DEADLINES
Tour dates can be booked year round at SPAO, but interviews and portfolio reviews are generally limited (with some exceptions) to slots on specific dates.
Enrollment is limited due to SPAO’s small class sizes, so it is best to begin the application process in the fall preceding or at the beginning of the year for which you desire admission.
When all available spaces have been allotted, interviews continue for the waiting list and for admission to the following academic year.
Students currently enrolled in Level 1 Photographic Foundations of the SPAO Portfolio Program, and seeking admittance to Level 2 Portfolio Development should consult the Transition Timetable.
