Eligibility

You must be eligible to enroll in classes at The University of Texas at Austin in order to take courses offered by UTEMS. Enrollment is limited and written permission of the instructor is required. Priority for UTEMS courses is first given to music composition majors, then to students who must take these classes in order to fulfill degree requirements, and finally to other students on a first come, first served basis. Auditing is not possible, due to the high demand for all UTEMS courses and the limited classroom space.
