Definitions

Exemption: An exemption automatically excuses an applicant from the requirement to provide a test score as proof of English language proficiency. The exemption is based on the applicant meeting specific criteria when completing the application. Applicants who are exempt from the requirement to provide an ELP test score are also exempt from the interview requirement.

Waiver: A waiver excuses an applicant from the requirement to provide a test score as proof of English language proficiency. Waivers are granted by Juilliard upon request of the applicant when completing the application, and following a review by the School's Director of ESL of the materials submitted by the applicant in support of their request for a waiver. Applicants whose test scores are waived are still required to interview with the School's Director of ESL.
