FAQs for September Retreat

Why can’t I access the application site? The application site is available from December 1st until January 22nd each year. Please check back between those dates. 

Can I save my application as a draft and return to it? Yes. You must “submit” on the bottom of the application form. You will receive a confirmation email with a link to return to the application. Then you can continue to edit. Once you check the “complete” box, additional edits may not be viewed by the panelists, so wait to check this box until you are sure you are finished. 

Can I upload mp3s of recordings? No, please provide links to the recordings instead. This can be on youtube, soundclound, bandcamp, personal website, etc. Make sure that there is no password required to access and no downloading required. 

Does the Retreat accommodate food sensitivities/allergies? Yes. There are vegan options at every meal and all additional food needs are accommodated. 

Can I live off-campus? No. This is a residency program that is structured around close living quarters.
