Experience Student Life at °ÅÀÖÊÓƵ's Chicago College of Performing Arts!
Student Experience Days 2026
March 25 - April 24
During CCPA Experience Days, you will have the opportunity to join on-campus sessions, observe classes and rehearsals, and attend performances! All students and their families are welcome to attend multiple event days. Sessions are optional, and you can stay for any portion of the day/evening.
We have organized the dates and their offerings according to each conservatory, and then by program-type. If you would like to visit our campus outside of our scheduled dates, reach out to ccpaadmissions@roosevelt.edu and we can certainly set up an alternate visit day during the week!
