LACOSTE

Since the 15th century, artists have made the pilgrimage to Lacoste, France, simply to witness the play of light in the Luberon Valley. Today, many continue to flock to this flawlessly preserved medieval village to study at SCAD. Steeped in the culture of Provence, this study abroad destination invites creative rejuvenation as students shed the distractions of daily life and focus on their work — be it art history, painting, photography, writing or one of the many other disciplines the university makes available at this unforgettable location.

In my classes at SCAD Lacoste and on our visits to professional studios in Paris, I was able to further my design abilities and dream bigger dreams than I ever thought possible.

ADAM NEWBOLD SCAD B.F.A. graphic design Walla Walla, Washington

While in Lacoste, students live and study in historic structures, which date from the ninth to the 19th centuries and include a former village bakery and a farmhouse that once belonged to the Marquis de Sade.

These masterfully rehabilitated spaces now serve as printmaking and photography labs, studios and lecture classrooms, residential and dining halls, and a digitally connected library. Course offerings at Lacoste vary each quarter and provide students with the opportunity to earn credit toward their SCAD degrees while experiencing the riches of the region.

Students regularly exhibit their work at local vernissages, take field trips to unique museums and historic sites, and travel to Avignon, Paris and Saint-Rémy-de-Provence.

Celebrated artists and designers visit SCAD Lacoste throughout the year. Recent notable guests include TED Talks content producer Juliet Blake, Vogue contributing editor Lynn Yaeger, and CFDA Fashion Award-winning designers Shane Gabier and Christopher Peters of Creatures of the Wind.

SCAD cultivates graduate students to step into powerful roles at international companies, to launch entrepreneurial endeavors, and to become masters of art, design and the written word. Through award-winning degree programs, small class sizes and professionally connected faculty, they are prepared to realize their highest aspirations.

The university’s graduate degree programs emphasize research and analysis alongside studio creation and fieldwork, engendering a holistic, integrated understanding of students’ chosen disciplines. Peer and individual critiques and seminar discussions provide a forum for the development of a self-critical framework. Students may select electives that reflect their interests and enable them to delve into related disciplines for inspiration and diverse perspectives.

Each program culminates in a final project or thesis, a pinnacle of the graduate experience that may include traditional scholarly research, a body of work, exhibitions and more. Recent pursuits range from a proposal to establish a cultural center for second-generation Caribbean immigrants in Miami-Dade County to an in-depth analysis of the social and historical significance of street art. Academic quests like these often develop into specialized career tracks.

SCAD graduate students emerge from their studies with a highly evolved analytical and practical understanding of their area of focus and poised to become visionary leaders in their respective fields.

Through activities and instruction, CAPP participants forge bonds with one another, get settled before fall classes begin and are prepared to excel in advanced coursework.

The university’s dedicated International Student Services Office works exclusively with international students before and during their time at SCAD. Through a focused orientation session coordinated by ISSO, new students from outside the U.S. learn about academics, university life, cross-cultural topics, housing, safety, immigration, travel and more before beginning their studies.

I am honored to lead SCAD, where we create the most beautiful learning environments for students.

All around the SCAD world, I daily witness my students’ brilliance, heart for community service, friendships, and mind-blowing invention.

We also have fun! SCAD students have the best professors, programs of study and support services, and are the best students anywhere. After graduation, SCAD Bees stay close to their university, providing jobs for new graduates and lots of love.

One parent described SCAD as full of “high technology, warm people, and good vibes.” That, he said, is our “brand.” True enough — but there has always been magic in this place, and SCAD will be magical for you. I’m sure.

Force of nature Across both graduate programs, students extend the reach of design thinking to investigate consumer lifestyle choices and business practices.

Leading-edge technologies, including life cycle analysis software, and unparalleled out-of-classroom experiences provide all students with knowledge relevant to a broad spectrum of professional fields.

Coursework in the M.A. program sharpens students’ analytical abilities to design in a way that is environmentally, financially and socially responsible, the “triple bottom line” of sustainable practice. The M.F.A. degree is based on a comprehensive framework of courses that delves deeply into theories and methodologies and builds a practical knowledge of the field of sustainability as it applies to design professions. Students specialize in one of four areas of study: built environment, management, packaging and print media, and products.

Graduates find themselves at the forefront of technological discoveries and organizational change, prepared for careers within and beyond the corporate environment. Design for sustainability alumni are recruited and hired by the American Institute of Architects, Essential, Hewlett-Packard, IDEO, Intel, Method, Patagonia, Starbucks and Subaru, among others.

TACTILE TOOLS At Pepe Hall — the largest environment dedicated to a fibers program in the U.S. — students find all the advanced resources and tools needed to fabricate their most imaginative designs. Included in the 21,000-square-foot building is a lab with Bernina and Juki sewing machines, a Brother PR620 embroidery machine, and a Gammill Charm mid-arm quilting machine. Students have access to hand-weaving and digital-weaving studios replete with Compu-Dobby looms and one of the largest digital Jacquard looms in higher education. A digital textile printing lab is equipped with Mimaki and VersaJet printers. The department also offers a screen printing lab, a dye lab, a wet lab with felting and papermaking equipment and a comprehensive resource room.

In 2015 alone, Savannah hosted 90 professional productions, including three Sundance 2016 features. Atlanta, the ninthlargest media market in the U.S., is a film and television megahub. In addition to its flourishing independent film scene, the city attracts a diverse array of productions, from the Captain America, Divergent and X-Men franchises to hit TV shows like The Vampire Diaries and The Walking Dead.

At the undergraduate level, students choose from two concentrations: game development, which encompasses game art, design and programming, or interactive design, which explores information architecture, social media applications and web experiences. Graduate students explore both paths through rigorous, comprehensive coursework that focuses on game environments, user-centered design and scripting for interactivity. Program alumni are prepared to launch successful careers as digital media entrepreneurs, conceive and create interactive web and mobile platforms, and develop smartphone and social media apps, video games and websites.

INTERIOR DESIGN

Space to explore To gain valuable connections and experience, SCAD students regularly participate in sponsored collaborations and interdisciplinary projects.

Most recently, interior design students joined forces with architecture, furniture design and urban design students on the university’s groundbreaking SCADpad initiative, a prototype micro-housing community located within a midcentury urban parking structure.

Students gave each micro-dwelling a unique visual identity by creating custom exterior and interior elements, from fixtures and finishes to artwork to textiles. SCADpad residences have been prominently featured by CNN, Time magazine, Dwell, Fast Company, Architectural Record, ELLE Decor, USA Today and NBC’s Today show. The microhousing community was also highlighted at the 2014 World Architecture Festival, and was honored with AIA Georgia’s 2014 Honor Award and the 2015 Best of the Best Forum Design Award from the Georgia chapter of the International Interior Design Association.

In awarding SCAD its top ranking, DesignIntelligence cited the university’s academic environments and leading-edge technology.

Beyond the classroom, students benefit from a global view of the discipline. From the soaring skyline of Hong Kong and the picturesque countryside of Lacoste, France, to the metropolitan bustle of Atlanta, Georgia, and the historic charm of Savannah, Georgia, SCAD students are immersed in environments conducive to creative exploration and professional networking.

Multifaceted talents In Savannah, students design and produce works within a 13,800-square-foot studio environment that puts cutting-edge technology at their fingertips. Here, students engage in invention and innovation through the physical processes of shaping objects, utilizing resources that include two laser welders, an induction casting machine, a microscope system, a dual handpiece MicroMotor System, Solidscape 3Z Pro wax printers, Roland JWX-10 milling machines and Cintiq tablets. Software resources include Adobe Creative Cloud Complete, Matrix Digital Goldsmith, KeyShot and an authorized RhinoFabStudio, which enables students to earn Rhino certification before graduation.

Undergraduate students not only establish an informed aesthetic style and gain technical proficiency; they also

Aliza Guttman, Chevy Chase, Maryland

learn to explain their work and present their design processes professionally. The M.A. degree program offers in-depth study and a focused approach to jewelry creation, meeting industry-specific objectives. The M.F.A. degree culminates in a thesis project to showcase students’ sophisticated contributions to their field. At all levels of study, students are encouraged to think independently and to challenge existing notions of personal adornment.

SCAD.EDU / JEWELRY

By attending shows, students garner a deeper understanding of the importance of face-to-face interactions, professionalism in presenting their work and the significance of creative vision and artistic integrity.

SCAD was the first university, and remains one of the few, to offer both undergraduate and graduate degrees in sequential art. Students explore every style and genre imaginable in this burgeoning creative discipline, and they are guided by the largest sequential art faculty in the U.S. The progressive curricula incorporate traditional techniques with advanced technology and specialized digital applications.

To complement their course of study, students enjoy a breadth of

Graduate students are prepared for careers in the field ready to cultivate the creativity of the next generation of visual storytellers.

Production methods, criticism, theory and practice are taught at the graduate level, and those pursuing M.F.A. degrees are required to complete an internship.

The program’s high level of academic and professional preparation has led to a number of accolades for the program in recent years. The Daily Beast named SCAD one of the top three places from which Marvel Comics recruits the most editors, and USA Today has highlighted the university’s sequential art program. Philadelphia Weekly has called SCAD “the Harvard of comics.”

Orchestrate the soundscapes that transport audiences.

Students use dialogue, sound effects and music to create a compelling accompaniment that is integral to storytelling.

At SCAD, sound design students become virtuosos who can do it all, learning the techniques and execution behind masterful sensory narrative. SCAD is the first and only university to confer B.F.A., M.A. and M.F.A. degrees in sound design. Students are immersed in a curriculum that models the tools, workflow and aesthetics of commercial media production — from film and television to game development and

Production equipment includes five completely outfitted production sound carts for film and television production. SCAD locations in Atlanta, Hong Kong and Savannah offer recording studios and ADR suites as well as private sound editing suites. The Atlanta location features a Foley stage and full recording studio. SCAD is also home to an extensive effects and music library, which students use in developing highly sophisticated, legal soundtracks.

Preeminent faculty members — Emmy and Academy Award winners, authors of books on the subject matter, and collaborators on films including The Wolf of Wall Street, Hugo, Life of Pi, Die Hard, Edward Scissorhands, Predator, Batman Returns, Speed and The Green Mile, and TV shows including Boardwalk Empire and Futurama — mentor students as they grow into dynamic and in-demand sound design professionals.

Thanks in part to this guidance, sound design students and alumni have gone on to coveted acclaim, earning the prestigious Verna Fields Award for Student Filmmakers as part of the Motion Picture Sound Editors Golden Reel Awards, among other accolades.

Urban designers understand that the strength of a community is in the union of its built environment and the human-centered events that fill its spaces. At SCAD — the only art and design university in the U.S. to offer a Master of Urban Design degree — students learn to balance historical continuity with formal experiments and technological innovation to design cities that inspire.

Based in Savannah, the urban design program is set amid one of the most celebrated city plans in the world — a plan noted urban designer Edmund Bacon hailed as “one of the finest diagrams for city

FOUNDATION STUDIES

334

Foundation studies courses lay the groundwork for students to enter a diverse array of degree programs.

Kenzie Callahan, Naples, Florida

SCAD CORE

Foundation studies SCHOOL OF FOUNDATION STUDIES Every undergraduate student’s educational experience is anchored by SCAD Core, which includes rigorous courses in drawing and design that provide students with studio experience to build visual, conceptual and creative abilities. In these courses, students gain a foundation in the utilization of visual language, the development of creative solutions, and art and design critique.

Students advance to foundation studies courses that move in the direction of their professional aspirations. For example, in DSGN 115 Creative Thinking Strategies, students who enter the accessory design and industrial design programs learn to develop concepts independently and collaboratively. In DRAW 115 Graphics for the Building Arts,

335

students who pursue architecture, interior design and preservation design learn to use drawing as a way to express sequence of images to tell a story. Dramatic writing, performing arts and sound design students explore the design and organization of time-based work, which includes video, interactive multimedia and performance in DSGN 204 Design III: Time. The organization of foundation studies courses into a two-year sequence allows students to complete necessary courses in preparation for upper-level coursework. Students should consult their programs of study for specific curriculum requirements.

Through foundation studies, SCAD offers students a remarkable array of support and tutoring services. The SCAD Drawing and Design Center offers peer tutoring and workshops that include “Color and Light,” where students learn to recognize colors under various lighting conditions, and “Planar Analysis,” where students learn about structural planes of objects and the human form. Open model sessions offer weekly opportunities for drawing from the figure, which cover gesture and quick and long poses, while open drawing sessions explore interdisciplinary qualities of gestural sketch approaches with professors from a variety of majors who host each event.

Located in Fahm Hall, the digital prototyping center SCADlab supports many of the DSGN 100 Design I: Elements and Organization courses for both large-scale digital printing and laser cutting. The lecture series “Ideas in Sight” brings in professionals from many disciplines to discuss how they generate their ideas, which helps first-year students see the connection between research, drawing, design process, and environmental and cultural influences.

Students then recognize how the combination of these elements builds to a final work. First-year students also have the opportunity to hear from students across disciplines in the lecture series “Major Connections,” where upper-level students talk about their current work and its connection to their foundation studies experience.

Foundation studies faculty members hold terminal degrees and high acclaim in their professions. They include a U.S. Artists Fellow, a Hudgens Prize recipient, a MacDowell Fellow, a Clio Award winner, a Kennedy Center Faculty Fellow, a Ford Foundation Grant recipient and Fulbright Scholars. Their work has been commissioned and sponsored by governments and institutions around the globe, and has been exhibited at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Dublin Biennial and Prague Quadrennial, as well as countless other galleries, museums and art fairs.

SCAD CORE

General education SCHOOL OF LIBERAL ARTS The SCAD School of Liberal Arts offers an academically diverse general education program at the university level. Before SCAD graduates go on to professions at Pixar, Chanel, Marvel, Electronic Arts and The New York Times, they learn to express, defend and investigate new ideas in the humanities and sciences through courses in anatomy, astronomy, biology, communication, English, foreign languages (Chinese, French and Spanish), mathematics, philosophy, physics, physical science, political science and psychology.

All undergraduate students complete a minimum of 55 quarter hours (or at least 11 courses) in the liberal arts courses of SCAD Core. This engagement gives students the agency to explore and deepen their creative processes through critical thinking and powerful expression. Students should consult their programs of study for specific curricular requirements.

In liberal arts courses as well as select courses in art history, the SCAD general education program focuses on developing six competencies for all undergraduate students:

GENERAL EDUCATION

336

1. Aesthetic interpretation. Students are equipped to respond critically to artistic works and traditions from various societies.

4. Multicultural/historical perspectives. Students examine beliefs and ideologies from cultures and eras that may be different from their own.

2. Computer literacy. Students are literate in current, professional-standard technologies and technological applications.

5. Quantitative reasoning. Students acquire an understanding of the concepts and logic that underlie mathematical thinking.

3. Critical analysis. Students employ a disciplined process to conceptualize, apply, analyze, synthesize and/or evaluate information as a guide to decision-making and action.

6. Written and oral communication. Students use written and spoken English effectively and with critical discernment.

SCAD general education courses invite students to explore the human condition and forms of expression and prepare them to think and communicate as professionals. SCAD Core is a significant part of the classroom experience because it nourishes the artistic spirit and provides the mental tools to view the world critically and inquisitively.

The School of Liberal Arts includes the language and cultural studies minor, which offers an opportunity to focus on global languages and the written, social and artistic aspects of their societies. Areas of focus include French, Spanish and Mandarin Chinese — the second most widely spoken language of business in the world.

Two resources are offered for the entire SCAD community: The SCAD Speaker Lab, staffed by communication faculty, and the SCAD Math Lab, staffed by math faculty. The SCAD Speaker Lab provides in-person and online presentation coaching to help students, alumni, faculty and staff prepare for an array of occasions and venues.

The SCAD Math Lab offers students guidance in all manner of mathematical questions — from determining the ratios and angles for a piece of perspective art to the properties of algorithms used in virtual reality and interactive design.

Every liberal arts course at SCAD is taught by seasoned, professional educators, which is vital to a student’s ability to thrive in the university environment. The liberal arts faculty includes more than 40 full-time faculty members — accomplished and knowledgeable professionals who regularly present their work at conferences throughout North America, Europe and Asia, and who publish their work and research in international academic journals and publications.

take them beyond the classroom walls and into an innovative digital learning environment and a wide variety of other SCAD events and activities. These activities may include observing for-credit courses or attending lectures or exhibitions. Individual tutoring is available to all SLS students at no additional cost and is based on instructor feedback and test scores, with each tutoring plan focused not only on speaking skills, but also on reading, writing and listening.

Throughout their English language study, students work closely with instructors who have experience teaching students from all over the world. SLS instructors hold advanced degrees in ESL education and instruction, applied linguistics, foreign language education and related fields. ESL courses are preparatory for degreegranting coursework and do not carry credit toward a degree program. Students who receive a waiver for SLS may still enroll in ESL coursework or participate in English language tutoring if they desire assistance with language or cultural transitions.

Visit scad.edu/fees for information on the cost of SLS courses. SLS courses may be waived upon successful performance on the ESL proficiency test. Visit scad.edu/eslassessment for more information on ESL assessment and criteria for successful completion of the ESL proficiency test.

A well-rounded curriculum provides students with core courses in foundation studies and general education leading to focused major programs emphasizing development of academic knowledge, technical and analytical skills, aesthetic sensibility, and the ability to express ideas visually and verbally.

Bachelor of Arts degree The Bachelor of Arts degree program is a four-year course of study requiring 180 quarter credit hours (equivalent to 120 semester credit hours). The Bachelor of Arts degree begins with foundation studies coursework and a comprehensive general education curriculum that focuses on the humanities/ fine arts, natural sciences/mathematics, social/behavioral sciences, written and oral communication, and computer literacy, which provide a breadth of knowledge for lifelong learning. Students then complete a series of courses in an area of concentration to develop knowledge and skill in a particular discipline. Students are also required to take several free electives to broaden their experience and interests.

SCAD Core The SCAD Core of foundation studies and general education courses is designed to provide undergraduate students with the essential skills necessary for success at SCAD. Foundation studies provide students with a studio foundation that builds visual, conceptual and creative abilities essential to their development as professionals. General education courses in liberal arts are designed to develop students as critical thinkers by providing an intellectual foundation and breadth of knowledge for lifelong learning.

Students should complete SCAD Core coursework within their first 90 hours of study. The organization of these courses into a two-year sequence allows students to complete necessary prerequisites for future study and prepares them for the work of the major. The SCAD Core may consist of a combination of the following courses or other courses that fall within the areas of foundation studies and general education. Students should consult their faculty or staff adviser for specific course requirements and sequencing.

Undergraduate double majors Many of the undergraduate majors offered at SCAD complement each other, and students may choose to earn a double major. With careful course selection and financial planning, students can double major without substantially prolonging their programs of study. Students who put forth that extra effort gain credentials and expertise that may be invaluable to their careers. In order to double major, undergraduate students must complete all courses unique to each major.

Students are not required to take the same course twice, nor must they always take two sets of electives; however, a student may not substitute major coursework for one major to serve as major coursework in the second major. Major coursework for one major may count as free elective or studio credit in the second major program. Students who wish to double major must follow course requirements as listed in the catalog they are following for their primary major.

For information about completing a double major, undergraduate students should consult with a staff adviser. Students also should check to be sure adequate financial aid is available, if needed, to cover the additional time and costs associated with completing coursework above the minimum credit hours required for a bachelor’s degree.

Undergraduate minors Minors are designed to broaden students’ education and enhance their employment opportunities. Students enrolled in any bachelor’s degree program may elect to declare a minor outside the major field of study.

Required courses in the foundation studies curriculum or in the general education curriculum may count toward a minor.

The minor may require the student to complete more than the minimum number of quarter hours required for graduation.

Thus, students should check to be sure adequate financial aid is available, if needed, to cover the additional time and cost.

Students may choose to complete more than one minor or apply the hours earned for a minor toward the completion of a double major. For information about completing a minor, students should consult with a staff adviser.

In order to receive designation of a minor on his or her transcript, a student must declare the minor with a staff adviser, successfully complete the required credit hours as specified in the minor program of study, and maintain an overall grade-point average of 2.0 in the minor. Some courses have prerequisites that may require additional credits to complete the minor. Consult course descriptions to ascertain prerequisites. A listing of minor programs offered, including descriptions, courses of study and availability at each SCAD location, is available online at scad.edu/minors.

Undergraduate mathematics competency requirement SCAD ensures that all undergraduate students are able to demonstrate fundamental mathematics competency in one of the following ways: by successfully completing one MATH course at SCAD; by presenting proof of a qualifying math score on the SAT (560 or above) or the ACT (24 or above); or by presenting proof of qualifying math scores on Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, Collegelevel Examination Program, or other equivalent international examinations as published on the SCAD admission website.

These scores may qualify for transfer credit in addition to satisfying the mathematics requirement.

Students who have successfully completed a course at another college or university similar in content and level of

SCAD.EDU / POLICIES

instruction to a mathematics course at SCAD may be permitted to transfer that course in satisfaction of the mathematics requirement.

Undergraduate architecture applicants who present SAT math scores lower than 560, ACT math scores lower than 24, or are unable to demonstrate a competency for the study of mathematics and science may be admitted to the architecture program on a provisional basis and must take MATH 101 Intermediate Mathematics. The credit hours earned in MATH 101 may be applied as an undergraduate general education elective. All undergraduate architecture students are required to take MATH 201 Applied Mathematics.

Students who demonstrate math competency with exam scores may take any math or natural science class to satisfy the mathematics/natural sciences general education requirement. Students should consult with their staff adviser before registering for any math or science courses to be sure they meet the requirements for their specific program of study.

First Year Experience First Year Experience is a required, noncredit, extended orientation course for first-year incoming undergraduate students designed to help prepare them for academic success and professional careers. The course provides a discussionbased environment in which students are introduced to university requirements, their responsibility in the learning process, and skills that enable them to identify and efficiently use university resources. In addition, the course addresses topics such as major exploration, academic advisement and registration, career planning, campus technology and student involvement opportunities.

All incoming first-year students are registered for First Year Experience during their first quarter of enrollment. First-year students are required to successfully complete First Year Experience prior to declaring a major, and as a graduation requirement. Students who have transferred to SCAD after attending another institution are not required to complete the course, but may opt to participate in the course to take advantage of the learning opportunities presented.

Graduate programs Graduate programs at SCAD are designed for dedicated, self-motivated students who are committed to the pursuit of excellence through advanced study. Graduate curricula are structured to include knowledge of the literature of the discipline and to ensure ongoing student engagement in research and/or appropriate professional practice and training experiences. Graduate courses require students to analyze, explore, question, reconsider and synthesize old and new knowledge and skills. The graduate experience culminates in a thesis, final project or portfolio demonstrating a mature and resolved body of work and/or research. Graduates are encouraged to hold leadership positions, to enter a variety of professional disciplines, to teach, or to accomplish other personal and professional goals.

Master of Architecture degree (professional) The professional Master of Architecture degree program is accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board and satisfies the education requirement for architect licensure in all U.S. jurisdictions.

The M.Arch. degree program requires that students first complete a preparatory or preprofessional undergraduate degree in architecture. At SCAD, the preprofessional undergraduate program is a Bachelor of Fine Arts in architecture degree, which is composed of 180 quarter credit hours. After successfully completing 180 undergraduate credit hours and satisfying all program requirements, students are awarded the B.F.A. in architecture degree, whether or not they pursue graduate level studies. Acceptance of students graduating with a B.F.A. degree from SCAD into the professional M.Arch. graduate program is based on current grade-point average and studio portfolio.

Students with a preprofessional or preparatory degree in architecture from other institutions are also encouraged to apply for admission to the M.Arch. program. Acceptance of a student with a preprofessional or preparatory degree in architecture from other institutions to the SCAD graduate program is based on review of academic transcripts, specific coursework and portfolio to ensure that their undergraduate study satisfies NAAB student performance criteria required at the preprofessional level. Based on the results of this review, students may be assigned preparatory (preliminary) courses from the SCAD B.F.A. program prior to admission to the graduate program.

The architecture program in its entirety encompasses a foundation studies curriculum, general education curriculum, major program curriculum and electives. The program emphasizes preparation for a professional career as an architect; it focuses on theory and practice within the university’s unique art and design context. Architectural design is emphasized through design studio courses that meet 10 hours each week and through a sequence of courses in building construction systems, graphic communication, digital technology, sustainability, history, theory and professional practice. The architecture graduate experience culminates in a thesis, demonstrating a mature and resolved body of work and/or research.

Course catalog of entry

Incoming first-time freshmen enter SCAD as undeclared majors. First-year students have the opportunity to declare a major upon successful completion of FSYR 101 First Year Experience, but may remain undeclared through their sophomore year. While undeclared, students are required to consult with their staff adviser prior to registration each quarter. Students should declare a major by the end of the sophomore year.

Incoming transfer students enter SCAD as declared majors based on their application for admission. Transfer credit is reviewed and awarded based upon the declared major. All declared students are assigned a faculty adviser who teaches in the major, as well as a staff adviser.

Undergraduate students who wish to declare or change a major must consult with a staff adviser. Undergraduate students may change their major, add a second major, or enroll in a minor at any time during their studies. Graduate students who wish to change their program of study should consult with a graduate staff adviser. Students may declare a major or minor only at a SCAD location where that program is offered.

Both undergraduate and graduate students are expected to follow the degree requirements of the course catalog in effect at the time of their initial enrollment at SCAD. Specific course requirements are updated in the catalog annually.

Students are expected to adhere to changes to individual courses as they occur.

If the curriculum and degree requirements change during the five-year period after the student initially enrolls, the student may elect to follow the new degree requirements, but may not move to a catalog earlier than his or her catalog of entry.

If a student does not fulfill the degree requirements of the course catalog of entry within the five-year period, then he or she must follow the requirements of the catalog in effect at the end of that five-year period. Any graduate student who does not complete the program within five years must petition the department of graduate studies for continuation under the current program of study.

Students may be required to follow new degree requirements if courses required by previous programs have been eliminated from the course catalog; however, under no circumstances are students required to take any additional credit hours to earn the declared degree within five years of entry.

Academic advisement Academic advisement is provided to all students to assist in the development of their educational plans and career goals, and to relate these goals to academic offerings at SCAD. Students have both a staff and a faculty adviser to support them during their SCAD tenure.

Staff advisers help students with the general requirements and logistics related to their academic registration and progression. Faculty advisers are recognized as the experts in their disciplines, offering students help with regard to their chosen major of study. Students are encouraged to discuss their program of study, course content and career development each quarter with their faculty adviser, and to contact their staff adviser as needed.

First-year freshmen are assigned a staff adviser at enrollment. When students declare a major, they also are assigned a faculty adviser from their major department. Transfer students are assigned a staff adviser and faculty adviser upon enrollment. Transfer students are required to discuss their program of study with their staff adviser during their first quarter of enrollment and should consult with their staff adviser at least annually thereafter.

Graduate students are assigned both faculty and staff advisers at orientation. These advisers regularly provide assistance with course selection and professional development

Declaring a major

Quarter system Undergraduate and graduate courses are taught on the quarter system. Most courses carry five hours of academic credit. Each five-credit course meets for at least 2 1/2 hours twice weekly for a total of 50 hours of instruction during the 10-week quarter. Each quarter credit hour requires 10 hours of instruction, and students should expect to spend an additional 20 hours of out-of-class time for a total of 30 hours of activity.

The academic year includes four quarters, and students may enroll each quarter, including the summer quarter; however, course offerings may be limited in the summer. Students should expect to spend a minimum of two hours on out-ofclass work for each hour of direct faculty instruction in class, including internships, independent studies and studio work.

Students enrolled in SCAD eLearning courses should expect to spend a minimum of two hours on out-of-class work to manage course content and complete assignments for each hour of participation in the digital classroom.

SCAD sometimes offers courses in a compressed time frame of less than a 10-week quarter. In all cases, however, the standard for earning a quarter credit (10 contact hours, plus 20 additional out-of-class hours) is maintained.

One quarter credit is equivalent to 0.67 semester credits; one semester credit is worth 1.50 quarter credits.

Grading system At the end of each quarter, faculty members submit grades via MySCAD for all enrolled students. Once all grades have

been received, the registrar’s office processes grades, awards credits, and calculates grade-point averages.

Grades are assigned according to the following system of letter and quality-points evaluation: LETTER QUALITY POINTS POINTS Undergraduate Graduate

A Excellent B Good C Average D Poor F Failure

4 3 2 1 0

4 3 2 0 0

The following codes may appear on transcripts and do not affect a student’s grade-point average.

W Withdrawal I Incomplete S Satisfactory

T Transfer credit U Unsatisfactory N Audit

Graduate students receive no credit for a grade of D or below in any course, and receive no credit for required preliminary courses for a grade of C or below.

Full-time undergraduate students who achieve a gradepoint average of 3.5 or higher during a quarter term receive an official letter noting dean’s list honors for that term. This honor is also noted on the student’s transcript.

Full-time status

Attendance and personal conduct Only students who are properly registered for a course may attend and participate in that course. Students are not permitted to participate in courses in which they are not registered.

The official course roster determines enrollment. Students are responsible for ensuring that they are enrolled for each course in which they are participating.

Students are expected to attend and participate in all scheduled classes and examination periods. Absences in excess of four class periods per quarter, or 20 percent of the course, result in the student receiving a failing grade for the course, unless the student withdraws from the course in accordance with the withdrawal policy. The withdrawal policy can be found on page 352. Tardiness, early departure or other time away from class in excess of 15 minutes per class session is considered an absence for that class session.

Dropping and adding courses The first five business days of each 10-week quarter are designated the drop/add period when students may change their course schedules. Students are subject to a late registration charge if they have not registered prior to the first day of classes.

The drop/add period for any term less than 10 weeks will vary and will be published in relevant course materials.

Military mobilization The SCAD military mobilization policy is intended to provide financial relief for students affected by military mobilization.

This policy protects students who are members of a state National Guard or reserve forces of the U.S. and who are ordered to report for state or federal military service.

When a currently enrolled student (or the spouse of a currently enrolled student, if the spouse has a dependent child) has received orders to deploy, the student should submit a copy of the orders to the registrar’s office. The registrar’s office will communicate to student financial services that the change in the student’s status is the result of military mobilization. The student shall be given the option to receive a full refund of tuition and fees for courses that he or she will be unable to complete due to deployment, regardless of the point during the quarter at which the student withdraws.

If the student wishes, he or she may opt to receive a grade of incomplete for courses he or she is unable to complete due to deployment, with the option to finish the courses at a later date. Alternatively, the student may make arrangements with his or her instructors for final grades in courses that will not be fully completed. If the student opts for a grade of incomplete, or for final grades prior to the end of

The office of the registrar is the official designated authority for determining full-time status for all students requesting enrollment verifications for insurance or any type of financial aid or loans. A full-time undergraduate student is defined as one who is registered for at least 15 quarter hours of credit per quarter. Undergraduate students may register for a maximum of 20 quarter hours of credit per quarter, provided they have maintained a grade-point average of at least 3.0 during the previous quarter. A full-time graduate student is defined as one who is registered for at least 10 quarter hours of credit per quarter. Graduate students may register for more than 15 quarter hours only with the permission of the chair and by contacting their graduate staff adviser.

Less than full-time enrollment status may affect financial aid such as loans, grants, scholarships, university housing, health insurance and visas (if applicable).

Classes missed due to late registration are included in the overall absences permitted for the class.

Not attending class during the first week of any term will result in a delay in disbursement of financial aid, and may also result in the student being dropped from classes. Students should contact their staff adviser in advance if they expect to miss classes during the first week.

Students taking fully online courses or online courses with minimal face-to-face meetings are required to check the online course site regularly and participate in the daily work of the course. At minimum, students should log in and participate in the class, or in an academically related activity within the course, two separate days per week. Students demonstrating no activity within the first three weeks will be dropped from the course. Students who fail to meet the minimum requirement within the first three weeks will be withdrawn from the course. Absences in excess of 20 percent result in the student receiving a failing grade for the course.

For hybrid courses, which meet both online and in the classroom, combined absences, including online attendance and classroom attendance, in excess of 20 percent result in the student receiving a failing grade for the course.

Students’ appearance and conduct should be appropriate and should contribute to the academic and professional atmosphere of SCAD. The university reserves the right at its sole discretion to withdraw the privilege of enrollment from any student whose conduct is detrimental to the academic environment or to the well-being of other students, faculty, staff members, or university facilities.

the current quarter, registration shall remain intact, and the student will be responsible for tuition and fees in full. If the student seeks an incomplete grade, he or she will not be eligible to withdraw from the course after the end of the quarter.

In order to replace the incomplete grade with a final grade, all work must be turned in by the midterm of the second quarter following the conclusion of military service, except in the case of an eLearning course. In such cases, when the type of deployment allows, work is due by the midterm of the next quarter.

If a currently enrolled student is registered in one or more eLearning courses when deployed, the student may decide to remain registered in eLearning courses based on his or her type of deployment.

The financial aid office will perform the standard return of Title IV refund calculation based on the student’s last date of attendance. Funds will be returned to the appropriate program as mandated by federal regulation. If the student withdraws, SCAD will refund 100 percent of his or her personal payments for that quarter. Any balance created by the return of funds to appropriate programs and personal funds will be written off by SCAD. If the student receives a grade of incomplete, he or she may enroll in the same class, at no charge, within two quarters of the conclusion of military service.

Withdrawal After the end of the drop/add period and through the last day of the quarter, students may officially withdraw from a course.

Students should note that withdrawing from a course after the drop/add period is not the same as dropping a course during the drop/add period. Withdrawing students do incur a financial obligation for the portion of the course that has passed, but withdrawal may entitle the student or lender to a refund of tuition paid for the remaining portion of the course.

Withdrawal from one or more courses also may impact a student’s full-time status and may alter eligibility for financial aid, university housing, health insurance and visas (if applicable).

Students should consult with a staff adviser for information.

Refund policies are listed under financial information.

Students demonstrate their intent to withdraw from a course by completing the electronic withdrawal form available in MySCAD. The withdrawal form is processed automatically, and withdrawal is effective immediately upon receipt of the request by the registrar’s office. If for any reason the automated process is not available, students should contact the office of the registrar immediately at registrar@scad.edu.

Withdrawals are final and students may not return to the same course from which they have withdrawn. Withdrawal from a course results in a grade of W, and no credit is earned. Thus, it does not calculate into the student’s grade-point average.

A student who is found to be in violation of the academic integrity policy forfeits the right to withdraw from the course.

Note that the ability to withdraw from the course is suspended as soon as the instructor notifies the student and/or the registrar of concerns about academic integrity (see the “Academic Integrity” policy on page 354 for more detailed information).

A student who is withdrawing from SCAD altogether must complete a withdrawal form for each course in which he or she is registered, have an exit interview with a staff adviser, officially drop any courses for which he or she may be preregistered in the subsequent quarter, return his or her student identification card and, if residing in SCAD housing, return all room keys to the office of residence life and housing.

SCAD.EDU / POLICIES

Auditing Currently enrolled degree-seeking, nondegree-seeking or transient students who wish to enroll in a course, but do not want to receive a grade, may request through the registrar to audit the course, provided space is available. Auditing status is reflected by N on the grade report. Students must be eligible to register for the course they wish to audit. Degree-seeking students should consult a staff adviser before requesting to audit a course to determine the effect this may have on financial aid and scholarship status and awards.

ARCHE cross-registration SCAD is a member of the Atlanta Regional Council for Higher Education (ARCHE). The ARCHE cross-registration process facilitates enrollment in courses offered at all member colleges and universities. Students at ARCHE member institutions have the opportunity to broaden their range of study through access to courses not offered at their home institution. SCAD students who wish to participate in the cross-registration program must submit an application to the registrar’s office.

Approval for cross-registration does not guarantee placement in courses at the host institution. More information about ARCHE is available online at atlantahighered.org.

Internships Internships offer undergraduate and graduate students valuable opportunities to work in a professional environment and gain firsthand experience to help them prepare for careers.

In an approved internship setting, a student typically spends one quarter working with an on-site professional supervisor and a faculty internship supervisor to achieve specific goals and objectives related to the program of study. Internships may be undertaken on a credit or non-credit basis and may be paid or unpaid.

An undergraduate student seeking an internship for credit must have completed a minimum of 90 credit hours, or have completed 75 credit hours and be registered in 15 credit hours in the current quarter, with a cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.0. A graduate student seeking an internship for credit must have completed at least 15 graduate-level credit hours with a cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.0.

In order to complete registration of the internship for credit, the student must complete the SCAD internship application, including internship start date, duration of internship, number of hours/days per week of employment and any terms of employment. The student must provide the completed internship application signed by the student, the faculty internship supervisor and the department chair, along with a liability waiver signed by the student and payment of tuition.

The internship application must show that the student will have adequate faculty and supervisor contact hours during the 10-week quarter in which the internship is to take place. For both undergraduate and graduate internships, students are required to work a minimum of 150 hours of internship activity.

Graduate teaching internship application materials should be prepared with the supervising professor during the quarter prior to the intended quarter of registration.

Internship applications must be submitted prior to the quarter in which the internship is to be conducted. Students must pay tuition upon submission of the approved

and completed internship application in order to complete registration of the internship for credit.

Independent study Students may wish to earn credit through independent study that allows them to investigate a topic in depth or take advantage of particular resources. An independent study may not be used as a substitute for a course currently offered.

Proposals for independent study must be approved by a faculty member and the department chair, and submitted prior to the start of the quarter in which the independent study is to be conducted. Proposals should present evidence that the independent study requires at least 150 hours of work.

In order to complete registration of the independent study for credit, students also must pay the necessary tuition.

Undergraduate students must have completed at least 90 credit hours with a cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.0 to participate in an independent study; graduate students must have completed at least 15 credit hours of graduate-level courses with a cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.0.

Course schedule changes SCAD reserves the right to cancel a course and change the schedule, location or professor of courses at any time. Students are responsible for checking their schedule prior to the start of each quarter to apprise themselves of any changes.

SCAD students who wish to attend another college or university during their enrollment at SCAD and receive transfer credit may apply for transient status. In order to qualify for transient status, undergraduate students must be in good academic standing and have a minimum grade-point average of 2.0. Graduate students requesting transient status must have a minimum grade-point average of 3.0, and should be advised that transient credit is rare at the graduate level. Students must complete their final 45 hours at SCAD and are not eligible for transient credit during that period. Undergraduate students may transfer no more than 90 total hours of credit, including transient credit.

Students who qualify for transient status must consult with their staff adviser in order to complete a transient status application. A course description or syllabus from each course the student wishes to take will be required. The application is evaluated for eligibility for transfer credit, and the student is notified of the decision within two weeks of application.

This process must be completed before the student begins transient study. Students should also consult with their staff adviser to determine the impact of transient status/credit on their financial aid or scholarship award.

Upon completion of transient study, the student must submit an official transcript from the other institution that reflects the final grade(s) earned in the course(s). These transcripts must be submitted to the transfer admission office by the end of the term immediately following completion of coursework in order for the student to receive transfer of credit. Undergraduate students must earn a minimum grade of C (2.0) for a course to be applied as transfer credit while graduate students must earn a minimum grade of B (3.0). The credit is recorded as T on the transcript and is not calculated into the student’s cumulative GPA.

Undergraduate students who have attended SCAD, but have not been enrolled at SCAD for at least five consecutive quarters, are considered inactive and must apply for readmission and meet current admission requirements in order to return to SCAD. Undergraduate students who have attended another college or university on any basis other than as a transient student must apply for readmission and meet current admission requirements in order to return to SCAD. All readmission applications are evaluated on an individual basis by the Admission Review Committee. Any prior awards of financial aid and/or scholarships may or may not apply. Students should complete new FAFSA forms and resubmit any required materials to be considered for financial aid or scholarship awards. Upon readmission, students must follow the requirements of the current catalog. Graduate students must adhere to the graduate student continuous enrollment policy.

Graduate student continuous enrollment Graduate students must maintain continuous enrollment by completing at least one program fulfillment course in two separate quarters during each 12-month period based on the student’s initial quarter of enrollment until completion of all degree requirements or until the student withdraws by written notification to the office of the registrar. Students who have completed all other requirements for the degree except the thesis component must register for THES 799 Continuing Thesis. Once a student is eligible to enroll in THES 799, he or she must register for this course each fall, winter and spring quarter (up to the five-year degree completion limit) until this degree requirement is met. Students may enroll in THES 799 in summer quarters, but it is optional. Students enrolled in THES 799 maintain their official student ID card and all rights and privileges afforded enrolled students, such as access to facilities and use of equipment and library resources.

International students and online coursework International students attending a SCAD location within the U.S. must follow the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services rules pertaining to online courses. The rules, which are outlined on page 2 of the I-20 visa, include the following regarding registration in online coursework: Registration in an online course is allowed, but 50 percent or more of courses taken in a quarter must be in a classroom (not online). Typically, this means international students can take only one online course out of a total of three courses. For more information on this or other academic matters related to international status, students should contact the International Student Services Office. Students located in Hong Kong may take online courses, if they are not enrolled at SCAD Hong Kong.

Temporary grade of incomplete In the event that a student suffers from serious personal illness or other emergency circumstances and is therefore unable to complete all assignments by the end of the quarter, the student may request a grade of incomplete through the appropriate school dean before the end of the quarter. The student should explain the reason and include documentation of the illness or emergency circumstance. The dean’s decision is final.

Transient status/credit

Inactive status/readmission

A student who is assigned a temporary grade of incomplete is required to complete the remainder of the unfinished work in a satisfactory manner by midterm of the following quarter.

A temporary grade of incomplete automatically changes to an F if the required work is not completed satisfactorily by midterm of the following quarter. A student may not withdraw from a course after receiving a grade of incomplete.

A student who has missed more than four class sessions, 20 percent of classes in a quarter, is not eligible for a grade of incomplete.

Academic standing

ACADEMIC PROGRAMS AND POLICIES

354

Students are expected to make satisfactory progress toward their degrees and are responsible at all times for knowing their academic standing and for fulfilling all requirements of the university by referring to published academic policies, regulations and standards, and by consulting with the appropriate dean, department chair or adviser. Students are responsible for ascertaining and meeting course requirements, prerequisite requirements, graduation requirements, appropriate course sequencing and any other requirements of the university.

At the sole discretion of the university, a student may be placed on academic warning or probation or may be suspended or dismissed for any reason deemed by SCAD officials to be in the best interest of the student or the university as a whole, or if the university determines that the student is not making satisfactory progress toward degree completion.

Good standing For undergraduate students, good academic standing is defined by a 2.0 overall grade-point average. For graduate students, good academic standing is defined by a 3.0 overall grade-point average.

Academic warning An undergraduate student whose term grade-point average falls below 2.0 for any quarter or a graduate student whose term grade-point average falls below 3.0 for any quarter receives a warning that his or her academic status is unsatisfactory.

Probation An undergraduate student whose term grade-point average falls below 2.0 for two consecutive quarters or a graduate student whose term grade-point average falls below 3.0 for two consecutive quarters is placed on academic probation and is notified by the university. Students who are placed on probation must meet with their staff adviser before the end of the second week of the next quarter to establish a success plan. Students on probation may not withdraw from any course and must abide by the terms outlined in their probation letter. Undergraduate students are removed from probation when they achieve a term grade-point average of at least 2.0; graduate students are removed from probation when they achieve a term grade-point average of at least 3.0.

An undergraduate or graduate student enrolled in ESL coursework who does not successfully complete the same ESL course for two consecutive quarters is placed on academic probation and is notified by the university. Students who are placed on probation must work with the SCAD Language Studio to establish a success plan by the second week of the next quarter. Students on probation may not withdraw

SCAD.EDU / POLICIES

from any coursework and must abide by the terms outlined in their probation letter. Students are removed from probation when they successfully complete the ESL course that they had previously failed.

Suspension An undergraduate student whose term grade-point average falls below 2.0 for three consecutive quarters is suspended from the university for one calendar year. After that time, the student may submit a written petition to return to SCAD by emailing academicappeals@scad.edu. The petition should include all potential justification for continued enrollment at SCAD, including, but not limited to, counseling, tutoring, medical treatment or academic success programming.

Reinstatement is not guaranteed.

If the student is reinstated, he or she returns with the status “reinstated on probation” for the first quarter. This status requires that the student complete all classes attempted, earn a grade-point average of 2.0 or greater, meet with a staff adviser prior to registering for classes and complete an academic success program as outlined in the reinstatement letter. This may include the requirement to register for specific courses or to take a reduced course load. Failure to meet the minimum 2.0 grade-point average results in dismissal.

A graduate student whose term grade-point average falls below 3.0 for three consecutive quarters is dismissed from SCAD and is not reinstated.

An undergraduate or graduate student enrolled in ESL coursework who does not successfully complete the same ESL course for three consecutive quarters is suspended from the university for one calendar year. After that time, the student may submit a written petition to return to SCAD by emailing academicappeals@scad.edu. The petition should include all potential justification for continued enrollment at SCAD, including, but not limited to, counseling, tutoring, medical treatment or academic success programming. Reinstatement is not guaranteed.

If the student is reinstated, he or she returns with the status “reinstated on probation” for the first quarter. This status requires that the student successfully complete all ESL courses attempted, meet with the SCAD Language Studio prior to registering for courses and complete a success plan as outlined in the reinstatement letter. Failure to successfully complete the success plan, as outlined in the reinstatement letter, results in dismissal.

Dismissal A student who has been suspended and reinstated and does not meet satisfactory academic progress during the first quarter of his or her return is dismissed from the university.

Academic integrity Under all circumstances, students are expected to be honest in their dealings with faculty, administrative staff and other students. For purposes of this policy, the term faculty or faculty member includes any person engaged by the university to act in a teaching capacity, regardless of the person’s actual title.

In speaking with members of the SCAD community, students must give an accurate representation of the facts at hand.

Failure to do so is considered a breach of the Student Code of Conduct and may result in sanctions against the student, including suspension or dismissal.

Complaints and appeals Students are encouraged to resolve any concerns they may have by directly contacting the office or persons responsible for the area relevant to the concern or complaint (e.g., housing/residence director for residence hall complaints; professor or academic chair for academic complaints). If unsure about the proper way to address complaints, students should

contact the ombudsman (ombudsman@scad.edu). As a neutral party, the ombudsman may seek additional information about the situation, assist with appropriate communication and mediate disputes.

If unable to satisfactorily resolve issues directly with the relevant office or persons or through the office of the ombudsman, the student may submit a formal written complaint using the procedures referenced herein.

SCAD student complaint and appeal policies apply uniformly across SCAD locations and learning modalities. The university protects its students’ right to lodge complaints and appeals according to these procedures and seeks to resolve all student concerns fairly and in a timely manner.

The information described herein is a general overview of the policies and procedures for filing complaints and appeals at SCAD. Students are strongly encouraged to consult the student handbook in its entirety and/or MySCAD for information regarding specific complaint and appeal procedures.

Complaints and appeals in the areas of academics and/ or grades, general non-academic, student conduct and/or disciplinary action, Americans with Disabilities Act, sexual discrimination and sexual misconduct, discrimination, and financial aid must be in writing and in accordance with established university procedures, which are published as follows.

Procedures for academic complaints and appeals Complaints and appeals concerning academic matters must be submitted in writing to the SCAD chief academic officer (for SCAD Savannah, SCAD Lacoste and SCAD eLearning) or the vice president for SCAD Atlanta or the vice president for SCAD Hong Kong via email to academicappeals@scad.edu, in accordance with the policy set forth below. The complaint or appeal must be submitted from the student’s SCAD email address and include the student’s full name, student ID number and phone number. The complaint or appeal must be submitted within 30 calendar days of the incident and describe the issue of concern in detail, include relevant information or documentation, and indicate the desired outcome. The chief academic officer, vice president for SCAD Atlanta or vice president for SCAD Hong Kong shall determine the final action and will respond to the student within 30 calendar days of receipt of the complaint or appeal.

Academic policy appeals Academic policy appeals are written student requests for exceptions to SCAD academic policies. Students should address all academic policy appeals to the chief academic officer via email to academicappeals@scad.edu. Appeals must be made within 30 calendar days of notification of the action or decision. A decision from the chief academic officer regarding the appeal is made in writing to the student within 30 calendar days following receipt of the appeal or receipt of additional information. The decision is final.

Academic integrity appeals The student has five business days from the date on the written notice within which to appeal the decision of the investigator. Students who wish to appeal should do so by emailing academicappeals@scad.edu. An appeals committee then convenes to review the case. Findings are presented to the chief academic officer or the relevant vice president, who then sends the student a decision in writing within 30 calendar days of the written appeal. The decision is final.

SCAD.EDU / POLICIES

355

ACADEMIC PROGRAMS AND POLICIES

In course assignments, students must submit work that fairly and accurately reflects their level of accomplishment.

Any work that is not a product of the student’s own efforts is considered dishonest. Students must not engage in academic dishonesty; doing so can have serious consequences. Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, the following: 1. Cheating, which includes, but is not limited to, a) the giving or receiving of any unauthorized assistance in producing assignments or taking quizzes, tests or examinations; b) dependence on the aid of sources including technology beyond those authorized by the instructor in writing papers, preparing reports, solving problems or carrying out other assignments; c) the acquisition, without permission, of tests or other academic material belonging to a member of the university faculty or staff; or d) the use of unauthorized assistance in the preparation of works of art.

2. Plagiarism, which includes, but is not limited to, the use, by paraphrase or direct quotation, of the published or unpublished work of another person without full and clear acknowledgment. Plagiarism also includes the unacknowledged use of materials prepared by another person or agency engaged in the selling of term papers or other academic materials.

3. Submission of the same work in two or more courses without prior written approval of the professors of the courses involved.

4. Submission of any work not actually produced by the student submitting the work without full and clear written acknowledgment of the actual author or creator of the work.

If a faculty member suspects a student of academic dishonesty, the faculty member notifies the student of this concern.

Once this notification has occurred, the student is prohibited from seeking to withdraw from the course pending the result of a possible investigation. If academic dishonesty is suspected, the faculty member must email all evidence and documentation to academicdishonesty@scad.edu.

An academic administrator is appointed to investigate the allegation. If, as a result, the investigator finds that academic dishonesty has occurred, the student is informed in writing that he or she will receive an F in the course. The student has five business days from the date on the written notice within which to appeal the decision of the investigator. If no appeal is made, the student is assigned a grade of F in the course and the student forfeits the right to continue to attend the course in which the academic dishonesty occurred. Students wishing to appeal should do so by emailing academicappeals@ scad.edu. An appeals committee then convenes to review the case. Findings are presented to the chief academic officer, who sends the student a final decision in writing within 30 days of the written appeal. A student found to be in violation of the academic integrity policy may not withdraw from the course(s) in question. Additional sanctions may also be imposed, including suspension or dismissal. A second finding of academic dishonesty may result in dismissal from SCAD.

Grade appeals Concerns regarding final grades must be addressed directly with the faculty member issuing the grade or, if necessary, with the faculty member’s department chair. A review of the student’s grade is conducted to validate the grade assignment. The department chair and school dean must authorize any grade change due to numerical miscalculation by the faculty member issuing the grade.

If, after this review, the student is not satisfied, he or she may file a written appeal with the chief academic officer (for SCAD Savannah, SCAD Lacoste and SCAD eLearning) or the vice president for SCAD Atlanta or the vice president for SCAD Hong Kong via email to academicappeals@scad.edu.

This appeal must include evidence of correspondence with all previous parties and should be submitted within 30 calendar days following the last day of the quarter. The student’s grade appeal will be routed to the appropriate SCAD administrator for investigation. A decision from academic services regarding the appeal is made in writing to the student within 30 calendar days following receipt of the appeal. The decision is final.

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act affords students certain rights with respect to their education records.

They are: 1. The right to inspect and review the student’s education records within 45 days of the date SCAD receives a request for access. Students should submit to the registrar written requests that identify the record(s) they wish to inspect.

The registrar makes arrangements for access and notifies the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the registrar, the registrar shall advise the student of the correct official to whom the request should be addressed. That official makes arrangements for access and notifies the student of when and where the records may be inspected.

2. The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that the student believes are inaccurate or

Retaking a course Students may retake a course by registering for the course and paying tuition for that course again. While all grades remain on the transcript, the student only receives credit once for the course. Only the highest grade is calculated into the cumulative and/or major grade-point average.

ACADEMIC PROGRAMS AND POLICIES

Admission appeals Applicants may appeal admission decisions only once. Those who wish to appeal an admission decision must submit the following to the admission appeal committee: 1. A letter of appeal written by the applicant, specifying the reason(s) for the appeal, with the applicant’s identification number provided.

2. Any updated academic or artistic work that would be relevant to an appeal. Portfolios must be submitted through SlideRoom. Graduate applicants appealing admission decisions must submit portfolio materials that follow their intended major program guidelines.

3. At least one recommendation from a teacher, coach, guidance or career counselor or other mentor/supervisor.

Graduate applicants should submit an additional letter of reference from an academic or professional source.

All documents must be submitted together with the letter of appeal in order to be considered. The deadline to appeal is 30 calendar days prior to intended enrollment at SCAD. The admission appeal committee may consist of admission staff and administrators. Appeals are considered in the order in which they are received; a final decision is rendered to the applicant within 14 calendar days of receipt of the complete appeal.

Applicants seeking appeals on the basis of financial need should contact the admission department. Appeal documents may be delivered in person, by email to admission@scad.edu or by mail to:

misleading. A student who believes records are inaccurate or misleading should write to the registrar, clearly identify the part of the record he or she wants changed and document why it is inaccurate or misleading. If SCAD decides not to amend the record as requested by the student, SCAD notifies the student of the decision and advises the student of his or her right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding hearing procedures is provided to the student at that time.

3. The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student’s education records (a student consents by completing and submitting an electronic FERPA form via MySCAD), except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. One exception, which permits disclosure without consent, is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the university in a supervisory, administrative, academic, research or support staff position (including law enforcement personnel and health staff); a person or company with whom the university has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor or collection agent); a person serving on the Board of Trustees; or a student serving on an official committee, such as disciplinary or grievance committees, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility. Upon request, the university discloses a student’s education records to officials of another school in which a student seeks or intends to enroll without the student’s prior consent. The university also discloses directory information in a student’s education record unless written notice is received from the student that the student does not wish to be included in the disclosure of directory information. Written notice should be sent to the registrar’s office (registrar@scad.edu).

Directory information includes the student’s name, email address, telephone listing, date and place of birth, major field of study, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height of members of athletic teams, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, most recent previous educational agency or institution attended, and photograph.

The name and address of the office that administers the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act is as follows: Family Policy Compliance Office U.S. Department of Education 400 Maryland Ave. SW Washington, DC 20202-5920

Certificate completion requirements

Graduate candidacy

To earn an undergraduate certificate, students must complete all courses required for the certificate, maintaining at least a 2.0 grade-point average in those courses. To earn a graduate certificate, students must complete all courses required for the certificate, maintaining at least a 3.0 grade-point average in those courses. Current students may pursue a certificate by contacting their staff adviser. Additional coursework may be required to earn a certificate concurrent with a degree.

At the approximate midpoint of each graduate student’s course of study, the student must pass a faculty review for candidacy. In order to be reviewed, the student must have met all requirements for the program up to that point with a grade-point average of at least 3.0 in the major.

In the candidacy review, the faculty assesses the student’s complete body of work, as well as the student’s readiness to continue in the program and succeed in the field upon graduation. Reviews are structured according to the discipline and degree program, assessing evidence of knowledge of historical methodology, logical thought and original ideas, as well as aesthetic considerations. Candidates should demonstrate strong fundamental art and design skills, performance skills, technical proficiency, and/or strong academic and research proficiency required of the discipline and degree program.

Academic performance, as demonstrated by individual course grades, also serves as an indication of a student’s readiness to proceed to candidacy. Students who experience academic difficulty should consult with their department chair or graduate coordinator. Additional guidelines for the candidacy review can be found on the graduate studies website in MySCAD. Students who do not pass the review for candidacy during their initial attempt may have a second review. Any student who does not pass the second review may not be allowed to continue in the program.

Bachelor’s degree graduation requirements

ACADEMIC PROGRAMS AND POLICIES

358

Bachelor’s degrees are awarded to students who have earned a minimum of 180 quarter hours (equivalent to 120 semester credit hours) of appropriate credit in an approved program of study, with an overall cumulative grade-point average of 2.0 or higher, as well as a 3.0 or higher in their major or concentration. Students pursuing a minor must earn a grade-point average of 2.0 or higher in their minor program. To graduate with a double major, students must maintain a minimum grade-point average of 3.0 in each major and a minimum overall grade-point average of 2.0.

Student liability

Continued enrollment after degree completion

Copyright compliance

Students who wish to continue to take courses after completion of degree requirements should meet with a staff adviser to discuss options for further study, such as the addition of a second major or continuation to a master’s degree program.

To pursue a second degree, the student must apply through the admission department and be admitted to a new degree program, or apply through the admission department and be admitted as nondegree-seeking. Otherwise, the student is automatically dropped from courses by the registrar. Financial aid and scholarship awards may be affected by continued enrollment after degree completion.

SCAD is committed to complying with the United States Copyright Act. Thus, the SCAD Copyright Compliance Policy encourages and promotes legitimate use of copyrighted materials by faculty members, staff members and students. SCAD expects all faculty members, staff members and students to comply with the Copyright Act and this policy. Compliance is particularly important with respect to digital technology. The complete policy, as well as copyright compliance guidelines, is available at scad.edu/about/scad-glance/disclosures-and-policies/ compliance-and-policies/copyright-compliance-policy.

Undergraduate application requirements

SCAD is committed to the pursuit of excellence and welcomes applicants who have the same high standards. SCAD maintains selective admission policies, accounting for a student body of varied backgrounds with demonstrated intellectual capacity and a passion for the arts. Applicants who meet or exceed the minimum admission requirements are not guaranteed admission. Exceptions to the general rules of admission may be made for applicants of unusual motivation and ability.

Application materials cannot be returned.

New students may enter fall (September), winter (January), spring (March) or summer (June), although most students begin in September. Summer course offerings may be limited. Online applications are available at scad.edu/apply.

As soon as all required application materials are received, the Admission Review Committee considers the applicant’s qualifications and renders an admission decision. The applicant is notified accordingly.

Early application is encouraged. Applications for admission are accepted at any time of year and should be received at least 30 days prior to the intended quarter of entry. Students needing a visa are encouraged to apply and submit all required documents for admission at least 90 days prior to the intended quarter of entry.

These students also should complete the SCAD application for admission and submit all financial aid information at least 60 days prior to the intended entry term. Otherwise, these students should be prepared to pay first-quarter tuition, room and board through personal funds, as processing of federal or state monies may not be completed until after enrollment.

The administrative unit responsible for freshman, transfer and graduate admission decisions is the Admission Review Committee, which consists of admission staff and administrators. Faculty members in the intended area of study also participate in review of applicants for graduate programs.

The committee meets regularly to review applications and to render admission decisions on completed application files.

SCAD reserves the right to verify all documents submitted in support of an application for admission. Any falsification of admission documents, portfolio or audition materials constitutes grounds for termination of application procedures or dismissal from SCAD. Permanent residents must submit proof of legal residency such as a copy of the resident alien card.

Students planning to attend a SCAD location in a country where citizenship or permanent residency is not already established may need to apply for a student visa. Information is provided during the admission process.

ADMISSION

Undergraduate transfer credits After an undergraduate transfer applicant is accepted for admission, official transcripts showing completed collegiate coursework are evaluated by the admission office to determine whether or not the student may be granted advanced standing. The coursework must be found to be relevant to the degree the student is seeking at SCAD, with course content and level of instruction resulting in student competencies comparable to or higher than those of students enrolled at SCAD. In assessing and documenting comparable learning through course content and level of instruction, SCAD uses recognized guidelines that aid in the evaluation of credit, such as those published by the American Council on Education and the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers. This policy is consistent with the mission of SCAD and ensures that coursework and learning outcomes are at the collegiate level and comparable to SCAD degree programs.

Generally, transfer credit may be accepted from institutions that are approved by the U.S. Department of Education and hold regional accreditation, or have appropriate specialized or programmatic accreditation, or have been evaluated and proven to be comparable in course content and level of instruction to SCAD, or are recognized by the ministry of education or equivalent agency in the applicant’s home country. Course content is evaluated by comparing the curricula of other institutions with that of SCAD and assessing whether foundation studies, general education and major discipline courses are comparable to those offered at SCAD. Level of instruction is evaluated by comparing the percentage of faculty at other institutions who hold graduate and terminal degrees with the percentage of faculty at SCAD who hold graduate and terminal degrees.

Students who wish to appeal the decision of SCAD regarding transfer of credit from international institutions may provide an outside credential evaluation; SCAD reserves the right to make the final determination of transfer credit. A list of acceptable outside evaluators may be obtained from the admission department.

A maximum of 90 quarter hours of undergraduate credit for a bachelor’s degree may be given for courses appropriate

to the SCAD curriculum. Only courses with a final grade of 2.0 (C) or higher may be transferred for undergraduate credit. Failure to submit an updated transcript may result in loss of transfer credit.

A portfolio review is required for final transfer credit determination of specific studio courses before or during the student’s first quarter of enrollment. To receive specific studio course credit, students must follow the portfolio submission criteria and guidelines available through the admission department. Additionally, a review of all course syllabuses may be required. Portfolios are reviewed by faculty members from the applicable department. Transfer credit is granted when the quality of work in the portfolio is found to be at least equivalent to that which would earn a grade of 2.0 (C) or higher in an equivalent or comparable course at SCAD. Failure to submit a portfolio during the first quarter of enrollment results in the loss of opportunity to transfer studio credit. Transfer of credits earned in a distance-learning program is evaluated on a case-by-case, course-by-course basis.

Students who wish to appeal the transfer credit process after the first quarter of enrollment must submit a written request to the admission department. Transfer credit appears on the transcript as T and is not calculated in the student’s grade-point average. The final 45 hours of any degree program must be earned at SCAD. Study abroad programs offered by SCAD and SCAD eLearning courses are considered in residence and may be counted as such.

credit from all sources (including AS-level) may not exceed 90 quarter hours. A chart of credit awarded is available at scad.edu/aslevel.

Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination The Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination indicates a level of achievement that may qualify a student for advanced standing. Credit is awarded for CAPE if certain requirements are met. Credit awarded by another college or university for CAPE is not transferable without proper documentation.

Official CAPE scores must be submitted to the admission department. Credit is awarded on a selective basis. A maximum of 45 quarter hours of CAPE credit may be awarded.

Undergraduate portfolio, audition and writing guidelines Undergraduate portfolios, auditions, writing and riding submissions are accepted from applicants who wish to be considered for achievement scholarships. Applicants may submit any type of work, regardless of the major they are interested in pursuing. All portfolio types should showcase the applicant’s best work, presented as professionally as possible. Portfolios should demonstrate the applicant’s interest in and aptitude for advanced study and, specifically, potential for success at SCAD. Applicants are encouraged to submit only their best work.

It is not necessary to add extra work if it is not consistently strong. Applicants should not submit work copied from film, television, photographs, magazine/book illustrations or other sources. All materials submitted should be clearly labeled with the applicant’s name and contact information.

Application materials cannot be returned.

Portfolio submission Applicants must use the online file management system SlideRoom if they wish to submit a portfolio for review. From SlideRoom (scad.slideroom.com), applicants can upload still images, Word documents, and digital and multimedia files.

There also are instructions for creating a corresponding inventory of work (required) including titles, dates, media,

dimensions and specific responsibilities on group projects, if applicable. A fee of US$10 is charged by SlideRoom for each portfolio submission. More information is available online at scad.edu/portfolio.

Portfolio-based course exemption New admitted students may request and submit documentation for portfolio-based course exemption through the admission department. Currently enrolled students should request and submit documentation for portfoliobased course exemption to the appropriate department chair. Documentation should demonstrate mastery of skills and sufficient knowledge of content taught in a specific university-level course. A student who is exempted from a required course does not earn academic credit for that course but may substitute a course from the same subject area as approved by the department chair to fulfill the number of hours required to complete degree requirements.

Graduate admission SCAD encourages applications from students who demonstrate successful completion of appropriate coursework at the undergraduate level and adequate preparedness to undertake graduate-level study. Applicants must hold a bachelor’s degree or should anticipate completion of a bachelor’s degree before enrollment in the graduate program. All applicants are evaluated individually according to previous educational experience and level of achievement.

Graduate students apply for and are accepted into specific disciplines. Students who wish to change from one discipline to another must meet all admission requirements for the new discipline.

For graduate students entering the professional architecture program from preparatory or preprofessional programs, required credit hours are determined on an individual basis, dependent upon review of the student’s academic transcripts and portfolio by SCAD architecture faculty. Students may be assigned preparatory (preliminary) courses from the SCAD B.F.A. program in addition to two years of graduate study.

The graduate admission review ensures that the undergraduate coursework of all applicants to the professional M.Arch. program is evaluated according to the NAAB student performance criteria required at the preprofessional level.

Graduate admission with intensive graduate-level coursework Intensive graduate-level coursework provides a bridge for academically qualified graduate students who need additional practical skills, contextual knowledge or studio work in order to prepare for the rigorous specialized disciplines offered at SCAD. Upon admission, graduate students may be assigned an intensive program of up to 15 additional hours (three courses) in their course of study. Intensive programming may not be offered every quarter or at every SCAD location and, thus, may change a student’s entry term and intended location. Intensive graduate-level courses may be assigned in addition to preliminary undergraduate courses. I-20 forms cannot be issued to international students who are assigned preliminary undergraduate courses.

Graduate admission with required preliminary undergraduate courses In some cases, graduate applicants may be required to take preliminary undergraduate courses prior to entering their graduate course of study. Graduate applicants who are assigned undergraduate preliminary courses prior to their graduate course of study must complete these undergraduate courses with a grade-point average of 3.0 or higher in each assigned course. After the preliminary courses are completed satisfactorily, these students are admitted as graduate students and are approved to proceed with the intended graduate course of study. Preliminary undergraduate courses may be assigned in addition to intensive graduate-level courses.

Courses are assigned by the Admission Review Committee on the basis of the student’s prior educational experience, level of achievement, and the desired program of study.

Students who seek exemption from any assigned preliminary course or any intensive graduate course must provide documentation to the admission department that demonstrates mastery of skills and sufficient knowledge of content taught in the specific preliminary or intensive course. A student who is granted exemption does not receive credit for the course, but the course is eliminated from the student’s preliminary or intensive course requirements.

Graduate application requirements 1. Completed application for admission.

2. Nonrefundable application fee (US$40).

3. A bachelor’s degree or its equivalent.* Graduate applicants may receive a preliminary offer of admission based upon unofficial transcripts/mark sheets from all postsecondary institutions attended.** If an offer of admission is made, official transcripts/mark sheets from each college/ university attended should be received prior to Aug. 1 for fall enrollment.

Two letters of recommendation from professors, advisers, supervisors or community leaders who have had immediate contact with the applicant and who have knowledge of the applicant’s level of commitment and history of achievement. Recommendations should provide relevant information about the applicant’s creativity, initiative, motivation, character and achievements, thus assessing the applicant’s reasonable potential for success as a student at SCAD. Recommendations may not come from friends or family members.

6. Statement of purpose.

The statement should be a 500- to 750-word overview of the applicant’s academic and professional accomplishments and should demonstrate a high level of interest in and a highly developed understanding of the discipline.

The applicant should describe knowledge of the discipline, approach to past work, qualifications for graduate study and intended focus, as well as personal and professional goals.

7. Portfolio, audition or writing submission.

The portfolio should be specific to the intended course of study, should represent the applicant’s best work and should demonstrate a high level of skill presented as professionally as possible. (See graduate audition, portfolio and writing guidelines.)

The résumé should document educational credentials as well as professional and other employment, such as internships or field experience in the intended area of graduate study, and should list commissioned works, exhibitions, performances, publications, honors, memberships, interests and activities, including volunteer work.

9. GRE scores.

While not required of most applicants, submission of GRE scores is strongly encouraged for applicants to architectural history, art history, business design and arts leadership and cinema studies. Performance on the GRE may assist in demonstrating adequate educational preparation and ability to succeed in academic coursework at the graduate level.

Applicants whose bachelor’s degrees are conferred by institutions that are not approved by the U.S. Department of Education and/or do not hold regional accreditation, or do not have appropriate specialized or programmatic accreditation, or have not been evaluated and proven comparable in course content and level of instruction to SCAD, or are not recognized by the ministry of education or equivalent agency in the applicant’s home country, are required to take the GRE and submit official scores to SCAD. 10.

11. In-person or telephone interview optional (may be scheduled by contacting the admission department) Exceptions to the general rules of admission may be made for applicants of unusual motivation and ability. Application materials cannot be returned. * SCAD uses the standards established by the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers to determine the equivalent academic achievement of a bachelor’s degree. Transcripts are evaluated to determine the conferment of bachelor’s degrees from institutions that are approved by the U.S. Department of Education and hold regional accreditation, or have appropriate specialized or programmatic accreditation, or have been evaluated and proven to have comparable course content and level of instruction to SCAD, or are recognized by the ministry of education or equivalent agency in the applicant’s home country. Course content is evaluated by comparing the curricula of other institutions with that of SCAD and assessing whether foundation studies, general education and major discipline courses are comparable to those offered at SCAD. Level of instruction is evaluated by comparing the percentage of faculty at other institutions who hold graduate and terminal degrees with the percentage of faculty at SCAD who hold graduate and terminal degrees. ** Non-U.S. students refer to the international applicant section on page 367 for details. *** English is the language of instruction for all courses at SCAD. In addition to meeting or exceeding all other SCAD admission criteria, applicants who wish to be admitted with no further English proficiency requirements must demonstrate their current level of proficiency by providing official minimum scores on one of the following or will be required to take an Accuplacer ESL test at orientation prior to the first day of classes: • Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) minimum scores (SCAD code 5631): a. 550 on the paper-based test b. 85 on the internet-based test with minimum score of 20 on each section • International English Language Testing System (IELTS) composite score of at least 6.5 with a score of at least 6.5 in both speaking and writing • American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) score of at least “high advanced” on the writing proficiency portion of the test • Graduate Record Examination (GRE) verbal section score of at least 500 (for tests taken before Aug. 1, 2011) or 153 (for tests taken after Aug. 1, 2011).

Otherwise qualified applicants who do not meet the minimum scores listed above must take a SCAD English language proficiency test to be placed in the appropriate level of ESL upon enrollment. Students must satisfactorily complete ESL coursework through completion of Level VI. For applicants whose native language is English, no additional proof of English proficiency is required. For applicants whose transcripts show extensive study in an institution at which English is the language of instruction, no additional proof of English proficiency is required for admission evaluation, but applicants may be asked to take an English proficiency test upon enrollment at the university. **** Official certification of sources and funds, a copy of the first page of the applicant’s passport (requested but not required), and a copy of the first page of the passport for

any dependent accompanying the student. These documents are used to verify spelling of names, birth dates, and other information vital to student registration.

Graduate audition, portfolio and writing guidelines Graduate audition, portfolio or writing submissions are required for graduate enrollment and scholarship consideration. Portfolios should be specific to the intended course of study, should represent the applicant’s best work and should be presented as professionally as possible. Portfolios should demonstrate the applicant’s interest in and aptitude for advanced study and, specifically, potential for success at SCAD. Portfolio submission Applicants must use the online file management system SlideRoom to submit their portfolios for review. From the SlideRoom website (scad.slideroom.com), applicants can upload still images, Word documents, and digital and multimedia files. There also are instructions for creating a corresponding inventory of work (required) including titles, dates, media, dimensions and specific responsibilities on group projects, if applicable. A fee of US$10 is charged

by SlideRoom for each portfolio submission. Graduate applicants should submit at least 20 images or documents.

Specific criteria for each program are published online at scad.edu/portfolio.

Graduate combined credit Graduate courses from a previously awarded SCAD graduate degree may be combined in a new program of study. Graduate combined credit must meet the requirements of the new program of study and may be allowed on a case-by-case basis.

SCAD welcomes students from throughout the world. International applicants should adhere to requirements relevant to first-year freshman, undergraduate transfer or graduate applicants. International applicants must submit official transcripts/mark sheets for an admission decision to be rendered. Students may submit transcripts/mark sheets from all secondary school years prior to the final year to receive a preliminary offer of admission. SCAD is authorized under federal law to enroll nonimmigrant international students who show evidence of proficiency in the English language and who certify means of financial support for their studies. Documentation of financial support for the first year is required for SCAD to begin the process for an international applicant to obtain a visa. Submission of official certification of sources and funds at the time of application is strongly encouraged and may expedite the visa process. SCAD eLearning applicants residing outside the U.S. are not required to submit certification of sources and funds. Applicants from mainland China may submit gaokao scores for consideration of admission. Preference will be given to students who score at or above the second tier cutoff score for their respective province. Applicants must also demonstrate proof of English proficiency. Applicants from mainland China who have not taken the gaokao or do not place in the top third for their province are encouraged to submit supplementary materials.

Although international students are not eligible to receive U.S. federal or state financial aid, all admitted students are considered for institutional scholarships upon receipt of relevant materials. These funds are limited and are awarded to the earliest qualifiers.

SCAD reserves the right to verify all documents submitted in support of an application for admission. Any falsification of admission documents or portfolio or audition materials constitutes grounds for termination of application procedures or dismissal from SCAD. Permanent residents must submit proof of legal residency such as a copy of a resident alien card. A copy of the first page of each international applicant’s passport is requested, though not required. A copy of the first page of the passport for any dependent accompanying the international applicant also is requested. These documents are used to verify spelling of names, birth dates and other information vital to student registration. In order to help students avoid unexpected costs of health care, SCAD requires all enrolled international students on F-1 visas to have adequate medical insurance. These students must enroll in the SCAD international health insurance plan, and the charges are automatically added to the student account. Exemptions may be granted for students who are already covered under certain government- or embassy-sponsored plans. See scad.edu/isso for additional information and fee structure.

English is the language of instruction for all courses. Proof of English proficiency is required for admission if English is not the student’s first language. For students whose native language is English, or whose academic transcripts show extensive study at an institution in which English is the language of instruction, no additional proof of English proficiency is required for admission evaluation, but applicants may be asked to take an English proficiency test upon enrollment at the university.

ADMISSION

Graduate transfer credits A maximum of 20 quarter hours of graduate academic credit toward a 90-quarter-hour graduate degree may be given for courses appropriate to the SCAD curriculum. Only graduate courses with grades of at least a 3.0 (B) taken at institutions with a level of graduate course content and level of instruction comparable to that of SCAD may be transferred. Credit may be accepted from institutions that are approved by the U.S. Department of Education and hold regional accreditation, or have appropriate specialized or programmatic accreditation, or have been evaluated and proven to be comparable in course content and level of instruction to SCAD, or are recognized by the ministry of education or equivalent agency in the applicant’s home country. Prior to the end of the first quarter of enrollment, the student must submit to the admission department official transcripts, course descriptions, a portfolio or, in the case of a lecture course, projects and papers, and a written request for transfer credit review for the course(s) the student wishes to transfer. Materials are reviewed to determine if the work is comparable to that which would earn at least a 3.0 in a SCAD graduate-level course. Transfer credit appears on the transcript as such and is not calculated in the student’s grade-point average. Students who wish to appeal the transfer credit process after the first quarter of enrollment must submit a written request to the admission department.

International applicants

Otherwise qualified applicants who do not meet minimum required test scores may be considered for admission to SCAD. These students must take a SCAD English language proficiency test to be placed in the appropriate level of ESL upon enrollment. Students must satisfactorily complete ESL coursework through completion of Level VI. All new international students who are not granted a waiver from ESL are required to take an English language proficiency test upon arrival at SCAD. Students are placed in the appropriate level of English as a Second Language, as determined by their scores on the test. Students wishing only to take ESL courses must submit a separate application form and should contact the admission office for information.

Other types of admission Certificate Applicants to an undergraduate certificate program should follow the application guidelines for first-time freshman or transfer applicants. Applicants to graduate certificate programs should follow the application guidelines for graduate degree applicants.

SCHOLARSHIPS SCHOLARSHIPS AND GRANTS FOR ENTERING UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS (nonrepayable funds)

SCHOLARSHIPS

370

Through the admission office, SCAD administers a number of scholarships for entering students. Scholarship recipients are expected to be particularly strong and positive leaders at SCAD, excelling academically and representing SCAD well within the community. Scholarships are available to both U.S. citizens and non-U.S. citizens and are awarded to entering students prior to first-quarter attendance.

Entering students may be offered a scholarship from SCAD based on demonstrated academic achievements and/ or other achievements, including leadership, volunteer and community service, co-curricular involvement, and artistic accomplishment. Financial need, as indicated by completion of the FAFSA or other documentation, is taken into consideration for need-based scholarships. A scholarship recipient may accept additional scholarships from other sources, as well as additional forms of financial aid, if qualified. Most scholarships are awarded to degree-seeking students, are applied quarterly, and may be renewed quarterly through completion of a bachelor’s degree (or up to 225 attempted hours) as long as the recipient remains enrolled and maintains a cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.0. Students who plan to pursue a double major or multiple minors should meet with a staff adviser to determine if aid is sufficient.

An annual award is intended to be disbursed over 45 hours of credit earned in three quarters at SCAD and, if necessary, prorated based on enrollment. Students may qualify for more than one scholarship and may receive a combined total up to the cost of tuition. All undergraduate applicants are considered for scholarship as part of the admission process. Notification of awards occurs along with or soon after notification of acceptance, when appropriate.

SCAD scholarship offers for undergraduate students vary according to whether students reside in SCAD housing. A scholarship student who accepts an on-campus award as an entering student, but moves out of SCAD student housing at any time, is considered to be declining the on-campus award amount and accepting the off-campus award, thus reducing his or her award to 70 percent of the on-campus award amount. Therefore, a balance due may be created.

These students must resolve any resulting charges incurred with the SCAD student accounts office.

Academic honors scholarships A limited number of academic honors scholarships may be awarded to accepted students based on grade-point averages evaluated on a 4.0 scale and/or standardized test scores (SAT scores evaluated on a scale of 1600; ACT scores on a scale of 36) with consideration given to math and reading sections of the SAT and the ACT composite score. The scholarship may be renewed quarterly through completion of a bachelor’s degree (or up to 225 attempted hours) as long as the recipient remains enrolled and maintains a cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.0. Academic honors scholarships may be awarded in addition to other awards, up to the cost of tuition.

Disbursement schedule for financial aid funds Disbursement of financial aid funds begins following the drop/ add period each quarter. The following information is important to the disbursement of financial aid, is in compliance with federal and state regulations and is subject to change.

To be eligible for financial aid funds, students must be enrolled in a degree program and must be enrolled at least half time (some exceptions may apply). Before disbursement of financial aid funds, eligibility is reviewed and necessary adjustments are made based on enrollment, class level and program-specific eligibility requirements. Program-specific requirements include: • Attendance in all registered classes is verified before financial aid is disbursed.

• SCAD academic and achievement scholarships are prorated by the number of credit hours in which the student is enrolled, require a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 for undergraduate students or 3.25 for graduate students, and may be subject to reduction if living off campus.

• HOPE and Zell Miller scholarships (Georgia state aid) are prorated by the number of credit hours in which the student is enrolled through the drop/add period and require at least half-time enrollment.

• GTEG (Georgia state aid) requires full-time enrollment.

• Federal grants are prorated by enrollment and may require at least halftime enrollment.

• Federal loans require at least half-time enrollment. All required documentation, including FAFSA results, must be completed and approval received by SCAD before the loan(s) is disbursed.

• Specific program requirements include the following: – Direct Loan: acceptance through MySCAD, completion of a master promissory note and entrance loan counseling.

– Graduate PLUS Loan: positive credit check, approved loan application and completion of a master promissory note and entrance loan counseling.

– Parent PLUS Loan: positive credit check, approved loan application and completion of a master promissory note.

– Detailed information is available at studentloans.gov.

Loan proceeds are reduced by the federally required loan origination fee. Students without access to the Internet can schedule an appointment with their adviser to complete entrance loan counseling.

– Alternative loans (or private loans) require a positive credit check and generally require at least half-time enrollment (exceptions are program-specific).

Adjustments made when funds are disbursed, or anytime thereafter, can create a balance due on the student’s account, which is immediately due.

Funds are credited to the student account to pay for educational charges incurred. Parent PLUS loans are the last funds to be credited to the student’s account and credit balances resulting from Parent PLUS loan proceeds are refunded to the parent borrower or student if authorization is received.

Refunds After all SCAD charges have been paid, any credit in excess of charges may be refunded. Credit balances created by Federal Title IV aid programs are available for refund to students the second week of each quarter. To claim their refunds, students must have been awarded aid and must meet the enrollment and attendance criteria for their aid programs. SCAD does not provide cash advances prior to the drop/add period. Students must plan ahead and have their own funds available to

purchase books and supplies, pay rent, etc. Students should elect to have their refunds deposited directly into their bank accounts in order to avoid delays in receiving funds. Students can sign up for direct deposit via MySCAD by clicking on the link “Direct Deposit for Student Refunds” located in the My Student Account channel on the My Info tab.

Any refund check that goes uncashed by a student/parent will result in the associated Title IV funds being returned to the federal government as required by Title IV federal student aid regulations.

Book provision Pell Grant recipients may be eligible for finances to purchase books and supplies prior to the end of the first week of class.

To be eligible, students must have received the Pell Grant, must have a Federal Title IV credit balance for the quarter, and must have met all requirements for disbursement 10 calendar days prior to the start of the quarter. Eligibility is reviewed each quarter. The complete book provision policy is available at scad.edu/financialpolicies.

A student may cancel his or her enrollment at any time before the start of the quarter.

A student not requesting cancellation online or through written documentation by the beginning of the quarter is considered enrolled and liable for all fees.

The application fee and one-time new student enrollment fee are retained to cover processing costs and are nonrefundable. The enrollment fee is nontransferable to other students or charges.

If a student is dismissed from SCAD as a result of disciplinary action, he or she is responsible for all tuition and fees (including all unused residence hall fees).

If a student is academically dismissed from SCAD, all payments for tuition, housing and meals for a subsequent quarter are refunded.

A student who withdraws from SCAD during the first 40 percent of the quarter receives a pro rata credit of tuition according to the following schedule.

Withdrawal Credit/refund form received available

Authorization for Disposition of Financial Aid Funds By signing an Authorization for Disposition of Financial Aid Funds form, students or parents authorize SCAD to apply Federal Title IV funds and other financial aid to all legitimate institutional charges, request that SCAD retain credit on their accounts for budgeting purposes, and indicate in whose name refund checks should be issued. Federal Title IV funds include Pell and Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (SEOG) and student and parent federal loans.

Drop for nonpayment SCAD reserves the right to drop any student from registered classes for nonpayment of tuition by the published due dates.

Some states mandate unique refund schedules for eLearning students who are residents of their state. Those statespecific eLearning refund schedules are available at scad.edu/ elearning-state-withdrawal.

Students are entitled to financial aid as long as they are enrolled, provided they meet the related stipulations. In accordance with federal financial aid regulations, length of enrollment each quarter determines whether or not a student has earned the use of all the aid disbursed or scheduled to be disbursed. When a student with federal or state aid withdraws from SCAD, any unearned aid must first be returned to the appropriate aid programs in accordance with federal and state regulations to reduce the overall debt. If any credit remains, it is applied first toward any outstanding charges on the student account. Any remaining credit is then refunded to the student. Requests for refunds sent by mail are dated according to the date received. Payment is made to the student unless the student directs otherwise in writing.

Financial policy for withdrawal It is the responsibility of students who have decided not to attend to drop their classes via MySCAD or notify the office of the registrar in writing prior to the beginning of the quarter in order to avoid being held liable for all fees. Failure to pay fees, not attending classes or informing a faculty member that a student has decided to withdraw do not constitute official forms of notification. After the drop/add period, students should complete a withdrawal form available through the office of the registrar or the office of student success.

The date the withdrawal form is submitted becomes the withdrawal date for computing any tuition credit applied to the student account.

Credit posted to a student’s account is based on the assessment of charges and not on the amount paid by the student or number of classes attended.

FINANCIAL AID Financial aid is made available to qualified students to assist them in paying for their education at SCAD. Financial aid information is updated annually regarding the types and amounts of financial aid available, the process to apply for aid, policies and procedures related to the awarding of financial aid, and disbursement information for each aid program. This information is published on scad.edu/financialaid with links to other applicable sites and publications, such as the Free

Federal aid

U.S. citizens and legal residents who hold a high school diploma or GED may apply for federal aid by filing the Free

SCAD.EDU / SFS

Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) with the federal processing center as soon as possible after Oct. 1 each year. This can be done online at fafsa.gov. The SCAD FAFSA code is 015022.

Beginning in October 2016, federal aid applicants can use their 2015 tax return to complete the FAFSA. SCAD processes federal aid throughout the year on a first-completed, firstawarded basis. Early application is encouraged and allows more time for students to explore all financial aid options.

After the FAFSA is processed, the government generates a multipage Student Aid Report (SAR) for each applicant. After SCAD has received an electronic version of the SAR from the government and if the applicant is officially admitted to SCAD, a financial aid package is determined. This process generally begins in early December for fall enrollment.

SCAD accepts and enrolls new students each quarter.

Students who intend to use financial assistance to pay tuition, room and board should plan to complete the application for admission and the FAFSA at least 60 days prior to the intended entry date. Otherwise, the student should plan to pay first-quarter expenses out of personal funds.

Students should review each specific aid program for details at scad.edu/financialaid. Further information about federal aid can be found at studentaid.ed.gov.

Concurrent enrollment and transient status A student who wishes to be degree-seeking at two or more postsecondary institutions concurrently may receive federal/ state financial aid at only one college. Once a student has requested financial aid to attend SCAD, he or she may not apply for federal/state aid at any other institution for the same term. Transient students who receive the Georgia HOPE scholarship may be eligible to receive it while in transient status and should contact their staff adviser for details. Currently enrolled SCAD students who wish to attend another college or university as a transient student and transfer credits back to SCAD must pursue transient status through the registrar’s office at SCAD before taking classes at the other institution.

Federal grants Pell Grant (nonrepayable funds) The Pell Grant is a need-based grant available to degreeseeking students who are pursuing their first undergraduate degree. Student eligibility is based upon the Expected Family Contribution as calculated by the federal government based on information the student provided in completing the FAFSA. Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (nonrepayable funds) The SEOG program was established to assist in making the benefits of postsecondary education available to first-time, degree-seeking undergraduate students. Awards are based upon the remaining unmet need of Pell eligible students.

Funds are available to full- and half-time students on a very limited basis.

Federal loans William D. Ford Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loan (repayable funds) The direct loan program enables students to borrow funds directly from the U.S. Department of Education to assist with educational expenses. Undergraduate student borrowers can

borrow from US$5,500 to US$12,500 per academic year (three quarters), depending on class level and dependency status as determined by the FAFSA. The amount of subsidized vs. unsubsidized loan that can be borrowed is determined by results from the FAFSA and remaining need. Regular graduate student borrowers can borrow US$20,500, unsubsidized, per academic year (three quarters). Graduate student borrowers admitted with required preliminary undergraduate coursework are subject to undergraduate loan limits and enrollment rules until they proceed into the regular graduate program.

The loan amount credited to the student account is reduced by the federally mandated loan origination fee. Repayment of direct loans begins after graduation, dropping below half-time enrollment or ceasing enrollment, and follows a six-month grace period.

William D. Ford Federal Direct PLUS Loan for Graduate Students (repayable funds) The Grad PLUS loan program enables credit-worthy graduatelevel students to borrow funds for educational purposes.

Graduate students may borrow up to the full cost of attendance or any educational expenses that other student aid does not cover. Grad PLUS loans are collateral-free, lowinterest loans with a minimum 10-year repayment term and several repayment options.

Student employment The student employment office assists degree-seeking undergraduate and graduate students with their employment search process, while maintaining compliance with federal and state regulations.

Alternative funding sources

FINANCIAL POLICIES AND STUDENT ACCOUNTS

380

Personal funds, institutional scholarships, outside scholarships, and federal/state aid programs may fall short of a student’s anticipated budget for educational expenses. Alternative (credit-based) loans from private lenders are one source of funding that may help compensate for any shortfall. However, parents and students should be aware that these loans may be a more expensive way of borrowing, and they should read all the information available on these loans to select the lender with the most suitable terms. Regarding private education loans, the best source of information is the lender. Programs and qualifying regulations are subject to change without notice. Current information is available at scad.edu/financialaid.

SCAD.EDU / SFS

Policy on satisfactory academic progress All students receiving Federal Title IV financial aid, Georgia state financial aid, or SCAD grant aid must adhere to the university’s policy on satisfactory academic progress. The Higher Education Act as amended by U.S. Congress mandates that higher education institutions establish minimum standards of “satisfactory academic progress” for students receiving financial aid.

Requirements to meet satisfactory academic progress include the following: Students must pass 67 percent of all coursework attempted; undergraduate students must earn a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 on a 4.0 point scale; graduate students must earn a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 point scale.

Satisfactory academic progress standards are evaluated as follows: Degree-seeking students in a program longer than one year are evaluated annually. Students enrolled in a degree program of one year or less are evaluated at the end of each payment period (quarter). The same review standards and sanctions (financial aid probation and assignment of an academic plan) apply to all students, regardless of the frequency of review (either quarterly or annually). The SCAD financial aid office does not utilize financial aid warnings, but does work closely with faculty and advisers to utilize an early alert system and proactive outreach to help students attain their academic goals.

The complete policy is available online at scad.edu/ financialpolicies.
