ADMISSION PROCESS

Thank you for your interest in University High School. University High School is committed to equity in its admissions process, and it is also required by state regulations to utilize a lottery to determine admission if more applications are received than the Charter School has the capacity. Aside from residency in the state, there is one requirement for a student to meet: applicants must have two years of prior musical experience.

All UHS students will take classes in music theory and be enrolled in musical ensembles for four years. Therefore, applicants should have a strong interest in vocal or instrumental music.

University High School traditionally accepts incoming 9th graders who apply in their 8th-grade year. Depending on our current class capacity, UHS also accepts transfer students who wish to enter UHS in their 10th, 11th, and 12th-grade year. University High School suggests all interested parents and students come to our informational days in the Fall and Winter. If you think we are the right school for you, please apply and join us.
