An enrollment strategy. The musicians you aren't actively recruiting still show up on campus and raise the retention, graduation, and campus-culture metrics that matter — most of them as non-majors. CommonTime helps you recruit them on purpose, university-wide, the way you already recruit athletes.

Enrollment management, university-wide — not just the music department. Enrollment leaders set the strategy, arts administrators align the programs, and music faculty capture students in the field. (Pick your role above to see how.)

No. CommonTime sits before Slate, Salesforce, Acceptd, and the Common App and feeds them. It changes when and how you meet students — earlier, and with better signal — not how you process them.

Data flows one direction: student information flows to you. We don't read or import your Slate database or institutional data. If a school isn't a member, it simply can't see a student's name or contact information — which keeps procurement and IT review straightforward.

You can browse student profiles, message students directly, create recruiting events, and invite matched applicants to learn more about your program. The platform enables year-round, global engagement beyond traditional recruiting limitations.

Unlike traditional methods limited by travel budgets, audition seasons, and geographic constraints, CommonTime Pathways provides 24/7 access to a diverse, global pool of talented musicians. Students can discover and engage with your program year-round, not just during peak recruiting seasons. This is especially valuable for recruiting non-majors who want to continue their musical involvement in college – a group often overlooked by traditional music recruiting efforts.

Membership is tailored to your institution's size and goals. Book a call and we'll walk you through options and ROI.

By expanding your reach globally while reducing travel and traditional recruiting costs, most institutions see significant cost savings. More importantly, you gain access to a broader, more diverse pool of qualified candidates – including both music majors and talented non-majors who want to stay musical in college. All leading to stronger incoming classes and more vibrant campus musical communities.

Yes. CommonTime allows institutions to build meaningful relationships with prospective students early in their college search, including opportunities to encourage future applications through institution-approved application pledges and incentives where appropriate.
