  1. UC 10097 is not required of transfer students with 25 credits (excluding College Credit Plus) or students age 21+ at time of admission.
  2. No upper-division ARTF or ARTC course may be taken without successfully completing ART 30001 Common Review. At the completion of the following courses (ARTF 14000, ARTF 14001, ART 10022, ART 10023, ART 20024, ARTH 22007 and two of the four foundations electives), students register for ART 30001 and submit a portfolio of representative studio work selected from these courses to a studio arts faculty committee for review. An examination of knowledge of art history also will be included. Incoming transfer students are expected to provide examples of foundational coursework equivalent to School of Art requirements for ART 30001 Common Review. The review is a formative assessment of the student's foundations work including a digital portfolio, installation of sampling of works and proficiency in written and oral critical thinking.
  3. A minimum C grade must be earned to fulfill the writing-intensive requirement.
  4. A maximum of 6 credit hours of ARTF 44092 Field Experience Travel Study Fine Arts may be applied toward the 15 credit hours of upper-division ARTF or ARTC electives. Students may apply this course toward fulfilling general electives, with no maximum credit hours required. ARTF 44092 also fulfills the experiential learning requirement.
  5. Number of credits required depends on meeting minimum 120 credit hours and minimum 39 upper-division credit hours.
