Step 2: Create an Embark Account

Performance Major/Minor Only

Registrations in Embark are now only necessary for applicants registering for a place in Performance. Performance applicants must create an account in Embark to register for an audition. If you have a problem creating an Embark account or uploading issues, please contact the Embark Helpdesk in the first instance.

Performance Auditions 

To be accepted into the Performance Major or Minor you will need to pass audition. Please note that this does not replace the ANU application process (see step 1). All students who successfully audition will be automatically considered for relevant scholarships. When applying for an ANU Bachelor degree program, you may be eligible to receive performance-based adjustments of up to 5 points. More information can be found here.

You will attend a live audition (preferred) OR submit a digital audition, both of which must be prepared as per the Auditions Guide 

ANU Direct applicants (year 12 students) have the option of submitting a digital audition in July or November 2023, or can attend a live audition in November 2023. 

Our team will endeavour to send audition outcome letters as soon as practicable.
