New Student Brief Choosing a Degree/Emphasis

Advising Essentials

What technology do I need?

Depending on what your career goals are you will select either the BA or the BFA degree program to follow. See more about Degree Programs

You are assigned a faculty advisor, who is listed on your Degree Progress Report (DPR). Find your DPR online from your myPoint page. You must meet with your advisor each semester prior to registering for classes. It is your responsibility to monitor your DPR on a regular basis and keep track of degree requirements. If you need help with understanding any requirement, ask your advisor to clarify. Contact the Art & Design Office if you decide to change your Emphasis, your advisor or your Degree Program.

Because there are adequate computer labs on campus, you are not required to have your own computer. In fact, you may find that the communal nature of the labs facillitates collaborative learning and critique. Many students take advantage of computer discounts on hardware and software before they graduate.

If you are a BA student you need to choose either a Studio Arts Emphasis or an Art History Emphasis. The Art History Emphasis has additional requirements that must be met, including an Admissions Interview.

If you are a BFA student you need to choose an Emphasis (2-Dimensional, 3-Dimensional or Graphic Design). You can adopt a double emphasis, though a double Emphasis requires an extra year in the program.

Check your Email What is my Entry Status?

When you first declare yourself an Art major you will be a Freshman in the program. This is true even if you transfer from another program on campus. If you are aTransfer student from another institution your entry status will depend on the number of Transfer credits granted.

In the Department of Art & Design many important communications happen through email including: announcements from your professors, info about student advising dates, exhibition and internship opportunities, and scholarship competitions. You are advised to check your UWSP email often, at least once per day.

You may want to invest in your own camera,, however there are department-owned digital SLR, point-and-shoot and video cameras available to check out in the Learning Resource Center (LRC).

What about Storage Space?

As an Art & Design student you can sign up for a locker and claim a flat file drawer in which to store your supplies and work. It is advisable to purchase your own locks for these. Often there are additional spaces in the studios designated for class work project storage during the semester. It is your responsibility to clear out your locker, drawer and work at the end of the academic year.

Community

You are part of a community in the Department of Art & Design, in the College of Fine Arts & Communication, on the university campus and in the surrounding areas.

About Courses: Before classes begin Credit-by-Exam/Test-Out Policy

Registering for Courses

The Department of Art and Design has test-out and credit-by-exam procedures for all general degree requirement (GDR) art courses: Art 181, 270, 271, 282, 283, and 380. If you wish to test out and receive credit-by-exam, you must first confer with the faculty member who teaches the course about requirements for the exam and grading procedures. If you pass the exam, the GDR requirement will be waived, you will receive credit for the course, and the course may count toward an art major and/or minor if appropriate.

The Registrars Office determines a specific registration period for students to register for classes. Currently enrolled students register for spring semester courses in November; and for summer and fall semester courses in April.

You will be assigned a specific registration time by the Registrar’s Office; determined by your classification, and the number of credits earned toward a degree.

The cumulative exam will consist of a specific exercise or series of exercises different from those used in the existing course. In a course with a significant research component, you may be required to do an appropriate project. You may take a test-out/credit-byexam test only once.

Many undergraduates change their major at least once during their academic career. The process of changing majors is fairly simple. Begin by informing both departments of your intention. Talk with a representative of the department

In the middle of each semester, you will be notified when the department will be advising for the next semester. It is recommended that you schedule an appointment with your academic advisor to plan a class schedule for the next semester, Winterim or Summer classes. During the advising session, you and your advisor will review your progress toward the completion of General Degree Requirements and major requirements and determine a schedule of classes for the next semester.

Before the official registration period begins, each faculty advisor will post an advising sign-up-sheet on a specified bulletin board—usually in the lounge area near room NFAC189. It is your responsibility to keep your appointment. Prior to meeting with your advisor, use the timetable to plan alternate classes for the coming semester in case you cannot get your first choices.

into which you wish to transfer for information on program requirements. Please understand that changing your major may lengthen the time to graduation.

Adding/Dropping/Fees/Evaluations Adding/Dropping Courses Do not make a practice of adding and dropping courses. Frequent dropping of courses can cause failure to make satisfactory academic progress, which can affect your financial aid status. If you must add or drop a class, follow the procedure established by the Registrar. Add/Drop forms and instructions are available in the department office.

During the first 8 days of the semester, you may Add or Drop courses with the approval of the department chair. Courses dropped during the first eight days will not appear on your transcript. You may not Add a class after the 8th day except for extenuating circumstances and only with approval by the chair of the department in which the course is offered, the instructor and your advisor.

You may Drop a course after the 8th day and through the 9th week of the semester after talking with the instructor, your advisor.

You need the department chair’s signature.

After the 9th week of classes, decisions on late drops will be made by the Student

Academic Advising Center and only if the reasons for dropping are serious illness, personal duress, or clearly beyond the student’s control.

If you never attend or stop attending a class and do not officially drop the course, you will receive a grade of ‘F’ in the course.

Getting a ‘W’ A grade of ‘W’ (withdrawn) will be given for all courses dropped after the 8th day of the semester.. You can accumulate only 3 ‘W’s during your academic career here.

Withdrawing from the University If you need to withdraw from the University, consult the UWSP University Catalog or contact the Registrar’s Office in the Student Services building for information.

Permission Required (PR) Almost all Art & Design courses are Premission Required or ‘PR’. Permissions are granted by your advisor during pre-registration advising.

If there is room in the class once all Art & Design students are served, the courses are

open to anyone with prerequisite and/or the consent of the instructor.

Course Fees “Special fees” are sometimes referred to As “course fees” or “lab fees.” The faculty member teaching the course uses these fees to purchase materials that will be used by the class during the semester. By buying in bulk, the department can purchase materials at a discounted price. Typically, your lab fees will purchase paper, canvas, clay, mat board, illustration board, drawing materials, wood, glass, printing plates, etc.

Course / Instructor Evaluations Near the end of each semester, you are given an opportunity to evaluate courses and instructors. The results of the evaluations are not only used to determine teaching effectiveness and course content, they also impact faculty tenure/promotion decisions and, therefore, have potentially long-lasting effects. It is important that students treat the evaluation process seriously and use it in a careful and responsible manner.

Respect

Maintain an open mind and allow yourself to be inspired; remain committed to creating an environment of respect; cultivate your passion to create and drive to achieve.

Here you collaborate with faculty on professional graphic design projects for clients inside the university and in the greater community. Visit Design Center

An arts and community mash-up, Arts Bash is a wildly popular event held each February in the Noel Fine Arts Center. Art and design students traditionally create wearable art for a Runway show and have artwork for sale in the Carlsten Art Gallery during the evening.

Theatre and dance students reprise past and future performances as well as offering theatrical makeup to attendees. All sales of art go to scholarships for students in Art & Design and Theatre & Dance.

You can donate your artwork to this event and help support future artists and designers. Half of the sale price goes toward scholarships and half goes in your pocket.

More on Arts Bash

On-Campus Internships Quite a few academic and service units on campus offer student internships. Graphic Design students are required to have at least one Internship for the BFA degree program and many find on-campus internships designing posters, working for the student newspaper, media services or administrative offices.

Watch for calls for Applications online, or inquire about opportunities with the Graphic Design Internship Coordinator.

Internship in London The London Internship program is offered through the UWSP International Programs.

Scholarships / Awards

Scholarships in the Department

Piotrowski Ceramics Award

Melvin R. Laird Award

In the Department of Art & Design a Scholarship Competition happens every spring and you are encouraged to apply. There are more than fifteen different scholarships available. Most are given for excellence in work, though there is one department scholarship given for extraordinary Leadership.

At the BFA Portfolio Review there is an opportunity for Sophomores to be nominated for Scholarships.

The Piotroski Award is a Purchase Award for work in ceramics and is given annually— usually in late spring— by the Murphy family.

The award process is competitive and includes first, second, third places as well as two honorable mentions. Winners' work is purchased for the Carlsten Art Gallery Permanent Collection.

Exceptional individuals can be nominated for the Melvin R. Laird Award. This $5,000 prize is given annually to the most outstanding student in the College of Fine Arts & Communication (COFAC). If you are nominated, the process to apply is demanding and the competition quite stiff. A panel of judges is made up of administrators in COFAC and Award representatives.

Juror's Awards If you are accepted into the annual Juried Student Exhibition, you may win an Award.

Every year a different juror is chosen from outside the university to select work for the show and to assign the Awards. There are at least ten different Awards which are given out for excellence in different categories or disciplines. Some of these include: the Arcadian Press Award for excellence in Graphic Design, and the Schneider Award for excellence in Ceramics.

Student Research Grants Twice every year there is a call for proposals for UWSP Student Research Grants. The work you do and the specific subjects that interest you are good beginnings for research in humanities and the fine arts. As an artist or designer, your research could be a new body of work or a new technique you want to experiment with, which would become a poster, presentation or some form of publication. As an Art Historian, your research will reflect your personal focus and would lead to a paper, presentation or publication.

The department supports student research grants.. See more on SRG online: Student Research Grants

Chancellor's Leadership Award On an annual basis, UWSP seniors who have demonstrated a high level of leadership can apply for the Chancellor's Leadership Award.. The application process is available online.

Both of these events take place in the NFAC.

Visiting Artists on Campus Every year there are multiple opportunities to learn from and sometimes work along side visiting artists, designers and scholars from all over the world. Visits can last as short as a day or extend into several week residencies. When they share their stories, and expertise with the community in public lectures, do make an effort to attend. The presentations, lectures, workshops and classes that visitors offer will broaden your horizons and could take you further in your career.

Student Rights & Responsibilities

The college years can be an exciting and challenging time. It can also be highly stressful. Social and emotional concerns can interfere with effective functioning, quality of life, and academic performance.

The UWSP Counseling Center is committed to helping students benefit from their college experience.

The Multicultural Resource Center (MCRC) at UW-Stevens Point is designed to meet the specific needs of students from traditionally underrepresented groups. Conveniently housed in room 208 of the Dreyfus University Center (DUC), the MCRC provides students with academic and social opportunities, seeking to encourage the success of UWSP's Native American, Asian American, African American, and Hispanic American students.

As a student at the University of WisconsinStevens Point, you have specific rights and protections. You also have the obligation to follow university policies. Information outlining the expectations for and by all university community members is found at the Division of Student Affairs.

All currently enrolled UWSP students are eligible for services at our Counseling Center.

Most counseling services are free to currently registered students with a few exceptions for some testing and special services.

Disability Services The Office of Disability Services is all about maximizing opportunities for students to succeed. A high priority is creating a rapport with students so you feel welcome in your communications with our staff. The Disability Services Mission is to ensure that qualified students with disabilities are provided equal access and accommodations appropriate to their disability in all UWSP programs and academic pursuits.

Student Involvement (SiEO) As the leader of co-curricular involvement, the Student Involvement and Employment Office promotes personal and professional development of our UWSP students through collaboration with the campus and local community in offering experiential learning opportunities to engage students as they prepare for life beyond the university. Check out what SiEO has to offer.

Tutoring/Learning Center (TLC) At the TLC, students can collaborate with peer tutors in the following programs: > Reading/Writing Tutorials > Writing and refining papers > Understanding difficult readings > Developing effective study habits such as note-taking, time management skills, and testing strategies. They also have: one-onone or group tutoring in the content of select math, science, and foreign language GDR courses; as well as computer guides to help you learn to use computers and software better.

UWSP Point Cards

Work Study

Often Art & Design students are unable to eat a meal in the cafeteria because they are in class during the hours of meal service.

Students have several options from which to choose which will allow them not to miss a meal. They may use a “Point Card” in the student union or may get a sack lunch from the Debot cafeteria. Students who find themselves in this situation should contact the Point Card Office in Debot Center for specific information. Arrangement must be made in advance of the meal missed. The number for the Point Card Office is 346-2012.

College Work Study Program (CWSP) Before work-study will be included on your Financial Aid award (1) you have to indicate on the FAFSA an interest in workstudy, (2) you must meet the current UWSP qualifications, and (3) work-study money must be available. If awarded work-study, you must work with the Student Involvement and Employment Office to secure a job.

It is beneficial for students to work on this program because, unlike other forms of employment, CWSP does not reduce grant and other need-based aid eligibility the next year (“need-based” wages are excluded from the analysis of need).

Academic Policies Art & Design Academic Standards All Art & Design students must meet the academic entrance requirements of the university. If you are a studio art or design student you should be prepared to present a portfolio of artwork for review and evaluation periodically throughout the program as requested.

Academic Appeals You may appeal any action taken by the department that is based on departmental requirements and policies that are set forth in the university catalog. To Appeal an action, you must do so in writing and submit to the department chair. The Appeal must be received within 30 days of notification of the action taken.

Grade Point Requirements The university requires you to maintain a 2.0 or better GPA. In the Art major, you must maintain at least a 2.67 GPA in your Art classes to remain in the Art & Design program.

In Art Foundation you must achieve a 2.67 or higher GPA, including transfer credits and regardless of any declaration of academic bankruptcy, to maintain your status as an Art major and to qualify for the BFA Portfolio Review.

Misconduct: Academic Issues The university has a responsibility to promote academic honesty and integrity and to develop procedures to deal effectively with instances of academic dishonesty. Students are responsible for the honest completion and representation of their work, for the appropriate citation of sources, and for respect of others' academic endeavors.

Students who violate these standards must be confronted and must accept the consequences of their actions.

Plagiarism Plagiarism is defined as the unauthorized use or close imitation of the language, thoughts, or work of another, and the representation of them as one’s own original work. Presenting any non-original work in your research, creative work, or portfolio without proper citation is plagiarism.

Probation If your GPA is below the minimum requirement, you will receive a warning that your academic status is unsatisfactory. If your GPA falls below the minimum requirement for two consecutive semesters, you will be dismissed as a major. The department policy on repeating courses and academic bankruptcy requires prior department authorization, but is otherwise the same as general university policy, except where higher department GPA requirements apply.

Research and Citation of Sources The expectation and requirement for your research, whether it is a paper, presentation, or creative work, is that information and material will be gathered from primary and secondary external sources—such as books, periodicals, interviews, film, video, image collections, on-line sources, etc; —but that the presentation or work itself will be original in format, content, and organization.

Primary research involves the collection of data or content that does not already exist.

—more

Academic Policies This research can take many forms, including experiments, interviews, questionnaires, and creative work.

Secondary research involves the collection, summary, and organization of existing research or content. Typically, many sources are explored and synthesized to develop new content and concepts. Secondary sources include books, periodicals, images, video, and on-line sources.

Any non-original content presented as a part of research or creative work, must be credited to the original author or creator of the content (text, image, video, etc). To be safe, assume that all content (images, videos, text, etc) found in books, periodicals, online, or in other sources, are copyright protected, and the source should be cited.

Transfer Students To transfer art credits from other institutions, you must submit a portfolio and grade transcripts. Acceptance of transfer credits toward the major depends on a successful portfolio evaluation. Your placement in the program will be determined by trascripts, portfolio review and the department chair in conjunction with faculty in your area.
