Finally heard back from the university admissions office today. I went by there Tuesday and was told I needed to accept their admission offer (which included submitting a hefty, non-refundable (natch!) deposit) before they'd even consider my deferral request. I went through those steps, sent them their money, then requested a deferral from the admissions officer in charge of such things. I finally heard back this afternoon that they don't grant deferrals just so you can complete a degree elsewhere. Never mind that when I submitted my application way back last July, I didn't know how close I was to an A.A., and no word of acknowledgement of how hard it is to get hold of a real person to give you a straight answer. Harrumph! However, given the glorious facility that is their performing arts space, and the wealth of wonderful-sounding course offerings, I'm not too broken up. I just have to shift mental gears, from "community college" to "university". And to think of the hoops I jumped through to test outta that computer literacy class. Oh well.
I also heard back about my prescreening audition for the School of Music. I was not surprised to learn that I wasn't invited for an in-person audition, given all the vocal problems I was still recovering from when I had to do the recording. No matter; this just gives me that much more time to select and work on audition pieces for the Fall 2017 cycle.
So no, they didn't cooperate with my plans, but in January I get to start sinking my teeth into their banquet of "Theatre" offerings, so yay!
