CVAD gives direct equivalencies for Drawing I (ART 1500), Design II (ART 1450, which is 3-D Design), Art History Survey I (ART 2350), and Art History Survey II (ART 2360) with a score of 4 or higher. All other Art AP credit will be counted as art electives.
Since student work from Drawing I is regularly used in portfolios for admission to competitive BFA degrees, it is always better to take the course at CVAD or have your portfolio or work from Drawing I reviewed by faculty.
Any visual arts courses other than those in the "ART Core" must be approved by faculty for transfer equivalency. Students must see an advisor regarding equivalency.
For questions regarding non-CVAD academic core transfer credit, please see an advisor in the Advising Office, room 111.
Courses at the 3000 or 4000 level are considered advanced and are not available at the community college.
There is no limit to how many overall credit hours a student can transfer in; however, for art degrees, a student must complete 12 art classes (36 hours) at UNT to get a UNT degree. As the BFA degree require portfolio reviews for entry, not all courses may be accepted for credit toward the major or degree requirements.
This indicates that the course did not come in as a direct equivalent; however, it can still be used for degree credit in many cases and students will need to see an academic advisor to see how those classes may count.
No. Information regarding the portfolio process for each program can be found on the back of the curriculum sheets and on the CVAD website, www.art.unt.edu.
No, CVAD will not accept AP credit for Design I. The student will receive elective credit and will be required to take the class (ART 1440).
UNT accepts most academic core classes with appropriate AP scores. Contact the Registrar's Office at (940) 565-2111 for information regarding minimum scores needed for AP credit for the UNT Academic Core.
A grade of "C" or better is required for the two English composition courses. If a student makes a "D" the course must be repeated.
A grade of "C" or better is required for SoVA classes that will apply to the major for graduation or Portfolio Review credit.
A grade of "C" or better is required if a student minors in a Foreign Language; otherwise, a "D" is passing.
A "D" is considered passing in everything for the UNT academic core (BIOL, HIST, MATH, etc) except the two English composition courses where a "C" or better is required.
Students applying for graduation must go to the Registrar's Office at the beginning of the semester in which they want to graduate and obtain their graduation packet, order transcripts (the Registrar has them), fill out their cards and return the packet to the Advising Office in ART 111.
Students interested in Study Abroad should check with the Study Abroad Office in Kendall Hall, room 115. Phone number: (940) 565-2207.
All academic core requirements may be taken at a community college. The Understanding the Human Community requirement may be satisfied by taking a 3-credit hour Nutrition class. Any 2000-level literature class will satisfy the Humanities requirement. For more information regarding transfer of academic core from a community college, please see an advisor in ART 111.
Yes, UNT accepts Art Appreciation (ARTS 1301) from the community college as equivalent to UNT's Art Appreciation. If a student takes this course at UNT, he or she must take ART 1200 (the section for art majors). However, ARTS 1301 from the community college transfers in as well.
Students may take Art Appreciation, Design I, Design II, Drawing I, Drawing II, Art History Survey I, and Art History Survey II at the community college.
However, coursework from Design and Drawing courses are reviewed in the competitive BFA portfolio reviews for admission to Studio Art and Design programs and may not be sufficient by themselves. It would be wise to review the portfolio requirements and speak with faculty in the appropriate program regarding equivalency.
Students majoring in Art History, Visual Arts Studies and Interdisciplinary Art and Design Studies are strongly advised to take Art History Survey I and II at UNT to ensure adequate preparation for advanced courses in their majors.
If I am having trouble in a class who should I talk to?
It is always best to talk to the instructor during office hours or after class and try to work though class related issues. However, if this is inappropriate or not possible in your situation, you should talk to the Department Chair. Each of the three departments have a chair contact link on the website so you can email for an appointment. If the chair feels it is warranted you can file a formal complaint through that office, if the chair feels that other resources would be better for your situation he/she will advise you of the next steps to take. You always have the option of making an appointment with the advising office 565-2216 to talk with an advisor about the situation and they will assist you in getting in touch with the campus resources or advise you on the process you should follow to resolve the situation.
