Apply
The Creative Supplement allows you to demonstrate your artistic talent as part of
the application process. If you are applying to a program within a college or department
below, you must submit a Creative Supplement for review by the department and faculty:
College of Performing Arts
Dodge College of Film and Media Arts
Department of Art (excluding Art History)
Every department and program has unique Creative Supplement requirements. Please review
all instructions thoroughly.
Although not required at the point of application, please be prepared to submit a
Creative Supplement for your second-choice major if requested.
The Creative Supplement is for prospective first-year and transfer students only.
Submission instructions
You must submit your Creative Supplement within your Application Status Page. You
will gain access to your Application Status Page within 24-48 hours after submitting
your Common App.
To ensure you turn in your Creative Supplement before the deadline, you should submit
your Common App several days before all materials are due.
If you are having difficulty uploading your Creative Supplement, please review our
Creative Supplement Upload Tips
We also recommend students whose major requires a Creative Supplement to submit two
letters of recommendation through the Common App. One letter should be from someone
that can speak to your creative abilities. While this isn't required, it is highly
encouraged.
