3.18.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
Students are directed to become familiar and to comply with the general
regulations of the University as described in 2.5 which apply to all students.
Additionally, students must comply with regulations which are particular
to Visual Arts programs.
Transfer Students: Students who have had art courses at other
post-secondary institutions and desire credit for basic courses in Visual
Arts must submit a portfolio of their own work for evaluation by the Visual
Arts faculty and an official transcript of their record, together with
catalogues describing the courses taken, all of which must be submitted
no later than two weeks before the first day of classes. Transfer students
who wish to receive art history credit for courses taken at other institutions
may be required to take a qualifying examination during the first week
of regularly scheduled classes. The examination will cover those art history
courses from which the student wishes to be exempted. For admission from
Sheridan or Fanshawe Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology, see 2.3.6.
Program Requirements
1) 28-114 and 28-115 must be taken in the first year.
2) The order in which 27-103 and 27-104 are taken is not significant;
however, they may not be taken concurrently.
3) Registration in any studio courses numbered in the 27-400's requires
a successful B.F.A. portfolio evaluation, completion of 18 studio courses
as well as any specific prerequisite course(s). Prior to registering in
400-level courses students must receive counselling in Visual Arts.
4) Each fourth-year B.F.A. student who has completed the portfolio evaluation
will be required to participate in the B.F.A. Candidates' Exhibit. The
selection of work to be exhibited is to be made with the approval of the
student's major instructor.
