but you will only receive this if your program (instrument) is at capacity and unable to accept more applications.
How can apply for multiple siblings under the same account?
Make sure to create a parent account before you begin the application by selecting "I am applying for someone else." This will allow you to create multiple applications for siblings under the same account.
If you have any technical difficulties with your application, please reach out to the Acceptd Help Desk.
