Policies & Processes
Academic Year
The Academic Calendar will be made available to prospective students.
Pre-Course Counselling
Audition Process
Prospective students perform two contrasting pieces of up to 15 mins (depending on programme) and two online tests concerning music theory and sight-singing/reading. Thereafter, a panel of academic specialists evaluate the performance of prospective students using a standard audition assessment form. The form will then be submitted to HGA administration. Final approval lies with the school management.
Admission Process
If a prospect is deemed unsuitable, the Registrar informs them and expresses gratitude for their interest in a rejection letter.
For qualified prospects, the Registrar notifies them of their acceptance to the school and programme of study by providing a Conditional Offer Letter (COL) with an attached Acceptance Form. Additionally, the registrar lists the documents that must be presented for verification.
Students send the signed Acceptance Form to the registrar with the relevant documentation to confirm their admission to the College and programme of study. HGA then authenticates the documents. If all papers are valid and in order, the Registrar verifies the students’ placement by providing them a letter titled Confirmation of Acceptance of Study (CAS). If the school discovers that the applicant’s documents are defective, the school terminates the applicant’s application.
Upon receipt of signed CAS forms and tuition fees, the student will sign the Advisory Note and the Standard Student Contract. HGA then enrols students in their chosen course of study by putting their information into the student registration system.
