Placement Auditions
It is important that you attend your HJS orientation and complete your placement audition so that we can finalize your class schedule. Your placement audition date, time, and location have been sent to your Berklee.edu email address. Please contact your advisor, Jeff Williams, if you have not received this information. Learn more about how to prepare for your placement audition. (Please note: Your placement audition scheduling process is different from the full-time Berklee undergraduate student process.)

Technology Requirements for Joint Studies Students
As part of the Harvard-Berklee Joint Studies program, you may need to meet specific technology requirements depending on your curriculum here at Berklee. You do, however, have the option to purchase a technology package from Berklee.
These packages are available to all joint studies students. You can purchase them from the Technology Service Desk with a Visa or Mastercard.
