Entry Process Information

ArtQuest (AQ) begins accepting packets to admit new students in October for the next Fall admission. Early entry is highly recommended. Late entries may adversely affect AQ admission, availability of AQ specialty, AQ core and other classes, timely registration, transfers, participation in orientation etc. Please avoid late entry and delayed decisions if at all possible. Forms are not processed/reviewed during school holidays, breaks or summer vacation.

• Priority Entry: Priority Entry Packets are due in the Fall for a decision in January. 
  
• Regular  Entry: Entrants who submit by the regular admission deadline will receive a decision  by the end of the school year. 
  
• Late Entry: Although AQ accepts entries on a rolling basis, entrants who apply after the Regular Admission deadline date often will not have an acceptance decision in time to attend the AQ Priority Registration in the early Spring and, depending on how late a entry is received, applicants may not have an acceptance decision until the AQ staff returns to school in the Fall.
  
• Entry Packet Forms: Submit all Entry Packet materials simultaneously, either in person at the SRHS Main Office, open school days 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Attention, Jan Sofie, AQ DIrector OR by mail to ArtQuest at SRHS, 1235 Mendocino Ave., Santa Rosa, CA 95401. Do not insert  materials into a notebook, folder etc; just paper clip together. Portfolios may be submitted in portfolio cases, however. Entries with missing parts are considered incomplete and will not be processed until complete.  
  
• Portfolios and Auditions: Specific requirements and timelines are described in detail in the attached “Portfolio/Audition Information” pages, where you will also find Arts Specialty instructors’ contact phones and e-mail addresses.  Please contact the appropriate arts specialty instructor directly with other questions pertaining to Portfolios or Auditions.
• Transfer Procedures: Transfer procedures are described on the “SRHS Enrollment & Transfer Information” page of this Packet.  If you do not live in the Santa Rosa High School attendance boundaries, you must carefully follow the instructions for transfers and cannot attend ArtQuest unless your transfer to SRHS is approved. Late entry may impact your transfer being approved.
