The performance concentrations (Acting, Physical Theatre, Musical Theatre) require a pre-screen audition (through getacceptd) prior to being invited to an on-campus final audition. 
The Design and Production concentration should enter their portfolio and information for pre-screening (through getacceptd) prior to receiving an invitation for an on-campus interview.
