At events like SCADstyle, successful alumni return to the hive to share their insight with students. Once a Bee, always a Bee!

FORTY YEARS AGO, when SCAD was born, only dreamers and visionaries believed a creative curriculum could lead to a professional career. In those days, I often found myself speaking at schools and college fairs, describing the university’s comprehensive new approach to art and design education: professionally focused, intellectually rigorous, and student centered. What I needed was a memorable way to explain SCAD’s philosophy to prospective students and their families. That’s when I remembered my Ruskin.

Upon re-reading John Ruskin’s 1859 book, The Two Paths, a series of lectures on art and architecture, I found this oh-so-apt nutshell description of SCAD: “Fine art is that in which the hand, the head, and the heart of man go together.”

My heart leapt.

THE HAND: SCAD equips students with practical, professional skills and techniques relevant to contemporary careers.

THE HEAD: SCAD steeps students in the history of ideas and the primacy of research and concept development.

THE HEART: SCAD engages the whole student in a joyful, positively oriented environment. (Visit campus and you’ll feel it.)

Then and now, Ruskin’s cogent concept of art helps illuminate the miracle of SCAD. We found our motto!

A few years later, SCAD foundation studies professor Hugh Gale helped express this idea visually, designing a neon icon that would become much more than a university motto: It became a part of our identity, an indelible image that embodies the essence of SCAD. Look for our historic icon throughout this catalog. After all these years, as one of our alumni recently shared with me, “The imagery still elicits feelings of love and possibility.”

This year, as SCAD celebrates 40 creative years, the world is very different. We are living in a new age. “Creative careers” is no longer an oxymoron, a truth confirmed in the 99 percent alumni employment rate of SCAD.* As you read and experience this impressive catalog, be careful: Your heart may leap.

In love and possibility,

Paula S. Wallace SCAD President and Founder @paulaswallace

*According to a recent study, 99 percent of Spring 2017 graduates were employed, pursuing further education, or both within just 10 months of graduation!

SCAD Hong Kong students and professors work and create in learning spaces borne of the former North Kowloon Magistracy building, a UNESCO Awardwinning midcentury courthouse in the Sham Shui Po district. SCAD students infuse the historic landmark with new life, using high-tech digital production labs, rapid prototyping spaces, fashion and interior design resource labs, darkrooms and a photography studio, a green screen studio, a remarkable library and Moot — a vibrant lounge, café and gallery — to collaborate and let artistry bloom.

In a creative atmosphere abundant with modern inspiration, Sham Shui Po is home to the region’s most famous fabric market, putting an array of fabrics, leather, accessories and haberdashery at students’ fingertips. Tropical island vistas offer respite from urban life: SCAD students are inspired from aboard the Star Ferry or atop Victoria Peak, on strolls along the harbor or hikes on mountainous trails.

Whether studying in Hong Kong for one quarter or throughout their degree programs, SCAD students are perfectly at home in Asia’s World City.

For more than 500 years, artists have made the pilgrimage to Lacoste, France, to witness the play of light in the Luberon Valley, where the land, sun and sky work magic on the soul. Today, students flock to this meticulously preserved medieval village to study at SCAD. Steeped in the culture of Provence, SCAD Lacoste invites scholarly focus and immersion in artistic practice, encouraging students to shed the distractions of daily life and advance their work — be it art history, painting, photography, writing or one of the many other course offerings at this idyllic location.

At SCAD Lacoste, students live and study in ancient structures dating from the ninth to the 19th centuries, including a former village bakery and a farmhouse that once belonged to the Marquis de Sade. Inherently charming

The beauty of Lacoste is unmatched. Photos don’t do it justice. I saw pictures of the Roman aqueducts, but to be able to go there and see them, to swim in the water underneath them, was breathtaking. You need to come and see it for yourself.

studios, classrooms, residential and dining halls, and a digitally connected library are the hallmarks of the new Lacoste. Course offerings vary each quarter and provide students with the opportunity to seamlessly continue their SCAD degrees while experiencing the riches of the region. Hands-on learning en plein air at Roman architectural sites, medieval structures and historic limestone quarries enrich the on-site experience. SCAD Lacoste students regularly exhibit their work through a local vernissage, attend field trips to nearby brocantes, visit singular museums and historic sites, and travel to inspiring cities, including Avignon, Paris and Saint-Rémy-de-Provence.

ACADEMIC EXPERIENCE

26

SCAD degrees are in demand in today’s professional marketplace, where desirable careers call for imaginative and critical thinking, storytelling, problemsolving and design innovation, as well as polished ideation, presentation and communication skills.

SCAD prepares students to excel in their chosen careers by first preparing them to excel at the university. Even before they arrive, newly enrolled undergraduate students may take advantage of programs from Pre-Bee, a weeklong cultural enrichment experience at SCAD Lacoste, to Summer Swarm in Savannah or Atlanta Prelude, where they forge bonds and become acclimated to the university.

Undergraduate students are welcomed at SCAD from day one through the required First Year Experience course, designed to aid in the transition to college life and prepare participants for academic success. The FYE course covers university policies and support services, as well as major, minor and career options.

Each student also works with dedicated professional advisers who help with course sequencing, registration, internships and awards. SCAD Core, a thoughtfully curated series of foundation studies, general education and liberal arts courses, lays the groundwork for undergraduate students to succeed in the university’s rigorous degree programs. And because undergraduate courses are taught by fully credentialed faculty members, rather than teaching assistants, SCAD students receive excellent instruction and individual attention in every class, from every professor.

Through award-winning degree programs, small class sizes and professionally connected faculty, SCAD graduate students realize their highest aspirations. SCAD graduate degree programs emphasize research and analysis along with studio creation and fieldwork, resulting in a holistic, integrated understanding of students’ chosen disciplines. Peer and individual critiques and seminar discussions provide forums for the development of a creative-critical framework.

Each graduate program culminates in a thesis, final project or other creative product demonstrating graduate-level mastery, which may include a scholarly research project, a body of work, an exhibition or other substantive contributions to the student’s discipline. Recent pursuits range from an in-depth analysis of augmented reality in wearable technology to an exploration of the role of service design in marketing space tourism.

These academic quests often develop into specialized career tracks and lead to groundbreaking discoveries in the realms of contemporary art, avant-garde design and cutting-edge technology. SCAD graduate students gain a highly evolved analytical and practical understanding of their areas of focus, positioning them to become creative leaders in their chosen professions.

A CUSTOMIZED COURSE OF STUDY Exceptional students from select degree programs can maximize their SCAD education and enhance their career preparation through GRADpath@SCAD, an accelerated course of study that culminates in an advanced degree. Open to incoming first-year students in animation, fashion, film and television, graphic design and industrial design, GRADpath@SCAD students can earn both their B.F.A. and M.A. in four years, or their B.F.A. and M.F.A. in five years, seamlessly transitioning to graduate studies and the professional world.

SCAD LEAP helps newly accepted international students develop linguistic and cultural knowledge in a collaborative online setting prior to starting their studies at SCAD. All accepted and enrolled international students have immediate access to SCAD through the SCAD Culture, Language and Academic Support Site. SCAD CLASS offers resources such as monthly sessions in English as a Second Language; videos on academic culture, art and design vocabulary, and grammar; and more.

When you walk down a hallway at SCAD and hear someone speaking a different language, there’s something beautiful about that. The world is so big, but everyone is connected here. They have a different story, and when they share their story, it makes us think differently and helps us grow as artists.

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

The university offers an intensive and engaging art- and designfocused English as a Second Language program through the SCAD Language Studio. With an authentic studio experience, dedicated instruction and cocurricular opportunities, the SCAD Language Studio ensures students succeed during their time at SCAD and beyond.

ACCESSORY DESIGN Accessory designers conceptualize and create objects of desire that punctuate personal expression and precipitate trends, from edgy street-style shoes to heirloom leather goods and every “it” item in between.

SCAD students engage in every facet of accessory design as they learn the manifold processes to produce distinctive collections. Through instruction in footwear construction, sewing technology, computer-aided design and more, students master high-end tools and hone their personal aesthetic. While sharpening design and patternmaking techniques, they experiment and become proficient with industrial sewing machines, men’s and women’s shoe lasts, skiving machines and CAD software.

These resources and many more are found in Eckburg Hall, where students fuel their imaginations with collaborations across the School of Fashion and beyond, and in SCADlab, a one-of-a-kind digital fabrication lab where designs and 3-D prototypes are brought to life. In addition, SCAD accessory design students are prepared for the professional practices of the industry through working

relationships with factories, manufacturers and suppliers.

A distinguished faculty with a wide range of expertise, from luxury corporate collections to bespoke footwear, leads the department. Students also benefit from celebrated mentors in the university’s Style Lab mentorship program as well as SCADpro-sponsored partnerships with brands including Fossil and Reebok.

Future-oriented courses include athletic footwear design, in which students explore innovative materials and complex processes to conquer this rapidly expanding market. Studio courses culminate in the development and execution of finished, tangible products — a hallmark of the SCAD program — that

enable students, quarter by quarter, to build impressive portfolios that secure internships and jobs at Alexander Wang, Coach, Proenza Schouler, The Row, Stuart Weitzman and Vince Camuto, to name a few.

SCAD accessory design students learn to fabricate designs from unified concepts, practice in 2-D and 3-D formats, and present well-defined bodies of work that demonstrate expertise and vision. They engage in research and analysis of visual culture and trends that inform the development of their collections. Accessory design students may also choose to pursue CFDA+ and Rhino certifications to enhance their knowledge and career preparation.

Because of SCAD’s support, I got my dream job at Coach in New York City.

BY FAMED RUNWAY COACH AND REALITY TELEVISION PERSONALITY MISS J ALEXANDER. Q: HOW DID SCAD HELP YOU SUCCEED?

The SCAD accessory design program provides professional opportunities for students who are passionate about the industry. I participated in a SCADpro class where I worked with a team of students from different majors to design and deliver a business plan for the equestrian company Equis Boutique. We researched and developed an innovative backpack concept specifically for riders and grooms.

Q: WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO STUDY ART AND DESIGN AT SCAD? SCAD provides more than 40 diverse programs to match your passion. Drawn to the preciousness of the materials, I first began my studies in the field of jewelry, which influenced my handbag and shoe designs when I returned to my first love of accessories.

The university inspires students to maintain an open mind. SCAD is a big family, beyond major and city.

Q: WHAT UNIQUE OPPORTUNITIES DID SCAD OFFER YOU? In my last two years at the university, I collaborated with five different SCAD student designers on their senior collections, with my work featured in the annual SCAD Savannah Runway Show. After the fashion show, I created a custom shoe design for Miss J Alexander, patterned on one of my collaborations. Miss J has since worn the product multiple times on TV!

ADVERTISING SCAD.EDU / ADVERTISING

The revolution is here. Advertising has changed more in the last five years than

64

in the last five decades, and elite art directors, copywriters, and advertising and branding professionals lead the charge. Today’s designers and writers create dynamic stories that evolve through strategic social engagement. How should companies communicate differently on Twitter and Instagram? How can emerging technologies and growing social platforms reveal new dimensions of familiar brands?

At SCAD, students uncover the answers to these questions and more, expanding the definition of what it means to work in advertising. They adopt a modern approach that taps into the 21st century’s diversified distribution of content, and they do so with boundless imagination under the guidance of accomplished faculty mentors. The curriculum encompasses traditional and leading-edge career paths: art direction, copywriting, creative technology, branded experience, engagement and strategy, with attention to digital production, typography and social media content creation.

Undergraduate students explore these roles in concentrations and related minors, including copywriting and marketing for mobile and interactive environments,

to gain a competitive edge. Through advanced coursework, graduate students strengthen conceptual and digital production skills that culminate in a holistic branding experience. SCAD advertising students can also explore the future of advertising through a learning sequence focused on emerging creative technology, the first of its kind in the country.

Advertising students experience a model of teamwork common in the field through high-energy, productive collaborations with peers in branded entertainment, film and television, graphic design, illustration, interactive design and game development, photography, writing and more. Through SCADpro, SCAD advertising students develop brand concepts for AT&T, BMW, L’Oréal and Mercedes-Benz. Real-world design challenges complement classroom and studio experiences as students

regularly participate in professional events, including Cannes Young Lions and The One Club’s annual Young Ones Brief Competition and Young Ones Portfolio Competition. Students and alumni take top honors in national and international competitions, including gold and silver at the prestigious Student ADDY Awards, Student Emmy Awards and Red Dot Communication Design awards. They also contribute to campaigns for household names and brands, including Apple, Disney, Google, Hulu and Procter & Gamble.

FROM CONCEPT TO REALITY SCAD advertising students land internships and jobs with the world’s premier agencies: 360i, 72andSunny, Anomaly, BBDO, Crispin Porter + Bogusky, DDB, Deutsch Inc., FCB Global, Leo Burnett, Ogilvy & Mather, Publicis, R/GA, Saatchi & Saatchi, Venables Bell & Partners, Wieden+Kennedy and Y&R.

ADVERTISING CARACAS, VENEZUELA WITH CONCEPTS FOR BACARDI, COLUMBIA RECORDS AND MACY’S, JOAQUIN SALIM’S INFLUENTIAL WORK HAS BEEN NAMED AMONG ADWEEK’S 10 BEST ADS OF 2017 AND BROUGHT TO LIFE BY FILMMAKERS LIKE DARREN ARONOFSKY. HE IS A WINNER OF THE ONE CLUB FOR CREATIVITY’S YOUNG GUNS 15, A PRESTIGIOUS GLOBAL PORTFOLIO COMPETITION. Q: HOW DID SCAD INFLUENCE YOUR CREATIVE PROCESS? I couldn’t believe all these creative careers were in one place! SCAD exposed me to a lot I wouldn’t normally have been exposed to in Venezuela. At SCAD, I went to all the events I could: advertising, design and architecture lectures, and music and film events.

Meeting creative people, doing projects outside of the classroom or even just having meaningful conversations — SCAD is still the strongest foundation of inspiration I have.

Q: HOW DID SCAD INTRODUCE YOU TO THE PROFESSIONAL WORLD? SCAD brought in amazing companies during SCAD Career Fair and for on-campus lectures. I would introduce myself to professionals, try to make myself memorable, send over my work and keep in touch. That’s how I got my first job. The opportunity to present myself in that way came from SCAD.

Q: WHAT DID SCAD TEACH YOU ABOUT COLLABORATION? At SCAD, I started doing projects outside of class with friends and learned that together we could make something stronger. Creative partnerships are a lot like a marriage without the romance. You have to have the confidence to work out differences together.

ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY Architectural historians go beyond the façade of history to investigate authenticity within the spaces in which people work, play and dwell. They uncover, analyze and interpret the past to foster understanding of the human experience and safeguard the future of cities, towns, rural structures and cultural landscapes that express a shared global heritage.

SCAD offers the highly valued, rarely found undergraduate and graduate architectural history degrees, and there is no better place to dive into the discipline than in Savannah, one of the nation’s best preserved and most praised historic urban landscapes. Amid the rich variety of high-style and vernacular architecture, SCAD architectural history students learn from professors who possess a breadth of knowledge and expertise in all major historical periods in Western and global traditions.

Faculty members are widely published, actively engaged in professional societies, and regularly tapped to deliver papers and presentations at conferences all over the world. Students are encouraged to make travel a part of their academic experience with study in the medieval village of Lacoste, France, and the metropolises of Atlanta and Hong Kong.

The SCAD architectural history undergraduate and graduate programs are designed for students to customize their course of study. In addition to selecting from specially curated courses, architectural history students benefit from access to

ARCHITECTURE Architects shape the spaces where our most meaningful experiences unfold, imbuing communities and structures with purpose and character. These professionals must carefully consider a range of issues — from the social to the sustainable — as they create the built environment.

SCAD architecture students apply historical, cultural, theoretical and aesthetic concepts while developing the technical expertise to design buildings that add beauty to the world and uplift lives. SCAD offers a preprofessional B.F.A. degree in architecture as well as a professional M.Arch. degree, which is accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board. The SCAD M.Arch. program was

82

awarded the maximum eight-year term of accreditation by the NAAB, whose meticulous accreditation standards are accepted and often required by state registration boards.

SCAD is proud to offer the Integrated Path to Architectural Licensure, an initiative spearheaded by the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards. SCAD was selected by NCARB to offer this rigorous academic track, which prepares students for professional architectural licensure in as few as seven years. This accelerated program enhances preparation for licensure through a concurrent approach to education, experience and examination.

The university’s global locations allow architecture students to gain a keen awareness of how rural, urban and cultural contexts drive design. Students explore the bustling, everevolving cityscape of Atlanta; absorb both the ancient Chinese architecture and the ultramodern structures of Hong Kong; and observe European influences across centuries in Lacoste, France. In Savannah, students thrive amid one of the most

celebrated urban plans in the world, inspired by a diverse backdrop of historic and contemporary architecture. Eichberg Hall, constructed in 1887 for the Central of Georgia Railway in Savannah and given new life nearly 100 years later by SCAD, serves as one of several award-winning university locations for the study of building arts. In 2016, the American Institute of Architects presented SCAD President and Founder Paula Wallace with the Roger Milliken Legacy Award for her commitment to improving Savannah and the world through design and innovation.

A NEW ERA IN ARCHITECTURAL EDUCATION SCAD offers the groundbreaking Integrated Path to Architectural Licensure, which provides accepted students the professional advantage of combining work experience with coursework and examinations. The progressive academic track, which supports students seeking professional internships, has received endorsements from partnering architectural firms, including HKS, OMA and Perkins+Will, as well as the affirmation of local and regional affiliates of the American Institute of Architects. The M.Arch. segment incorporates preparation for and completion of all six sections of the Architect Registration Examination. Successful students of the program are licensed upon graduation from SCAD.

ART HISTORY

Art historians view the world through art and artifacts, studying human expression across time, space and cultures to explore the very notion of how we construct our identities.

The university’s culture of creativity inspires art history majors to analyze how visual expression enriches humanity. Throughout their studies, SCAD art history students learn from distinguished scholars who hold outstanding credentials, conduct groundbreaking research and maintain active artistic practices that inform their teaching. The department boasts the largest full-time art history faculty with doctoral degrees in North America. Their respective backgrounds and specializations, ranging from the ancient past to the art of tomorrow, enable them to share current research methods, provide mentorship and nurture students’ professional development. This comprehensive instruction is enhanced by the unique opportunity to study, intern and work at the university’s locations around the world, including the prospect to hold exclusive docent positions within SCAD museums and galleries. The global SCAD network of libraries and special collections include rare, valuable and significant works to fortify student research and shape courses.

Art history students examine the art and design of diverse periods and media through completion of a thesis that probes the history, theory and criticism of the discipline. Courses emphasize research, critical analysis and interpretation of works of cultural production within their historical and varied contexts. More than 70 elective options in Savannah — from the iconography of monuments to environmental art and from cave paintings to 3-D digital imagery — are integral to the course of study and allow students to customize their degrees.

BRANDED ENTERTAINMENT Branded entertainment professionals connect the magic of storytelling with brand marketing to build meaningful relationships between consumers and brands.

Through the power of branded entertainment, beloved and well-known brands take on new life in films, television, social media, virtual reality, live performance and daring feats of imagination. Think of an enhanced virtual reality trip to Mars, powered by Lockheed Martin. The technology visually depicts traveling the planet’s terrain and uses photographs of its surface so the user can feel every bump and hear every sound for an unforgettable sensorial experience. Imagine Times Square when M&M’s transforms every digital billboard into an interactive arcade

through augmented reality. Other recent triumphs include Sephora’s Virtual Artists app, IKEA Place and Instagram Stories. This work is what branded entertainment professionals create.

SCAD pioneered the branded entertainment B.F.A. degree in response to the exponential demand for immersive experiences across multimedia platforms. In this fast-developing field, professionals partner with companies to create custom content that leaves a lasting impression and converts consumers into enthusiastic brand ambassadors. From films, TV shows and 3-D productions to viral videos and mobile apps, today’s businesses capture global attention as they connect with audiences through shared cultural moments. One especially promising area of branded entertainment is immersive reality, which SCAD students explore and master through elective coursework in augmented and virtual reality, supported by a full complement of VR cameras and related technology.

DRAMATIC WRITING Dramatic writers develop compelling stories for film, television, animation, live performance and other narrative experiences. From script to screen to stage, these professional storytellers employ collaboration, improvisation and new technology such as augmented and virtual reality to connect with the universal human experience.

SCAD dramatic writing students learn multiple modes of creation to share powerful, funny and moving narratives. Mirroring the professional practices of the television industry, SCAD students collaborate in a writer’s room setting to create original and spec television scripts and develop stories for live, online and streaming platforms. They also enjoy a two-course sequence to complete a full-length original screenplay as well as the opportunity to partner with peers in film and television, animation, performing arts, sound design and numerous other SCAD programs.

Student-written scripts are frequently used for university productions, including drama series Hot Case; original sitcoms Nailed It! and The Buzz, which won the 2017 Student Emmy for outstanding scripted series; and the first-ever virtual reality musical Say It With Music, featured in Variety magazine and other industry publications.

During signature events, including the SCAD Savannah Film Festival, SCAD aTVfest and through elite learning and networking opportunities offered through SCADFILM, students interact with celebrated writers, producers, directors, actors and other leaders in the field who review portfolios and share their knowledge of entertainment markets around the world. Recent guests include John Ridley,

FROM SCRIPT TO SCREEN Winner of the 2017 Student Emmy Award for Best Scripted Series, the university’s live-action comedy The Buzz featured more than 150 SCAD students from six different academic departments, including dramatic writing, in roles in front of and behind the camera. Two seasons of this original sitcom, featuring a group of 20-somethings who navigate post-college life at a coffee shop, were recorded before a live studio audience in Savannah’s Hamilton Hall.

EQUESTRIAN STUDIES From the management of barns and businesses to the artistry of competitions and shows, equestrian professionals operate in countless roles within this growing field. Anchored by an exceptional equestrian center, the SCAD equestrian studies program cultivates both athletes and industry leaders.

To prepare students as competitive riders, trainers, marketing professionals, journalists or managers in the professional realm, the comprehensive equestrian studies curriculum spans equine training principles, competition regulations and governance, and professional responsibility. Students gain a thorough understanding of equine anatomy, psychology and behavior that they apply to the care, training and riding of horses. Lectures by visiting professionals, including trainers, authors, Olympic-caliber riders, judges, veterinarians and horse show managers, complement the rigorous coursework.

At SCAD, there are ample opportunities for hands-on experience as well as lectures from leading clinicians and industry professionals.

DRESSAGE TODAY

SCAD faculty and staff, themselves nationally recognized equestrians, include an Intercollegiate Horse Shows Association Board of Directors member and a Lifetime Achievement Award winner, members of the American Association of Equine Practitioners and American Veterinary Medical Association, United States Equestrian Federation licensed officials, a certified United States Eventing Association instructor and a United States Dressage Federation medalist.

Faculty members actively compete in USEF-recognized hunter/jumper, dressage and eventing competitions.

At the heart of the program are the horses, and their home at the SCAD Ronald C. Waranch Equestrian Center is a compound of more than 180 acres complete with paddocks, pastures, competition arenas, a beautiful stable and a state-of-the-art covered riding arena.

SCAD hosts prestigious events, including the 40th annual American National Riding Commission National Intercollegiate Equitation Championship in 2017. It is also the first art and design university to offer both a highly respected equestrian studies degree program and a powerhouse equestrian team, which has accomplished the historic feat of capturing its fifth consecutive overall Tournament of Champions Collegiate Series Championship title in 2018, in addition to myriad ANRC and Intercollegiate Horse Shows Association awards.

SCAD is my dream school. To be able to combine the arts and horses is the only thing I was ever looking for.

No other university has a program like it. SCAD is paving the way in equestrian studies.

Q: HOW DID THE SCAD EQUESTRIAN STUDIES PROGRAM HELP YOU SUCCEED? The equestrian community is tight-knit. Meeting professionals who came to the SCAD equestrian center for shows and lectures helped me spread my name and share my work around the country. The connections I made at SCAD were crucial to building my photography client base.

Q: WHAT OPPORTUNITIES WERE AVAILABLE AT SCAD?

SCAD hosted the ANRC National Intercollegiate Equitation Championship and hired me to photograph the competition as an alumna. The next year, the hosts in Virginia hired me to photograph it again. The relationship continues and it’s because of SCAD. Q: HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE NAMED TO THE PLAID HORSE’S 30 UNDER 30 LIST? There are people on that list who have been show jumping since they were children, so it blew me away that I was considered in the same boat as them. I never thought this would turn out to be my profession, but I’m so glad I ended up going to SCAD.

Q: HOW DID YOU DECIDE TO LAUNCH YOUR OWN LINE? I had always planned on starting my own brand, but I assumed I was going to do it much later in life. After I got to the industry and learned the ropes for a few years, I felt like it was time. It’s all about honing in on your inner self and what makes sense for you. I hope to inspire everyone to be themselves.

Q: WHAT PROFESSIONAL ADVANTAGES WERE THERE TO STUDYING AT SCAD? The SCAD resources, environment and technology are unparalleled. Now that I’m in the workforce, it’s surprising how many people don’t have the skills SCAD students learn.

There’s an increasing number of SCAD graduates in New York and around the world who are getting jobs because they know how to sew, they can make patterns and they understand tech packs — that’s an extreme competitive advantage.

Q: HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE SCAD CREATIVE COMMUNITY? I love talking to students who ask “How did you get to where you are?” and be able to walk them through my path to show them it’s possible. There’s a sense of pride that I have for SCAD that makes me want to contribute to the success of students.

Coming back to SCAD to share my experiences is rewarding because I can help connect students with professionals. We stick together as SCAD alumni.

FIBERS Fibers professionals are masters of both art and science who combine studio artistry with historic processes and emergent technologies to shape our sensory experience of the material world.

SCAD.EDU / FIBERS

SCAD fibers graduates work in demanding and inventive roles, developing thermal insulating blankets for NASA, automotive interior surface fabrics for Chrysler, innovative athletics materials for Nike, medical textile therapies for health care innovator L&R USA, and custom fabrics and installations for fashion houses and retailers. They launch their own studios, products and clothing lines, are commissioned by brands such as Anthropologie, The Coca-Cola Company and Google, and exhibit during prestigious international art fairs.

SCAD’s fibers program is the largest and best in the U.S. SCAD students learn to knit, weave, and design by hand and by digital means, exploring the intricacies of

142

kinetic textiles, surface design, woven structures, machine knitting, fine art, studio production, and digital dobby and Jacquard weaving. They also study business, innovation and professional practice as they prepare for a wide range of careers.

Students consistently earn prestigious scholarships from the Council of Fashion Designers of America, the YMA Fashion Fund and the Windgate Fellowship, and win major awards in professional competitions sponsored by Cotton Incorporated, International Textile Market Association, the NICHE Awards and others. Attracted to the university’s wealth of creative talent, leading fabric distributor Fabricut tapped SCAD students to research and develop original textiles and wall coverings for potential production and sale by the company’s Stroheim line to be featured in Traditional Home magazine. In another recent collaboration, fibers students created a collection of dorm bedding in a partnership with Dormify and CHF Industries.

The SCAD fibers department arranges exclusive, intimate conversations and studio visits with artists who extend valuable insight to students forging their own professional paths. Guests include acclaimed couturière Guo Pei; Arantza Vilas

A PAINTER AND MIXED MEDIA ARTIST, WENDY WHITE CREATED WORK SEEN BY MILLIONS OF PEOPLE EACH YEAR IN THE MERCEDES-BENZ STADIUM COLLECTION, FOR WHICH SCAD SERVED AS THE OFFICIAL ART ADVISER. WHITE HAS BEEN FEATURED IN GROUP AND SOLO EXHIBITIONS AROUND THE WORLD AS WELL AS AT THE SCAD MUSEUM OF ART. Q: WHAT OPPORTUNITIES DID YOU TAKE ADVANTAGE OF AT SCAD? In addition to fibers, I studied a variety of media and techniques. I transitioned to painting after graduating, but my fibers background has given my art a unique perspective.

Q: WHAT WAS IT LIKE TO PARTNER WITH SCAD FOR EXHIBITIONS? I am thrilled to represent SCAD. It is always an amazing opportunity for me to show my work in an extremely beautiful setting. I’m nostalgic for SCAD and it’s always wonderful to be asked to participate. The university has a way of looping me back in for great projects, and I always say yes because SCAD rules.

Q: HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE IN THE MERCEDES-BENZ STADIUM PERMANENT COLLECTION? The body of work that I’ve been making for years was centered around sports, and for it to find a home in a public arena is a dream come true.

Being selected for the Mercedes-Benz Stadium commission is one of the most challenging and prestigious opportunities I’ve ever received, and it came via SCAD.

FILM TELEVISION Professionals in film and television create compelling visual stories that capture the heart, awaken the imagination and inspire change, from blockbusters to documentaries and sitcoms to commercials.

Thanks in part to the state’s lucrative tax incentives for film and television productions, the entertainment business is booming in Georgia. A SCAD education links directly to this versatile and vibrant industry. SCAD students work on real sets long before graduation, from big-budget features to hit TV series to indie films. With location diversity, top-caliber production services and a generated economic impact of $7 billion, Georgia is ranked No. 1 in worldwide film production, according to a FilmL.A. study. Savannah frequently tops the list of “best places to live and work as a moviemaker” for small cities according to MovieMaker Magazine, while Atlanta flourishes as a film and television megahub, attracting a diverse array of movies, such as Ant-Man and Hidden Figures, alongside hit TV shows, like Atlanta, The Walking Dead and Stranger Things. In both locations, productions find film-ready crews of SCAD students and alumni.

SCAD students explore every facet of film and television to find the roles that best suit their individual talents and strengths.

With resources that rival Hollywood studios, award-winning professors, stunning locations, stellar film and television festivals, and a talent pool that includes actors, writers, sound editors, and set and costume designers, SCAD film and television students have every opportunity to direct their creative careers.

SCAD student and alumni films have been showcased at festivals around the world, including Sundance, Cannes and Tribeca film festivals, SXSW and many more. In 2017 alone, more than 60 SCAD student and alumni features were official film festival selections. SCAD filmmakers have earned a variety of

accolades, including Student Emmy Awards, Student Academy Awards, the ICG Emerging Cinematographer Award, prestigious Red Dot Communication Design awards, and overall winner distinctions at the Forbes Under 30 Short Film Festival, among others. Alumni are instrumental to Grammy Award-winning music videos and visual albums like Beyoncé’s Lemonade and make the scene each year at the Academy Awards. In 2018, alumni contributed to the ceremony’s nominated films Get Out, The Shape of Water and Star Wars: The Last Jedi, among many more.

RED CARPET READY The eight-day SCAD Savannah Film Festival connects students with cinema’s luminaries such as 2017 honorees and guests John Boyega, Richard Gere, Holly Hunter, Robert Pattinson, Salma Hayek Pinault, Aaron Sorkin and Sir Patrick Stewart.

LIGHTS, CAMERA, CAREER SCAD film and television students develop artistic and technical mastery of complex equipment, software and industry-standard resources. SCAD Atlanta students create in the 57,000-square-foot SCAD Digital Media Center and SCADshow, a 28,000-square-foot, two-stage performance and event venue.

In Savannah, students practice the art of filmmaking in Adler Hall, Crites Hall, Hamilton Hall, Montgomery Hall, Trustees Theater and the expansive, 22,000-square-foot Savannah Film Studios. At SCAD Hong Kong, students enjoy access to a green screen studio and digital and computer labs with advanced editing software. SCAD provides fully equipped studio environments around the globe where students work with sound stages, lighting grids, postproduction suites, a Techno-Jib, editing rooms, screening spaces, set and prop fabrication studios, sound recording and mixing suites, white and green cyclorama wall studios, motion capture studios, green screen production studios, and the latest virtual reality and augmented reality technologies.

With access to resources like these, SCAD students have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience as they build a personally tailored, focused degree track. They become fluent in all aspects of the production process and learn to communicate with others across the spectrum of filmmaking. The department actively mirrors the professional world across all platforms — multicamera, singlecamera and hybrid production — to refine student understanding of what it means to be employed in all arenas of the film and television landscape. Within upper-level coursework and through collaboration on university productions such as The Buzz and Nailed It!, students broaden their abilities to structure narratives and shoots.

Graduate students perfect their visions through final projects or original thesis work — up to and including directing their own films.

SCADFILM, the leading program for students and working professionals, offers unparalleled career opportunities, knowledge and networking through a year-round lineup of next-level workshops, masterclasses, festivals and more. Students also gain insight and forge career-making connections at the annual SCAD Savannah Film Festival, the nation’s largest university-run festival, which celebrated 20 years in 2017. The festival honors living legends and screens future Academy Awardwinning films, including Call Me by Your Name, Lady Bird and I, Tonya. In Atlanta, the annual SCAD aTVfest is another star-studded event for SCAD students, where actors, directors, producers and other entertainment professionals discuss the evolution of storytelling on the screen. Recent visitors include Zach Braff, Alan Cumming, Lee Daniels, Mindy Kaling, John Ridley and the casts of Black Lightning, The Chi, The Flash and How to Get Away with Murder.

More than 20 students collaborated on the original short film The Peak, shot on location across Hong Kong.

SCREEN TESTED SCAD students won 23 awards, including nine first-place wins, in the 2017 Student Production Awards presented by the Southeast Emmys. In total, SCAD won more awards than all of the other universities combined and swept four categories.

WINNER OF A GRAMMY AWARD FOR HIS WORK ON PHARRELL’S MUSIC VIDEO HAPPY, JETT STEIGER HAS ALSO PRODUCED COMMERCIALS FOR COMPANIES LIKE LEVI’S, SHORT FILMS THAT SCREENED AT SUNDANCE AND FEATURE FILMS FOR THEATRICAL RELEASE. HIS RECENT PRODUCTION SUPER DARK TIMES, CREATED WITH FELLOW SCAD ALUMNI, DEBUTED TO CRITICAL ACCLAIM. Q: WHY DID YOU CHOOSE SCAD TO STUDY FILM AND TELEVISION? I wanted to be in a place where I could focus on filmmaking and be surrounded by people who wanted to make it their career as well. The difference between SCAD and a lot of other universities is the emphasis on creation and collaboration.

Q: WHAT WAS AN INSPIRATIONAL MOMENT FOR YOU AT SCAD? SCAD Lacoste was like being in summer camp for filmmaking. We woke up at 4 a.m. to get sunrise shots in the lavender field and hiked all over France. We had a scenic location where you couldn’t help but want to create beautiful images all the time. It was the beginning of everything for me.

Q: HOW DID SCAD PREPARE YOU FOR YOUR ROLE AS A PRODUCER? A producer is the backbone of the project. They bring in collaborators to field different positions. In my SCAD classes, I naturally found people I was creatively aligned with. You start working on projects together, helping each other and filling different roles.

The university does a great job of encouraging collaboration between students in different artistic disciplines. SCAD prepared me perfectly for my role as a producer.

SCAD.EDU / FURNITURE-DESIGN

NIKKI PALOMARIA

SENIOR ART DIRECTOR, BBDO WORLDWIDE B.F.A. GRAPHIC DESIGN HONG KONG NIKKI PALOMARIA’S CONTRIBUTIONS TO BBDO WORLDWIDE WERE A KEY PART OF THE COMPANY BEING CROWNED HONG KONG CREATIVE AGENCY OF THE YEAR IN 2016. AT THE AGENCY, SHE HAS WORKED ON MAJOR ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS FOR MATTEL, MERCEDES-BENZ, VISA AND MORE, AND CURATES HER OFFICE’S SOCIAL MEDIA FEEDS.

The collaboration SCAD encourages on campus is vitally important in the real world.

Every day, I work with directors, illustrators and producers, and my time at SCAD was great training on how to talk and work with unique, creative people.

Q: HOW DID THE SCAD CREATIVE COMMUNITY INFLUENCE YOUR STUDY OF GRAPHIC DESIGN? SCAD has a terrific way of fostering a collaborative environment. Working with someone who has a different way of coming up with ideas or looking at the world gives your own work a different vibe and a different perspective.

You grow as an artist that way.

Q: WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO PURSUE A CAREER IN ADVERTISING? While I was studying graphic design, I found that I was most interested in the digital side.

I talked to a creative director during my portfolio review, and he told me that the technical skills I learned in graphic design were valuable in advertising because I was able to present my ideas both digitally and through drawings.

Q: HOW DID SCAD INFLUENCE YOUR CREATIVE PROCESS? In my courses at SCAD, we had to sketch our ideas first before creating them digitally.

The professors required you to try many different ideas before mocking up a final logo.

As an art director, I still use that creative process. It always helps me to have a visual representation of the idea I want to present.

ALFRED LEE

CREATIVE DESIGNER, WALT DISNEY IMAGINEERING B.F.A. ILLUSTRATION HONG KONG AS AN IMAGINEER, ALFRED LEE TURNS DREAMS INTO REALITY BY DESIGNING UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCES FOR GUESTS — AND IT ALL STARTED AT SCAD. AFTER WINNING THE PRESTIGIOUS DISNEY IMAGINATIONS HONG KONG COMPETITION AS PART OF A STUDENT TEAM, LEE LANDED AN INTERNSHIP WITH THE ENTERTAINMENT TITAN BEFORE SECURING A FULL-TIME ROLE. Q: HOW DID YOUR TEAM DEVELOP YOUR CONCEPT FOR THE IMAGINATIONS COMPETITION? We had to come up with a new attraction for Hong Kong Disneyland. We went through the process of ideating and creating all sorts of concepts before we landed on Mickey’s Toontown. We wanted to draw upon the heritage of Disney’s animation history and introduce it to the Hong Kong audience.

At SCAD, I learned to capture different styles across media and formats.

That multidisciplinary skill set is fundamental to my work at Disney.

Q: HOW DID SCAD PREPARE YOU FOR YOUR ROLE AT DISNEY? SCAD has prepared me technically far beyond drawing.

The university exposed me to other disciplines and taught me how to use advanced programs and software to help with the design process. At Disney, I’ve been able to use these abilities and experiences to my advantage.

Q: WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT STUDYING AT SCAD HONG KONG? The SCAD Hong Kong campus size and year-round student events allow you to meet and engage with classmates who come from all over the world. It is important to be motivated during your time here and take advantage of all the opportunities that SCAD provides.

student work galleries and exclusive content. Immersive reality today is what the internet was 20 years ago, a revolutionary force on the precipice of changing the way we interact with each other and the world. Its futuristic frontier extends far beyond entertainment to encompass applications in science, travel, retail, real estate, manufacturing, fashion, industrial design, advertising, journalism, education and more. In health care, for example, immersive reality enables virtual visits and training simulations. In architecture, it provides a real-time visualization and prototyping tool. At SCAD, with a comprehensive suite of pioneering technology and collaborative professional resources like SCADpro at their fingertips, students prepare to chart the as-yet-unexplored territories of this expanding field as they invent experiences, tell stories, devise design concepts and develop programs.

SCAD has established a preeminent reputation at the vanguard of the augmented, virtual and mixed reality space. In 2017, the university announced the SCAD+ business launcher for gaming and digital products, a yearlong entrepreneurial

CREATIVE CAREERS 3-D MODELER AUGMENTED/VIRTUAL REALITY ENGINEER ENVIRONMENT ARTIST GAME DESIGNER MIXED REALITY DESIGNER TECHNICAL ARTIST SOFTWARE ENGINEER UI/UX DESIGNER

program designed to help alumni develop viable, tech-driven businesses. One of the inaugural projects is the VR game TSA Frisky, where players enter the role of airport security agents and earn points while also demonstrating the practical everyday applications of the technology.

Also in 2017, an integrated SCAD student team launched Dialect Effect: A Tale of Two Tongs, an immersive Chinese language and culture learning simulation that utilizes voice recognition technology, authentic environments and engaging animated non-player characters to teach entry-level Mandarin.

VR CONTENT PRODUCER

In 2016, SCAD debuted the world’s first VR musical short

VR SCENARIO DEVELOPER

film Say It with Music, a 360-degree collaboration among students from 14 different degree programs, including film

and television, sound design, animation, themed entertainment design, dramatic writing, visual effects and motion media design. In 2015, SCAD introduced the first virtual reality experience in its acceptance letters to students, featuring customized Google VR goggles that enable students to virtually visit SCAD’s four global campuses — followed shortly by the first-ever augmented reality university catalog.

As part of this tradition of technology firsts, SCAD immersive reality students create original content that supports the vision and breadth of their virtual designs.

Through coursework, classroom experience and sponsored SCADpro projects, they gain valuable technical skills across physics, scripting, programming, visual effects compositing and more. With an understanding of storyboarding, film, animation, game design, visual effects, sound design, interactivity and motion design, they conceive, develop and produce narrative-driven experiences across immersive reality platforms. Using a suite of industry-standard tools — including augmented and virtual reality resources across locations and a full suite of VR headsets for Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and Samsung Gear — students deliver professional quality work that engages consumers and clients in the virtual sphere.

A NEW DIMENSION The augmented and virtual reality market is predicted to generate $180 billion by 2021 as major media, technology and communications companies like Apple, Facebook, HTC, Intel, Microsoft, ILM, Disney, DreamWorks, Samsung, Comcast and Qualcomm invest substantially in the space.

SCAD students are already exploring the entertainment and educational value of immersive reality through SCADpro projects for partners like Google.

INDUSTRIAL DESIGN Industrial designers solve challenges, consider strategic business objectives, and drive the form, function and emotional experience of everyday products, from games and appliances to boats and bicycles.

SCAD industrial design students directly influence the aesthetic language, performance and financial value of products and experiences. They master the process of identifying design opportunities, engage in scenario planning and create viable product solutions that become tangible parts of a system, service or brand — and they establish remarkable experiences for users in the process.

Active participation in the broad scope of professional practice is a hallmark of the SCAD student experience. In recent years, students have partnered with dozens of companies and brands, including AT&T, BMW, The Coca-Cola Company, Dynacraft, Fisher-Price, Ford Motor Company, General Motors, Hewlett-Packard, Mattel, Microsoft and Reebok, to generate imaginative, workable concepts and prototypes for real-world design challenges.

Designed to reduce the number of accessories cycling commuters must take on-the-go, Meeta Gianani’s (Mumbai, India) collapsible Vigil helmet transforms into a keyless bike lock and theft alert system. Her concept won a 2018 European Product Design Award.

Vigil features a collapsible helmet, making it easy to carry with you or lock around your bike.

Helmet + Bike Lock Vigil is a combined bike lock and helmet. Vigil promotes safety, makes biking stress-free and empowers users to be aware of their bike at all times.

Wide lens cameras are installed on either side of the helmet for theft protection.

Vigil’s chin strap doubles as a locking mechanism, keeping your bike secure while you are gone.

DISTINGUISHED DESIGNS SCAD industrial design students have earned awards and recognitions from 20 different competitions, including Spark Awards, Core77 Design Awards, International Design Awards, Red Dot Design Concept Awards, and Industrial Designers Society of America International Design Excellence and Student Merit Awards. In 2017, SCAD ranked No. 1 in the U.S. in the Red Dot Design Rankings, a metric based on the results of all design concept awards over the past five years.

Grasshopper, SolidWorks, KeyShot and other cutting-edge software suites. Students use 3-D printers to produce ABS and polycarbonate models of their computer-generated work, or handheld laser scanners to

digitize their models. Laser cutters allow them to transfer their digital designs to a wide range of materials, and an injection molding machine yields working prototypes.

A 10,000-square-foot model shop provides students with ample space to work with wood, metal, plastics and composites. Students can also bolster their portfolios with certifications in Rhino software and biomimicry, which involves the design and production of materials, structures and systems modeled on biological entities and processes.

Working with SCAD students gives Samsung, and the industry as a whole, a lot of fresh ideas. It helps us to think outside the box. The energy and passion of the students truly gives us inspiration.

The level of professionalism of each SCAD student involved is impressive.

Other times, the company may have an existing product or a roadmap to what it wants, and we evaluate its position in the marketplace and redesign it. Concepto Studios does a lot of industrial design and prototyping, and we also have sections of the company that work in marketing and sales to ensure our clients get the

product they require.

Q: HOW DID SCAD PREPARE YOU FOR YOUR CAREER? I had a background in engineering and manufacturing, but at SCAD, I learned about inspiration in design. SCAD taught me how to understand where people come from, human factors, ergonomics and semantics that come into play when you’re developing products.

Q: WHAT MAKES INDUSTRIAL DESIGN UNIQUE?

You have to know the strategy behind the design, and the development and the execution required to make a product. These elements go hand-in-hand with marketing and retail.

Through our projects, we’re involved with architectural firms, urban planning, user interface and more. Industrial design is a degree that allows you to do and learn from many different branches of design. We’re at the center of it all.

INTERIOR DESIGN From corporate to residential, retail to gallery, interior designers are masters of the first impression as they imagine the spaces that engage, inspire and motivate.

They devise elegant solutions and examine the relationship between humans and the objects around them to curate meaningful and memorable interiors. Designers enhance quality of life.

Within a decorated undergraduate and graduate program ranked No. 1 in the nation

by DesignIntelligence an unprecedented 12 times — the most top rankings of any university — SCAD interior design students learn to employ functional solutions to enhance the quality of life and culture surrounding the built environment. Under the guidance of experienced professors with close ties to the professional field, they carefully and holistically consider purpose and use, health, wellness and sustainable practices. Students are challenged to become thoughtful designers capable of critical thinking, effective communication and productive teamwork, and they graduate with diverse experience in corporate, hospitality and residential interior design.

The B.F.A. degree programs at SCAD Atlanta and SCAD Savannah are accredited by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation, a resounding affirmation that graduates are well qualified to enter professional practice. Undergraduate students explore history, construction methods, materials, furnishings, lighting, building codes, barrier-free design and other specializations. The M.A. curriculum

CREATIVE CAREERS CORPORATE DESIGNER FACILITIES PLANNER HEALTH CARE FACILITY DESIGNER HOSPITALITY DESIGNER INTERIOR DESIGNER LIGHTING DESIGNER PROJECT MANAGER RETAIL DESIGNER

emphasizes emerging materials, human response and research methods. M.F.A. students investigate the design discipline in depth to become expert practitioners and educators. Coursework covers commercial, residential and institutional design, and addresses a wide range of behavioral, environmental, decorative and technical issues. Students at every level work with advanced electronic design software, including Autodesk Revit and 3ds Max, AutoCAD, SketchUp and Adobe Creative Cloud Complete.

JEWELRY

Jewelry designers make visionary use of materials to fashion experiential objects, fine art installations and symbols of personal expression that evoke emotions, spark conversations, and inspire complex relationships between object and wearer.

SCAD jewelry students learn to shape works of art with an eye for the finest detail — items for wearing and exhibition, for the market and gallery. Traditions in silver, gold and gemstones traverse cultures and span centuries. Jewelers explore adornment and identity with classical and unconventional materials and techniques.

The university’s jewelry curriculum focuses on conceptual thinking, refined craftsmanship and the use of sophisticated technology, allowing students to master every element of this contemporary, international field.

SCAD offers the largest degree-granting jewelry program in the U.S. SCADpro projects with leading brands — Fossil, The Limited, McGee Group, Michael Kors Watches and many others — place students within authentic environments to discover best practices firsthand. As they collaborate to solve design challenges, students navigate client expectations, budgets and deadlines. Students also gain valuable exposure for their work through exhibitions and awards, including International Design Student Awards, JCK Kickstarter Program spots, MJSA Vision Awards, NICHE Awards and Women’s Jewelry Association student scholarships. Many jewelry students develop a following of collectors while they are still at SCAD, thanks to shopSCAD.

Through interactions with distinguished artists and designers who lead SCAD signature events, along with alumni and professional mentors who provide guidance and one-onone critiques, jewelry students expand their knowledge and network in a multitude of ways. Some of these guests include Francesca Amfitheatrof, Gijs Bakker, Eddie Borgo, Kacper Dolatowski, Iris Eichenberg, Jennifer Fisher, Donald Friedlich, Charon Kransen, Tim McCreight, Ted Noten, Biba Schutz, Amedeo Scognamiglio and Roberto Faraone Mennella, and Danielle Snyder and Jodie Snyder Morel.

TRUE GEMS Exhibition opportunities, professional interactions and access to authentic, real-world technology lead to bright futures. SCAD jewelry students and alumni are recruited and hired by Abercrombie & Fitch, Anthropologie, Chanel, Coach, Fossil, John Hardy, Henri Bendel, Kate Spade, Macy’s, Michael Kors, Showroom35, Swarovski, Tiffany & Co. and David Yurman.

MAKING THE CUT In Savannah, SCAD 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, two Orion arc welding systems, a BB70 engraver, a microscope system, dual handpiece micro-motor systems, Solidscape 3Z Pro wax printers, Roland JWX-10 milling machines and Wacom 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.

Along the way, students are guided by faculty who are acclaimed, award-winning artists bringing decades of industry insight into the classroom. SCAD jewelry professors exhibit at high-profile shows, galleries and museums across the country, and many are members of highly respected jewelry organizations, including the Art Jewelry Forum, Klimt02 and the Society of North American Goldsmiths.

Under the guidance of these accomplished professors and with access to state-of-the-art technology, jewelry students gain technical proficiency, develop an informed aesthetic style and build a sophisticated portfolio of work aligned to their career goals.

MOVING MASTERPIECES SCAD is the first university to have its own dedicated motion media event, CoMotion, now in its ninth year. Sponsored by MOME Love, the university’s dynamic motion media student organization, CoMotion features speaker panels, portfolio reviews, networking receptions and a student work showcase — and often leads to internships and jobs with top employers. More than 40 digital agencies and organizations visited CoMotion 2018, including Cartoon Network, Facebook, Gentleman Scholar, Wieden+Kennedy and more.

FORWARD MOMENTUM SCAD motion media design students are highly sought after by powerhouse companies in digital media, entertainment, news, sports and more.

Representatives from Apple, CNN, Digital Kitchen, ESPN, FOX Sports, Industrial Light & Magic, loyalkaspar, The Mill, MTV, NBC Sports, Nickelodeon, Showtime Networks, Sony Pictures Entertainment and Turner Broadcasting regularly attend career fairs in Atlanta and Savannah to conduct portfolio reviews and on-campus interviews.

I was impressed by the attention SCAD students paid to going beyond augmented reality placement and creation into animation, sound and editing. These are all things that Google and the industry are experimenting with right now. It was inspirational to see their take on the future of AR creativity.

KELLY SCHAEFER Product manager, Google SCADpro partner

SCAD motion media design students develop the acumen and dexterity inherent in animation, filmmaking, graphic design and visual effects through real-world professional partnerships before they graduate. Participating in SCADpro projects, they have produced content for Adult Swim to use on-air and on social media; developed augmented reality application concepts for Google; and drafted visual design concepts for FOX Sports’ televised coverage of Super Bowl XLVIII and the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

Scripted Series — allow performing arts students to sharpen their on-camera presence.

In an exceptionally collaborative environment, SCAD performing arts students give voice to animations, bring characters to life in sitcoms and television pilots, and extend live performances from stage to themed attractions that use VR for immersive experiences — all available to them at SCAD, in and out of class. The university offers career-launching interaction with professionals through on-site auditions with the best agents, managers and casting directors in the business.

During the annual SCAD Savannah Film Festival and SCAD aTVfest, students learn from the industry’s brightest stars.

The university’s masterclasses and screenings enable students to ask questions, dive into the heart of performance and engage with internationally lauded actors and directors who share their knowledge and experiences. Recent mentors include 2017 Academy Award winner for Best Supporting Actor Mahershala Ali, along with actors John Boyega, Alan Cumming, Richard Gere, Salma Hayek Pinault, Holly Hunter, Robert Pattinson, Kyra Sedgwick, Aaron Sorkin and Sir Patrick Stewart.

Students also perform in SCAD showcases in New York, Los Angeles and Atlanta in front of renowned talent scouts. Through these opportunities, SCAD performing artists investigate a wide range of roles for the application of their talents — casting director, director, agent, actor and more.

SCAD performing arts students gain insight from faculty members who continue to work in showbusiness, including Bethany DeZelle who has been a featured actor in Stranger Things and Underground.

NAMED ONE OF VANITY FAIR’S BREAKOUT STARS OF SUNDANCE 2018 FOR HER ROLE IN PRIVATE LIFE ALONGSIDE KATHRYN HAHN AND PAUL GIAMATTI, KAYLI CARTER SHINES ON STAGE AND ON THE SMALL AND SILVER SCREEN. SINCE HER GRADUATION FROM SCAD, HER TRANSFORMATIVE ROLES INCLUDE CHARACTERS ON THE STEVEN SODERBERGH-PRODUCED GODLESS ON NETFLIX, THE FILM CHARLIE SAYS AND THE TRACY LETTS PLAY MARY PAGE MARLOWE. Q: WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THE SCAD PERFORMING ARTS PROGRAM? When I visited SCAD, I walked in on a rehearsal of a student singing a solo and everyone in the room was supportive and respectful. SCAD felt like a place where I could build myself.

My professors then are now my friends and colleagues.

Q: HOW HAS SCAD SHAPED YOU AS A PROFESSIONAL? SCAD taught me that I’m a businessperson first and an artist second. You don’t get to be an artist until you can be an advocate for your work.

SCAD did a wonderful job of preparing me for the business of acting. Through the SCAD Savannah Film Festival, SCAD aTVfest and the SCAD Casting Office, I experienced the professional world.

Q: WHAT OPPORTUNITIES OUTSIDE OF THE CLASSROOM INSPIRED YOU? The SCAD Savannah Film Festival features the best films of the year. The energy of Savannah and the university is what brings guests back time after time.

PHOTOGRAPHY Photographers reveal the beauty, drama and humanity that we cannot always see, even when it’s right before our very eyes. They document history, nature, culture, art, architecture, politics and lived experiences, intentionally conveying the world through their lenses.

In an era where it seems everyone owns a camera, SCAD instruction leads to artistry and dynamism that rise above picture-taking. Through a comprehensive program at SCAD, students learn the full spectrum of photography — from historic

238

and analog processes to the newest digital technologies that push the medium beyond traditional constraints. Students gain fluency with a variety of camera systems, digital workflows, color and black-and-white techniques, compositing and editing, studio and location lighting, and video shooting and editing, developing expertise through tailored study and faculty mentorship.

Coursework is designed to help students realize a unique creative vision, master visual literacy and launch their careers. While the undergraduate curriculum gives students an opportunity to customize their studies through concentrations in commercial, documentary and fine art photography, graduate students develop a body of work uniquely anchored to their artistic vision and specifically mapped to their career goals. In fact, the SCAD M.F.A. photography program has been ranked among the top photography programs in the U.S. by U.S.

BALANCED COMPOSITION A strong emphasis on internships encourages students to gain real experience outside the classroom. SCAD photography students have served as interns for Annie Leibovitz, Ford Models, Hearst Magazines, The Richard Avedon Foundation, Time Inc., Turner Broadcasting and others.

Photography alumni work for companies including Amazon, Facebook, Field & Stream, Google, Harper’s Bazaar, MTV, Nissan, Popular Mechanics, Ralph Lauren, Saks Fifth Avenue and WebMD. They have been featured in prominent venues across various media: Cosmopolitan, Elle Decor, CNN, MTV, National Geographic, NBC’s Today, Fast Company, Forbes, Garden & Gun, and Interview and W magazines. Alumni have also gone on to publish their own photography books and magazines.

The SCAD photography department is well represented in the professional world, with alumni taking top honors in elite international competitions — including first place in the Panasonic Lumix Changing Photography contest and a Photo District News Curator Award. In recent years, six SCAD students and alumni have been highlighted among PDN’s prestigious “30 New and Emerging Photographers to Watch” and as winners in the PDN Photo Annual.

SCAD hosts hundreds of exhibitions every year, across all locations, allowing students and visitors to contemplate and study the best in contemporary photography.

The award-winning SCAD Museum of Art also houses the 19th- and 20th-century Photography Collection, which includes iconic works by Ansel Adams, Mathew Brady, Robert Mapplethorpe and Man Ray. At events including SCADstyle and SCAD deFINE ART, panel discussions and lectures by noted critics, photographers and other fine artists open new vistas for students as their creative careers come into focus.

DESIGNER, WHOSE FIRST U.S. SOLO EXHIBITION WAS AT SCAD. Q: WHAT INSPIRED THE IMAGERY IN GUO PEI: COUTURE BEYOND? Jim Lind: As soon as I looked at the collection, I knew it was something we had to be a part of. The garments looked magical, so instinctively, we wanted to tell a narrative like a fairy tale. The South has this mystical feel, with the kind of history and realism we wanted to weave into the volume. I wanted a little bit of magic to emanate from each photograph.

WITH FOREST WOODWARD

Q: HOW DID SCAD HELP PREPARE YOU FOR YOUR CAREER?

Elliot Ross: I knew I always wanted to be a photographer and SCAD gave me so many different avenues to explore and nurture ideas. The university has a myriad of tools and toys to experiment with that I wouldn’t have had otherwise. But the most important thing was building the SCAD family, a network of scholars and professionals that surrounds you.

Q: WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT LESSON YOU LEARNED AT SCAD? Patrick O’Brien: At SCAD, you’re exposed to people from all over the world and every type of profession you can think of. SCAD taught me how to network and it’s helped in my career, whether it be for visual effects or a photo workbook. I’ve been able to connect friends in my industry and pass jobs on and feel confident that they’re in good hands. We’re all intertwined socially and professionally.

PRESERVATION DESIGN Viewing architectural significance and historical relevance as elements of a shared heritage, preservation designers restore, repurpose and transform structures of the past to meet contemporary aspirations and future needs. Combining conservation and planning with business and innovation, they celebrate and elevate the built environment, giving new life to neighborhoods and townships.

Preservation design students thrive in the professionally focused learning environment of SCAD, where they gain the strategies that have led to the university’s recognition as an internationally respected preservation engine.

SCAD has breathed new life into more than 100 buildings since its founding, resulting in more than 70 honors from leading organizations. At every turn, SCAD

preservation design students are surrounded by a lauded professional community of preservationists led by SCAD President and Founder Paula Wallace, who has been honored with the highest recognition for individual achievement in preservation, The National Trust for Historic Preservation’s Louise du Pont Crowninshield Award. She is the only university president to receive the honor.

SCAD students have the opportunity to study at university locations in Atlanta, Hong Kong, Savannah and Lacoste, France, each of which exemplifies the vibrancy of preservation design in action. Through projects with partners such as the 1772 Foundation, the Association for Preservation Technology International, the Savannah Development and Renewal Authority, and the Institute of Classical Architecture and Art, students become acutely

aware of the role of advocacy and stewardship in the advancement of heritage.

By understanding local community priorities and real-world business demands, students are able to activate preservation culturally, economically and sustainably.

Preservation design students interact with admired practitioners through classroom visits, on-site learning experiences and international conferences. SCAD has hosted the U.S. National Committee of the International Council on Monuments and Sites symposium; presented workshops and lectures by members of the Congress for the New Urbanism, the National Park Service and the World Monuments Fund; and partnered with the National Trust for Historic Preservation to create and host the National Preservation Conference, titled PastForward, one of the largest and most influential preservation events in the world.

Even before they graduate, SCAD students distinguish themselves in academic and professional circles. They have received scholarships and honors from the Association for Preservation Technology International, the American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works, the Historic American Buildings Survey’s Charles E. Peterson Prize and others. Program alumni step into leadership roles with prominent organizations, including the National Park Service, the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission, the U.S. Capitol Historical Society and more.

PROFITABLE PRESERVATION Preservation design improves both the aesthetics of a region and its financial growth: The Federal Historic Preservation Tax Incentives Program has leveraged more than $84 billion in private investments to preserve and restore some 42,000 projects in its 50-year history, according to the National Park Service. In the state of Georgia, preservation projects created more jobs per $1 million of economic activity than any other sector, including new construction, according to a recent study by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. SCAD preservation design students contribute to this economic boost through real-world projects, including the restoration of a historic train car for the Georgia State Railroad Museum and a comprehensive development proposal for a former department store site in the Savannah area.

A RESTORATIVE LEGACY At its distinctive locations around the world, SCAD has artfully conserved and restored more than 100 historically significant buildings. This enduring legacy is chronicled in SCAD: The Architecture of a University, an exquisite 360-page volume published by Assouline that documents dozens of the university’s most cherished architectural treasures.

PRODUCTION DESIGN Production designers bring stories to life, constructing fantastical scenery for Broadway productions, designing sets for must-see television and cinematic features, and creating visuals for the world’s great live events.

At SCAD, production design students engage in many avenues of the industry, learning to design for traditional productions that offer timeless engagement as well as digital productions that push the frontier of entertainment.

The production design program at SCAD is the only one in the U.S. to offer a comprehensive approach to entertainment design, including film and television, live performance, events and exhibitions, and themed entertainment. The undergraduate curriculum gives students the opportunity to customize their studies through concentrations in theme parks and attractions, set design and art direction, costume design or lighting design. Graduate students advance their production design expertise as they explore theory, conceptualization and professional practice.

Built on a strong foundation of design process and techniques, the program develops students’ storytelling skills for creating memorable experiences. Design opportunities range from recent productions, including

The Wolves, Images, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, Ragtime and Into the Woods; SCAD student-produced live sitcoms like Nailed It! and The Buzz, winner of the 2017 Student Emmy Award for Best Scripted Series; to constructed experiential virtual worlds, such as Destination Imagination, a SCAD student-created themed entertainment VR experience that takes users on a simulated space flight.

SCAD production design students benefit from visits by designers from major productions, including Blade Runner and The Shape of Water, who share their knowledge of the production design industry. Graduates go on to work in a variety of roles, including on films and TV shows such as Ant Man, Atlanta, Avatar, Logan, Saturday Night Live, Veep and The Walking Dead.

WEAR IT BEST SCAD is among the best schools for costume design in the country, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Offered as a concentration in production design and as a minor, students in the program explore the vital role of clothing and accessories in multiple narrative forms. They also have an inside view of masters of the genre through the SCAD Permanent Collection and exhibitions like Dressing for Dystopia: The Handmaid’s Tale Costumes by Ane Crabtree, featuring more than 40 garments from the Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning television series.

256 SCAD.EDU / PRODUCTION-DESIGN

MAKE THE SCENE SCAD production design students benefit from diverse opportunities to hone and practice their artistry. Learning environments include an intimate black-box theater; an Arcadian outdoor amphitheater; three historic proscenium stages for large casts, Broadway-style musicals and dance productions; green screen studios; and film and television studios.

Alumni find such impressive employment because they are the bestprepared candidates for professional positions in set design and art direction, exhibition design, costume and lighting design as well as the scenic arts and as themed attraction designers and stylists for entertainment venues and advertising campaigns. SCAD graduates contribute to Academy Award-winning films; they design imaginative live events and sets, from Broadway productions and the Super Bowl halftime show to the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival; they work with costumes, styling and props for such celebrities as Lady Gaga; and they are employed around the world at 20th Century Fox, ABC, Discovery Communications, Food Network, HBO, HGTV, MTV, NBCUniversal, New American Shakespeare Tavern, New York Theatre Ballet, Nickelodeon, Princess Cruises, Universal Creative, Walt Disney Imagineering and the Wolf Trap Foundation for the Performing Arts.

SCAD coursework allowed me to hone my skills and to see better as an artist. There’s a lot of competition in Hollywood, and my education at SCAD gave me the confidence I needed, and the patience and stamina to keep working hard and focus.

experience our environments in new and surprising ways. Today’s sculptors shape wood, concrete, bronze, light, textiles, sustainable and organic matter, digital projections and other materials into large public art works, movie miniatures, props and prosthetics, inventive industrial prototypes, fine art casting, site-specific installations, set designs and more.

SCAD sculpture students illuminate all aspects of the profession within a studio designed by Pritzker Architecture Prize winner Renzo Piano. Here, sculpture students learn to produce work in a professional context, stimulated by a comprehensive curriculum that explores traditional and nontraditional media.

Throughout the year, guest mentors, who include notable fine artists Lauren Clay, Patrick Dougherty, Jeffrey Gibson, Scott Carter, Masud Olufani, Fred Wilson, master prop builder for Marvel Universe Russell Bobbitt and representatives from

prestigious organizations such as Ford Motor Company, conduct studio sessions, review and critique work, offer lectures, hold workshops and mentor students through high-profile collaborations.

Through SCADpro partnerships, students helped create and install a custom, six-story ironwork sculpture for Hotel Indigo. In addition, students assisted the Atlanta Football Host Committee with research and development concepts for a moveable sculpture for the College Football Playoff National Championship. These real-world design projects and professional interactions enable SCAD sculptors to attain the experience and portfolio power necessary to

land fulfilling jobs in today’s art, design, film, entertainment and innovation sectors.

SCAD sculpture student and alumni work has been featured in media outlets including CNN and Wired magazine, in the studios of NBCUniversal, on the sets of Marvel films and for on-the-pulse brands like Anthropologie.

SEQUENTIAL ART Sequential artists weave narrative with visual art to tell meaningful stories and plot adventures in comic books, graphic novels, cartoons, comic strips, children’s books, video games and storyboards.

SCAD was the first university to offer both undergraduate and graduate degrees in sequential art. Students at global SCAD locations explore every style and

264

genre imaginable in this action-packed creative discipline through a progressive curriculum that incorporates traditional techniques with advanced technology and specialized digital applications.

To complement their course of study, students have a breadth of diverse electives from which to choose, including manga and superhero comics, cartooning, character design, advanced storyboarding, publishing, painting for comics, cover illustration, sequential art for emerging media, maquette design, advanced studies in human and animal anatomy, and sequential picture books for children. SCAD sequential art students also may minor in design for 3-D action figures to transform their characters from the two-dimensional page to three-dimensional form.

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

STAND-UP COMICS SCAD sequential art students gain hands-on experience through professional partnerships in addition to internships with companies and creators, including Marvel Comics, Floyd County Productions and Brian Stelfreeze, artist of the revived Black Panther comic series.

In SCADpro-sponsored projects, students have sketched up visual concepts for Hallmark that depict the power of greeting cards and penned short stories for Lowe’s Innovation Labs that show far-future visions of people and technology.

THAT’S EPIC Sequential art students learn from and interact with masters of the genre. The department features the largest sequential art faculty in the U.S. and includes Chesley Award, Harvey Award and Ignatz Award winners, a New York Times best-selling graphic novelist, a Marvel Comics series creator, and artists and authors featured in prestigious publications around the world. SCAD also hosts many illustrious guests: comics mogul Stan Lee; former Marvel Comics editor-in-chief Axel Alonso; AfterShock Comics editor-in-chief Mike Marts; Oni Press publisher James Lucas Jones; comiXology marketing and business development guru Chip Mosher; legendary illustrator James Gurney; graphic novelist Art Spiegelman; cartoonist Jules Feiffer; Mad magazine greats Jack Davis and Al Jaffee; comics theorist Scott McCloud; DC Comics art director Mark Chiarello; comics creator Mark Schultz; Sandman illustrator Jill Thompson; and webcomic artist Scott Kurtz.

SCAD sequential art students win top honors for their work and have earned Applied Arts student awards, Red Dot Communication Design awards and Society of Illustrators student scholarships.

Alumni go on to lead successful careers in mainstream and alternative comic production, education, illustration, model sculpting for action figures, concept design for animation, and drawing storyboards for major animated films, television, commercials, feature films and video games. They land internships and full-time positions with prominent companies such

process, marrying developments in digital technology with insights into anthropology and human behavior. In health care, service designers prioritize the patient experience through such innovations as improving the MRI scan procedure, among others. At Philips Healthcare, savvy professionals designed an interactive MRI experience for children, inviting them to bring stuffed animals into the machine and to select an animation to project onto the interior walls of the equipment — making patients and their families more comfortable while simultaneously improving outcomes. From entertainment, finance, government, hospitality and beyond, service designers anticipate the future. They make life easier for customers and generate successful results for companies.

Students learn how to research and analyze human behavior, societal needs, business models and competitive environments — and transform those insights into strategy.

in the private and public sectors, where they spearhead change and manage multidisciplinary teams. Service design student projects have won Red Dot Design Awards and appeared in Touchpoint, the international trade magazine of the Service Design Network. SCAD service design graduates work at Amazon, Apple, IBM, Lowe’s, Microsoft and elite global design consultancies AKQA, Fjord, IDEO and others. As the field of service design rapidly grows in importance and stature across the world, graduates of the SCAD service design program are helping companies and organizations envision and create a more humane, more functional and more highly evolved future for all.

SCAD students Kira Chung (Seoul, South Korea), Anna Kahn (Phoenixville, Pennsylvania) and Camila Sanoja (Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic) integrated personal shoppers and casual dining with their Reed’s Habitat concept, a restaurant located inside a supermarket chain that would offer mobile grocery shopping to its patrons.

Think about it: Where do you connect with people, products and experiences?

If you’re like most adults online, you’re more likely to follow a brand on social media, more likely to recommend it to others based on online customer service, and more likely to be influenced by a company’s virtual presence when deciding your purchases. Social media, like advertising on Instagram, is a key driver of e-commerce, with touchpoints throughout the shopping experience, from the first interaction with a brand to customer retention. Social media professionals are the architects of this experience. They’re the creative directors, content creators and community managers who orchestrate compelling videos, photography,

social strategy and management students are prepared to capitalize on influential professional opportunities.

Merging elements of advertising, branding, photography, film, television and writing, the program features a focused exploration of text-based communication and web-based immersive experiences. Students learn to critically analyze performance metrics to build creative approaches that foster brand allegiance, develop new markets and connect global audiences.

Within the context of the preeminent art and design university, where advanced technology and a spirit of innovation infuse every campus location, SCAD students become adept in all aspects of creating compelling campaigns across platforms.

They develop a distinctive writing voice as they author blog posts, podcast and video scripts, and marketing copy that entertains, informs and attracts organic traffic.

Attention-grabbing photos complement written content and videos for broadcast on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and Snapchat to further support brand strategy.

Rounding out their education, SCAD social strategy and management students also master account management on behalf of clients, customer service and support, campaign budgets, analytics, vendor evaluation and brand integration. They learn how to measure and optimize campaign performance such as audience growth, audience engagement, content reach and response rate, and to refine strategy and recommend improvements based on measurable results. They coordinate online brand advocacy and cross-promotion, manage influencer relations, and chart marketing and media partnerships that monetize brand strategy across social media.

SCAD social strategy and management students customize their degree programs en route to a skillfully directed creative career through minors in advertising, branded entertainment, film and television, graphic design, marketing for mobile and interactive environments, motion media design and writing, among others.

SOUND DESIGN From film and television and game development to live performances and immersive reality, sound designers compose the dialogue, sound effects and music SCAD.EDU / SOUND-DESIGN

that transport audiences.

SCAD is the first and only university to confer B.F.A., M.A. and M.F.A. degrees in sound design. Here, students become virtuosos who can do it all. To learn the techniques and execution behind masterful sonic narratives, students are immersed in a curriculum that models the tools, workflow and aesthetics of commercial media production. SCAD provides students the opportunity to enhance their education by earning professional certifications with Sibelius, Wwise and Avid Pro Tools in postproduction, music production and Avid S6 and Icon mixing techniques, while minors such as sound editing allow students to develop nuanced specializations.

State-of-the-art resources support the curriculum and include three industrylevel mix stages, two of which are HDX-supported and contain a full complement

278

of 5.1 music and 7.1 film mixing software; four Pro Tools HD Native rigs; 86 Pro Tools workstations; a MIDI mock-up room with a range of synthesis and sampling technologies; five classrooms housing Pro Tools workstations; four ADR suites; three recording studios for music, Foley and film scoring; and three rooms for dialogue recording and editing.

Equipment includes five fully outfitted production sound carts for film and television production. SCAD is home to a sound effects and licensed music library with 2,500 hours of effects and millions of files, which students use in developing highly sophisticated soundtracks.

Preeminent faculty members — Academy Award, Emmy Award and Motion Picture Sound Editors Golden Reel Award winners, authors of books on the subject matter, and collaborators on film franchises and movies including Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Die Hard, Predator, Edward Scissorhands, The Green Mile, Speed, and TV shows

including Better Things, Futurama, Lady Dynamite, Scrubs, The 100 and more — mentor students as they grow into dynamic and sought-after sound design professionals. Distinguished members of the sound design community also frequently lecture and provide advice during events such as the SCAD Savannah Film Festival, SCAD aTVfest and more.

Thanks in part to this guidance, sound design students and alumni have gone on to acclaim, earning Emmy Awards, Red Dot Design Awards, Student Golden Reels and the prestigious Verna Fields Award for Student Filmmakers as part of the Motion Picture Sound Editors Golden Reel Awards. SCAD sound design students also contributed to student sitcom The Buzz, winner of the Student Emmy Award for Best Scripted Series,

and have taken top honors at the New York Film Awards and the Southern Short Film Festival. Alumni contribute to Academy Award-winning films, among other accolades, and work for Antfood, Blizzard Entertainment, Electronic Arts, Facebook, Naughty Dog, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Walt Disney Imagineering and more.

DID YOU HEAR? SCAD sound design students had the unique opportunity to record ambient Earth sounds — busy streets, ocean waves, birdsong and more — that NASA sent aboard the International Space Station to convey the tones of home. They have also recorded blasts from Civil War-era cannons and military jet takeoffs on trips through the program’s field effects course.

SCAD.EDU / TELEVISION-PRODUCING

TELEVISION PRODUCING From pitching new shows to casting creative teams to supervising shooting, scheduling and distribution, television producing professionals inhabit a wide variety of roles across live, remote, studio, promotional and prerecorded programming.

SCAD students learn the television business from the inside out in the fastestgrowing and most connected film and television production hot spot — Atlanta, Georgia, the epicenter of a $7 billion statewide industry. As home to Cartoon Network, CNN, Cox Communications, FOX Sports, Turner Broadcasting, The Weather Channel and hundreds of annual film productions, Atlanta offers students access to valuable hands-on opportunities, top-tier internships and career-building connections. Top casting directors, writers and producers regularly visit the

282

classrooms and attend SCAD signature events. These career-making connections take the spotlight at SCAD aTVfest, an international event celebrating the latest in television and media production, where screenings, panel discussions and receptions take students behind the scenes.

The course of study requires four separate field internships in television, video, digital media or film production to ensure SCAD students gain real-world experience and television-producing credits before entering the job market. Classes are held in the SCAD Digital Media Center, a fully equipped television studio that also supports related digital media fields such as animation and motion media design. Students work on high-end television production sets and in editing suites, a multicamera studio, sound recording and mixing suites, screening spaces, and set and prop fabrication studios. The SCAD Digital Media Center is production-ready and enables students to conceive, shoot and produce entire programs under one roof. SCAD television producing students intern at A&E, Adult Swim, BET, CNN, TNT and Tyler Perry Studios during their studies, while alumni work for Cartoon Network, Turner Broadcasting and Univision, among others.

SCAD.EDU / THEMED-ENTERTAINMENT

THEMED ENTERTAINMENT DESIGN Themed entertainment designers invent the immersive worlds and memorable moments of our favorite entertainment parks, attractions, resorts, restaurants and museums around the globe.

Part set designer, part storyteller and part events producer, themed entertainment professionals are architects of the imagination. They help create the riveting rollercoasters, rides and experiences of the world’s foremost theme parks, from Disney’s Twilight Zone Tower of Terror to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios Hollywood. These designers work on a smaller scale, too, inventing and orchestrating more intimate moments for park visitors, such as SeaWorld’s Stingray Lagoon.

SCAD offers the first and only M.F.A. program in themed entertainment design,

286

a compelling, synergistic field that combines architecture and media content with the narrative power of film and live theater. Students work with peers in animation, interactive design and game development, interior design, production design, sequential art, sound design, visual effects and other disciplines to add depth and dimension to their work.

Themed entertainment design students at SCADpro have recently partnered with Hong Kong Disneyland to create immersive hotel rooms that bring the park experience and park characters into each room — digitally and experientially.

Students also collaborated with Chick-fil-A to develop interior design and

SCAD.EDU / URBAN-DESIGN

URBAN DESIGN Urban designers examine and influence the relationships between a city and its buildings, and between open spaces and the people who inhabit them. They synthesize the connections between the built and natural environments as they consider a range of aesthetic, cultural, ecological, economic, political and social challenges. Their study stretches from street level to far beyond the cityscape, transforming cities and regions around the world into more beautiful, functional and green places.

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 significance with modern innovation to shape tomorrow’s cities. Based in Savannah, urban design students live and study amid one of the most celebrated city plans in the world — a plan

290

visionary urban designer Edmund Bacon hailed as “one of the finest diagrams for city organization and growth in existence.” Beyond the lush squares and cobblestone streetscape of Savannah, students may choose to spend a quarter or more at one of the university’s global locations, examining the prosperity of flourishing metropolises on two continents or the idyllic beauty of a medieval French village.

Through research and case studies, SCAD urban design students explore ways to enhance cultural vibrancy and foster a resilient urban ecology. They collaborate on city planning initiatives with municipalities and institutions to improve urban growth. Access to resources such as Esri CityEngine Advanced, model shops and hybrid graphics labs equipped with 3-D modeling software help students realize their visions for the landscape. In a recent collaboration with Esri, urban design students created a detailed, 3-D printed scale model of Savannah’s historic district with data generated by CityEngine Advanced.

LIVING HISTORY SCAD urban design students have the opportunity to extend their studies beyond Savannah to the university’s locations around the globe. Students may spend a quarter or more exploring the radiant growth and abundant green spaces of Atlanta; the symbiotic relationship of futuristic skyscrapers and centuries of culture in Hong Kong; or the pastoral beauty and ancient stone structures of Lacoste, France. In each of these locations, students observe firsthand how the city evolves and functions.

TALK OF THE TOWN At the forefront of urban design, SCAD has creatively reimagined the cityscape at each of its locations. The university has adaptively repurposed over 100 buildings into state-of-the-art learning centers, including the artful transformation of a former courthouse, hospital, synagogue, train depot and more. SCAD has received more than 70 awards for its work modernizing historic structures across the globe, including recognition from UNESCO for the restoration of the former North Kowloon Magistracy Building in Hong Kong. The university’s most inspiring and storied spaces were documented in the monograph SCAD: The Architecture of a University, published by Assouline.

USER EXPERIENCE (UX) DESIGN Among today’s most in-demand professionals, UX designers dream up revolutionary design products, solutions and services — both digital and physical — that reinvent

SCAD.EDU / UX-DESIGN

and reinvigorate how companies connect with customers and stay competitive.

294

From mobile devices to intelligent clothing, automobile interiors to health care informatics, UX designers harness the power of technology to help organizations understand how customer behavior drives decisions, interpreting the results to evolve their product and service offerings. A well-rounded UX designer is a skilled researcher, effective programmer and visionary designer. At SCAD, UX design students learn how to master all three roles, developing their creative, technical and analytical skills to take on the challenges of tomorrow.

As observers of human behavior, students use research methodologies to uncover deep insights about the needs, wants and motivations that drive individuals. As programmers, they communicate directly with developers, aiding in the production of innovative solutions and front-end prototypes.

As designers, students tackle 21st-century problems, drive the conversation and create new solutions. Using materials ranging from graphics and 3-D models to sensors and actuators, they produce beautiful product-

service systems and memorable experiences.

Thanks to sophisticated, hands-on classroom learning, SCAD students swept the student category of the 2017 UX Awards, the first awards to honor the innovators behind the digital products and services that define our world. SCAD students won first place for SPARK, an adaptive rehabilitation platform that uses intelligent projectors and a 3-D infrared sensor to guide physical therapy patients through their recovery.

In addition to taking the top honor, two SCAD projects tied for honorable mention — the only other distinction awarded.

SCAD faculty and academic leadership collaborated with Google to develop the program’s groundbreaking curriculum focused on four foundational pillars: human behavior, technical

proficiency, aesthetics and collaboration. In their coursework, students learn the fundamentals of graphic design, industrial design and interaction design, all supported by a strong studio experience, mathematics and programming.

Through mentorships and collaborations with companies such as 3M, Capital One, Facebook, Hewlett-Packard, The Home Depot, Instagram, Microsoft and others, students prepare to take this rapidly growing industry by storm.

This degree program was developed in collaboration with Google.

CREATIVE CONNECTIONS SCAD offers the only B.F.A. in user experience design in the U.S. Tech giant Google helped develop the degree program and joins forces with students through annual workshops, Google Hangouts and in-person sessions on campus. SCAD user experience design students have risen to the top of their field, including Jenn Lee (San Jose, California), who won the Red Dot Communication Design award for her project, Meuni, a social app that connects users with similar interests.

VISUAL EFFECTS Visual effects artists combine aesthetics and technology, the analog with the digital, to transform creative vision into vivid and fantastical sequences that leave a lasting imprint on the minds of audiences.

At SCAD, students prepare to become leaders in this imaginative discipline through a foundation in fine arts courses and an emphasis on collaboration. They learn to draw and design in the classical tradition, and then integrate those creative skills with digital tools, computer programming and technical prowess. They also master practical hands-on techniques producing props and prosthetics, set designs and special effects makeup, and models and miniatures as a means of becoming wellrounded 3-D artists.

Students work within SCAD environments that reflect the highest standards of digital entertainment production. SCAD visual effects students collaborate with their peers studying animation, film and television, interactive design and game development, motion media design, sound design and more on projects that mirror industry standards. Students have the opportunity to expand their studies through

When I started my career, there was very little I was unfamiliar with — many of the projects I worked on professionally, I had already experienced at SCAD.

Q: WHAT OPPORTUNITIES AT SCAD STOOD OUT FOR YOU? The university often brings in people from the industry to speak with students, and it’s a huge advantage. At workshops, I saw examples of what professionals were doing in visual effects, and it gave me my footing by showing me where I could fit in and what I could strive to do.

Q: WHAT RESOURCES DID YOU TAKE ADVANTAGE OF AT SCAD? Montgomery Hall is a 24-hour building, which means you can be creative at any time.

It has an industry-standard render farm, so if you wanted to work on a personal project for your demo reel, you could go to sleep, wake up in the morning and have it ready for you, all in a matter of hours. Without that technology, it would take weeks and hundreds of dollars to do on your own.

Q: HOW DID SCAD PREPARE YOU FOR YOUR CAREER? SCAD professors truly understand the visual effects pipeline. The university put me in a great position to market myself to companies where I applied and to go after the jobs I was interested in. SCAD prepared me for all facets of the professional world, from software skill sets to visual effects concepts all the way to interview skills and development of résumés and websites.

and newspapers, including The New York Times, Harper’s Bazaar, Swink Magazine, USA Today and others. Even before graduating, SCAD students have secured literary agents and sold books and book proposals.

Graduates of the program go on to land internships and jobs at ABC News, Algonquin Books, The Atlantic, BET, Bustle, Disney Consumer Products, Georgia Public Broadcasting, Havas Worldwide, IBM, Marvel Comics, Paste magazine, Penguin Random House, Scripps Networks Interactive, Time magazine and Vanity Fair.

SCAD writing students learn to write in corporate and nonprofit settings, to market themselves and promote their work, and to successfully pitch their story ideas to publications. Graduate students engage in internships and complete a full-length work or collection of short works.

GENERAL EDUCATION SCHOOL OF LIBERAL ARTS

The SCAD School of Liberal Arts offers students an academically rigorous general education program that provides the intellectual foundation and breadth of knowledge critical for lifelong learning. Engagement with the SCAD general education program gives students the agency to deepen their academic practice and view the world critically and inquisitively. Through university-level coursework, students learn to investigate, interpret and defend new ideas, and engage mindfully and professionally within complex and diverse communities. Each SCAD general education course is taught by highly credentialed, professionally experienced educators, who regularly present their work throughout North America, Europe and Asia, and who publish their work and research in international academic journals and publications.

The SCAD general education program focuses on achievement of six learning outcomes for all undergraduate students: 1. RESEARCH, ANALYSIS AND SYNTHESIS

All undergraduate students complete a minimum of 55 quarter hours (or at least 11 classes) of general education coursework, including at least one class from each of the following categories: humanities/fine arts, social/behavioral sciences and mathematics/natural sciences. Students should consult their programs of study for specific curriculum requirements.

The School of Liberal Arts also offers myriad learning resources and events to the entire SCAD community, including the SCAD Speaker Lab and SCAD Math Lab. 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, from determining the ratios and angles for a work of perspective art to the properties of algorithms used in virtual reality and interactive design. Through the annual Liberal Arts at Light Speed event, students journey to a galaxy far, far away and explore the varied, creative ways that math, science, literature and the social sciences helped bring the Star Wars universe to life.

Students in the SCAD School of Liberal Arts courses put their investigative and analytic skills to the test at field studies from coastal Georgia to metropolitan Hong Kong.

SCAD LANGUAGE STUDIO ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE

SCAD is an international university with locations on three continents, with students from more than 100 countries. Through an intensive, immersive English as a Second Language program with an art and design focus, the SCAD Language Studio improves the language proficiency of non-native English speakers

SCAD.EDU / SLS

by engaging them in the SCAD community from day one of enrollment through an authentic studio experience and active participation in university life.

Students enrolled in SLS participate in a blended learning approach to language acquisition. In addition to collaborative in-class experiences, students learn beyond the classroom through an innovative digital learning environment and a variety of SCAD events. These activities may include observing for-credit courses or attending lectures and 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 on speaking skills, reading, writing and listening.

316

The SCAD Language Studio also offers the English Language Program, which provides instruction to international students interested in exclusively developing their English to further their career or personal goals. Students who successfully complete the ELP and apply to SCAD will have fulfilled the language proficiency requirements up to Level V as they begin their programs of study.

Throughout their English language study, students work closely with instructors who hold advanced degrees in ESL education and instruction, applied linguistics, foreign language education and related fields.

ESL courses are preparatory for degree-granting coursework and do not carry credit toward a degree program. After an interview or with permission from SLS, students who receive a waiver for SLS may be eligible to enroll in ESL coursework or participate in English language tutoring if they desire assistance with language or cultural transitions.

UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS Undergraduate programs embrace a wide range of disciplines and are designed to challenge students to perform at a high level, preparing them for professional careers. A well-rounded curriculum provides students with core courses in foundation studies and general education leading to focused majors that emphasize discipline-specific 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 provides 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.

Bachelor of Fine Arts degree The Bachelor of Fine Arts degree program is a four-year course of study requiring 180 quarter credit hours (equivalent to 120 semester credit hours) and incorporating a foundation studies curriculum, general education curriculum, major program curriculum and electives. The Bachelor of Fine Arts curriculum is designed to focus intently on acquiring knowledge and skill in the arts and design. In the foundation studies curriculum, students explore the fundamental principles, elements and techniques of art and design. In the general education curriculum, students are exposed to a broad base of knowledge that enables them to think critically and inquisitively about the world around them. In the curriculum of their chosen major, students work toward developing knowledge, skills and a level of mastery in a specific discipline. Students are required to take electives to broaden their experience and interests.

SCAD Core The SCAD Core of foundation studies and general education courses provides undergraduate students with the essential skills necessary for success at SCAD. Foundation studies courses build visual, conceptual and creative abilities essential to students’ academic and professional development. General education courses are designed to develop students as critical thinkers by providing an intellectual foundation and breadth of knowledge for lifelong learning.

Foundation studies courses In foundation studies courses in drawing and design, students explore the fundamentals of visual language, the development of creative solutions, and the art and design of critique.

General education courses SCAD general education courses offer students an academically rigorous learning experience that provides the intellectual foundation and breadth of knowledge critical for lifelong learning. Through universitylevel coursework, students learn to investigate, interpret and defend new ideas, and engage mindfully and professionally within complex and diverse communities. Collectively, the SCAD general education program focuses on achievement of six learning outcomes: research, analysis and synthesis; historical investigation and contextualization; cross-cultural knowledge and engagement; strategic communication; digital fluency; leadership and professionalism.

All undergraduate students complete a minimum of 55 quarter hours (or at least 11 classes) of general education coursework, including at least one class from each of the following categories: humanities/fine arts, social/behavioral sciences and mathematics/natural sciences.

Students should consult their programs of study for specific curriculum requirements.

Humanities/fine arts SCAD general education courses categorized as humanities/fine art courses examine works of cultural production within diverse contexts, preparing students to identify, analyze, and describe form, content, function and meaning. Courses such as Visual Culture in Context: Caves to Cathedrals; Ink to Ideas: Critical Concepts in Literature and Writing; Wonder Women: Feminist Expression in Literature; Music Appreciation; Aesthetics; and Studies in Existential Philosophy satisfy the SCAD humanities/fine arts requirement.

Mathematics/natural sciences SCAD general education courses categorized as natural sciences/ mathematics teach students how to gather and use empirical evidence to analyze, predict and/or describe phenomena, quantity, structure, space or time. Courses such as General Anatomy, Introduction to Astronomy, Environmental Science, College Mathematics, Evidence and Inference: The Power of Statistics, The Geometry of Physical Space and Applied Physics satisfy the SCAD mathematics/natural sciences requirement.

Social/behavioral sciences SCAD general education courses categorized as social/behavioral science courses emphasize the study of human behavior, identity and development, and the fundamentals of qualitative and quantitative research. Courses such as Introduction to Anthropology; Language,

Culture and Society; The Design of Business; Introduction to Psychology; Psychology of Group Processes and Introduction to Economics satisfy the SCAD social/behavioral sciences requirement.

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. Students should consult their student success adviser when selecting any general education course to ensure that the course meets the requirements of the program. Similarly, students should contact their faculty adviser when selecting any elective course to ensure the course meets the requirements of the program. Students must meet prerequisites in order to register for any course.

Undergraduate certificate SCAD offers an undergraduate certificate program in digital publishing, which can be earned in combination with any undergraduate degree, except the B.F.A. in graphic design, the B.A. in visual communication with a concentration in graphic design or the graphic design minor.

Current students may pursue the certificate by contacting their success adviser. Degree-seeking students must complete certificate coursework prior to or within the final quarter of registration in degree coursework.

New students may apply for admission to a certificate program by following the undergraduate admission requirements.

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 extending their time to completion. 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 success adviser. Students also should verify that 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 verify that 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 success adviser.

In order to receive designation of a minor on his or her transcript, a student must declare the minor with a success 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 (580 or above) or the ACT (24 or above); or by presenting proof of qualifying math scores on Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, College-level 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 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 580, 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 discussion-based 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.

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. International students who take the ESL placement test and place below level five have FYE topics incorporated into their ESL coursework.

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 research, 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 program includes 180 undergraduate credit hours at the preprofessional level and 90 graduate credit hours at the professional level for a total of 270 quarter credit hours (equivalent to 180 semester credit hours).

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.

Acceptance of a student with a preprofessional or preparatory degree in architecture from another institution 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 up to five additional graduate-level intensive courses, bringing the student’s required course of study to a total of 95 to 115 quarter credit hours.

The architecture program in its entirety encompasses a foundation studies curriculum, general education curriculum, major 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.

Master of Arts degree The SCAD Master of Arts degree is an initial graduate program that requires 45 quarter credit hours (equivalent to 30 semester credit hours) of graduate-level coursework. Students who wish to pursue the M.A. degree should possess a commitment to: explore a field in depth; develop a high degree of creative and technical proficiency; produce research/scholarly work; and participate in a vibrant university community. The SCAD M.A. degree prepares students for employment in creative professions or for pursuit of advanced graduate degrees such as the Master of Fine Arts or the Doctor of Philosophy.

The M.A. degree may be research and/or practice oriented, offering students a focused educational experience that engages them in the history, theory and methods of the chosen discipline. The M.A. degree

SCAD.EDU / POLICIES

culminates with completion of a final project or thesis course. In this course, students complete a graduate-level project that demonstrates mastery and application of the techniques and concepts of the discipline and a high degree of intellectual or artistic proficiency.

330

The M.A. degree requires a minimum of one year to complete, with all quarter credit hours in residency at SCAD (these can include eLearning and study abroad hours.) At the time of admission, students with exceptional motivation who meet entry-level admission requirements but fail to demonstrate adequate discipline-specific knowledge and/or practice through their portfolios, may be assigned up to five additional graduate-level intensive courses, bringing the student’s required course of study to a total of 50 to 70 quarter credit hours.

Master of Fine Arts degree The Master of Fine Arts degree is recognized as the terminal degree for many art and design professions and requires 90 quarter credit hours (equivalent to 60 semester hours) of graduate-level coursework.

The SCAD M.F.A. degree is an advanced graduate program that builds mastery and professional competence in research and studio practice through scholarly engagement with the history, theory and methods of the chosen discipline. Most M.F.A. programs also require at least one graduate internship, providing students with a mentored experience of professional practice.

The M.F.A. degree culminates with completion of a graduate-level thesis that presents a mature, resolved body of work, and demonstrates advanced professional competence through mastery of the technical, creative and aesthetic elements of the discipline. Reviewed by a graduate thesis committee and completed as part of the thesis course(s), the M.F.A. thesis body of work may be visual, written or a combination of the two. The visual component of the M.F.A. thesis demonstrates advanced professional competence in studio or design practice and is exhibited, presented or published in a professional or scholarly setting. The written component may be a stand-alone scholarly research paper, or the research, ideation and concept development supporting and contextualizing the visual component (e.g., process book, artist statement, project documents, and preproduction and production materials.)

The M.F.A. program requires a minimum of two years to complete, with the final 45 quarter hours in residence at SCAD (these can include eLearning and study abroad hours). At the time of admission, students with exceptional motivation who meet entry-level admission requirements but fail to demonstrate adequate discipline-specific knowledge and/or practice through their portfolios, may be assigned up to five additional graduate-level intensive courses, bringing the student’s required course of study to a total of 95 to 115 quarter credit hours.

Master of Urban Design degree The Master of Urban Design program requires 90 quarter credit hours (equivalent to 60 semester credit hours) of graduate-level courses in studio, historical, theoretical and related areas. The program requires a minimum of two years for completion, with the final 45 quarter hours in residence at SCAD. The program culminates with a thesis exhibition, project, presentation or other publicly presented work demonstrating professional-level competency, accompanied by a written component and reviewed by a graduate thesis committee. Formal faculty reviews of sample student work and progress are conducted. The M.U.D. program requires at least one field or teaching internship to provide students with a mentored experience of professional practice.

COURSE CATALOG OF ENTRY 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 submit a graduation application for readmission through the registrar’s office for continuation under the current program of study. The application is reviewed by the appropriate academic administrators.

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 success and a faculty adviser to support them during their SCAD tenure.

Success 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 success adviser as needed.

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

Graduate students are assigned both faculty and graduate success advisers at orientation. These advisers regularly provide assistance with course selection and professional development and help guide students toward fulfillment of requirements for certificate or degree programs.

SCAD eLearning students are assigned faculty and success advisers at orientation. SCAD eLearning staff members also provide assistance for eLearning students.

Students who must fulfill English as a Second Language requirements are also assigned an ESL faculty adviser at orientation.

DECLARING A MAJOR Incoming first-time freshmen enter SCAD as undeclared majors. Firstyear students have the opportunity to declare a major during their first quarter of enrollment but may remain undeclared through their sophomore year. While undeclared, students are required to consult with their success 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 success adviser.

Undergraduate students who wish to declare or change a major must consult with a success 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 success adviser. Students may declare a major or minor only at a SCAD location where it is offered.

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 2½ hours twice weekly for a total of 50 hours of instruction during the 10-week quarter.

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-of-class 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.

DEFINITION OF A CREDIT HOUR 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. 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 4 4

B Good 3 3

C Average 2 2

D Poor 1 0

F Failing 0 0 The following codes may appear on transcripts and do not affect a student’s grade-point average.

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

FULL-TIME STATUS 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 fulltime undergraduate student is defined as one who is registered for at least 15 quarter credit hours 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 credit hours per quarter.

Graduate students may register for more than 15 quarter hours only with the permission of the chair and by contacting their graduate success adviser.

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

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 344. 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. 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 success adviser in advance if they expect to miss classes during the first week.

Students taking online courses 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.

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.

DROPPING AND ADDING COURSES

SCAD.EDU / POLICIES

The first five business days of each 10-week quarter are designated the drop/add period when students may change their course schedules.

332

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 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 success 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 of concerns about academic integrity (see the “Academic Integrity” policy on page 347 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, complete an online withdrawal survey, 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.

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 success 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 crossregistration 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 outcomes 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.

TRANSIENT STATUS/CREDIT 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 success 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 success 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.

INACTIVE STATUS/READMISSION 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 Free Application for Federal Student Aid 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 until graduation by completing at least one program fulfillment course in two separate quarters during each 12-month period of enrollment until completion of all degree requirements or until the student withdraws by written notification to the office of the registrar. Students who attempt but do not complete all requirements of the thesis course(s) receive an incomplete and are automatically enrolled in THES 799 Continuing Thesis. Continuing thesis provides one additional quarter of support and resources for students to complete their thesis requirements at

SCAD.EDU / POLICIES

334

no additional charge. As part of THES 799 Continuing Thesis, students must meet with their graduate success adviser during the first week of classes to establish a Thesis Completion Plan, specifying how students will successfully complete all remaining thesis requirements by the end of the quarter. At the end of one quarter of THES 799, if students still fail to complete their thesis requirements, their incomplete for the thesis course will automatically change to an F unless they follow the university’s temporary grade of incomplete policy and request an extension of their incomplete status for an additional five weeks.

Information regarding the university’s temporary grade of incomplete policy may be found at scad.edu/temporary-grade-incomplete.

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. 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.

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 or will miss more than four class sessions, 20 percent of classes in a quarter, is not eligible for a grade of incomplete.

ACADEMIC STANDING 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 success 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 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 courses attempted, earn a grade-point average of 2.0 or greater, meet with a success adviser prior to registering for courses 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.

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.

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 or designee, 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

The university provides all SCAD students a streamlined process to submit their academic complaints and appeals through academicappeals@ scad.edu. Appropriate academic services administrators, based on the nature and the location of the matter, participate in the process to resolve complaints and appeals.

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

Academic integrity appeals

336

The student has five business days from the date on the written notice within which to appeal the academic integrity 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. An appeal decision is communicated in writing within 30 calendar days of the written appeal. The decision is final.

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 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 unless a procedural or material error has occurred, in which case the student can request a reconsideration. The opportunity to submit a request for reconsideration is not provided to refute or express dissatisfaction with the appeal response. Instead, a student may submit a written request for reconsideration only if a procedural or material error occurred that significantly impacted the outcome of the investigation. A description of the error and its impact on the outcome of the appeal must be included in the written request for reconsideration. This written request must be received within five calendar days of receipt of the appeal response.

Procedures for general non-academic complaints Non-academic student complaints, other than the specific complaints outlined in a subsequent section, are submitted in writing to the dean of students for SCAD Savannah, SCAD Lacoste and SCAD eLearning students or the dean of students for SCAD Atlanta students or the director of student success for SCAD Hong Kong students.

The complaint must include the student’s full name, student ID number, SCAD email address and phone number. The complaint must be submitted within 30 calendar days of the incident and describe the issue of concern in detail, including the date, time and place of the occurrence; the names of any persons involved, including any witnesses; other relevant information or documentation; and the desired outcome.

The complaint must be signed by the student or sent from the student’s SCAD email account.

A written response will be provided to the student within 30 calendar days of receipt of the written complaint. If dissatisfied with the response, the student may submit a written appeal to the senior vice president

for admission and student success, located in Savannah, in accordance with the following process.

Procedures for appeals of general non-academic complaints General non-academic appeals are student requests for exceptions to the university’s student services policies. Unless specifically stated otherwise (see below), all such appeals must be submitted in writing to the senior vice president for admission and student success in the format noted above within 14 calendar days following notification of any decision or action. Submissions may be sent to the office of the senior vice president for admission and student success, located in Bradley Hall, 115 E. York St., Savannah, Georgia; mailing address: P.O. Box 3146, Savannah, GA 31402; or nonacademicappeals@scad.edu.

All supporting documentation must be attached to the appeal; failure to do so may halt the appeal process. The senior vice president for admission and student success will determine the final action and respond to the student within 30 calendar days of receipt of the appeal. The decision is final.

Procedures for specific non-academic complaints Following is a summary of the procedures for submitting specific non-academic complaints and appeals, including appeals to student conduct and/or disciplinary action, discrimination complaints, financial and student accounts appeals, and admission appeals. Students should refer to procedures outlined in the student handbook and on scad.edu/policies for the complaint and appeal procedures for other specific non-academic complaints, such as ADA grievances and sexual discrimination, sexual harassment, and sexual misconduct grievances.

Code of Student Conduct and disciplinary action appeals A finding of a violation of the Code of Student Conduct and/or imposition of a sanction(s) may be appealed by the respondent (or by the complainant) within three business days of the decision. Appeals must be submitted in writing from a student’s SCAD email address or as a hard copy to the office of the dean of students. Appeals from Hong Kong, Savannah, Lacoste and eLearning students should be submitted to the office of the dean of students in Savannah (deanofstudents@scad.edu); appeals from SCAD Atlanta students should be submitted to the dean of students at SCAD Atlanta (doss@scad.edu).

Sex-based discrimination, sexual harassment, and sexual misconduct policy I. INTRODUCTION A. Prohibition Against Sex-based Discrimination, Sexual Harassment, and Sexual Misconduct It is the policy of the Savannah College of Art and Design (the “University”) to maintain an environment for students, faculty, and staff that is free of sex-based discrimination and harassment, including sexual misconduct. All members of the University community should be aware that the University does not tolerate sexbased discrimination and harassment, including sexual misconduct, and is prepared to take prompt remedial action to prevent and address such behavior and remedy its effects. This Sex-based Discrimination, Sexual Harassment, and Sexual Misconduct Policy (the “Policy”) addresses the University’s commitment to addressing sex-based discrimination and sexual harassment, including sexual misconduct, within our community, pursuant applicable law. Sexbased discrimination and sexual harassment includes discrimination and harassment on the basis of sex, gender, gender identity, sexual

orientation, marital status, or any other protected characteristics related to sex or gender under federal, state, or local law. Sexual misconduct is a specific form of sexual harassment and is strictly prohibited by the University. Retaliation is prohibited against a person who reports, complains about, or who otherwise participates in good faith in any matter related to this Policy. The University’s process for investigating and responding to reports of violations of this Policy, including the procedures related to the imposition of interim measures or disciplinary measures against an individual alleged to be responsible for a violation, is set out in the Investigation and Disciplinary Procedures for Violations of the Sex-based Discrimination, Sexual Harassment, and Sexual Misconduct Policy (the “Grievance Process”). As described in more detail there, possible sanctions for violations of this Policy include up to: 1. Suspension or expulsion for students; 2. Dismissal or termination of employment for faculty and staff members; 3. Banning from campus and termination of contractual arrangements for third parties.

Any sanction(s) will be structured to end the conduct, prevent its recurrence, and remedy its effects on the individual(s) affected by the conduct and the University community. Not all violations will be deemed equally serious offenses, and the University reserves the right to impose different sanctions depending on the severity of the offense and take non-disciplinary, administrative actions as appropriate.

B. Title IX Coordinator The Title IX Coordinator (“TIX Coordinator”) has been delegated with the authority to oversee the administration of this Policy.

The TIX Coordinator oversees the University’s centralized review, investigation, and resolution of reports of violations of this Policy.

The TIX Coordinator is: 1. Responsible for oversight of the assessment, investigation, and resolution of all reports of sex-based discrimination, sexual harassment, and sexual misconduct involving students, faculty, staff, and third parties (e.g., non-members of the University community, such as vendors, alumni, visitors, volunteers, or local residents); 2. Knowledgeable and trained in this Policy, the Grievance Process, and relevant local, state and federal laws; 3. Available to advise any individual associated with potential sexual misconduct or other violation – including individuals who have experienced misconduct, individuals who are alleged to be responsible for misconduct, and third parties – about the care and support resources, reporting options, and other resources available at the University, both informally and formally, and in the community; 4. Available to provide assistance to any University employee regarding how to respond appropriately to a report of sex-based discrimination, sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, and other conduct prohibited by this Policy; 5. Responsible for monitoring full compliance with all procedural requirements and time frames outlined in this Policy and the Grievance Process;

6. Responsible for training, prevention and education efforts, and periodic reviews of climate and culture related to the conduct prohibited under this Policy.

C. Inquiries Inquiries within the University: Inquiries concerning the application of this Policy should be referred to the University’s Title IX Coordinator: itle IX Coordinator T 912.525.4536 titleixcoordinator@scad.edu Inquiries or complaints to Law Enforcement: The local law enforcement agency at each of the University’s locations is responsible for responding to and investigating potential policy violations that involve an allegation of criminal activity.

Atlanta Police Department Emergencies: 911 226 Peachtree St. SW Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Non-emergencies: 404.577.8477 Hong Kong Police Department Emergencies: 999 Central District: 2 Chung Kong Road, Sheung Wan Hong Kong Lacoste Emergencies: 112 Gendarmerie Nationale Place Rene Cassini Gordes, France 84220 Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police Department Emergencies: 911 201 Habersham St. Savannah, Georgia 31401 Non-emergencies: 912.651.6675 I n Lacoste, students may report or address a sexual misconduct to the Deputy Title IX Coordinator, 33(0)6.07.21.99.93. In Hong Kong, students may report or address a sexual misconduct to the Deputy Title IX Coordinator at 852.2253.8016.

CONFIDENTIAL REPORTS Confidential reports of incidents should be reported to SCAD Savannah counseling and student support services, 912.525.6971, for incidents involving Savannah and eLearning community members; SCAD Hong Kong counseling and student support services 852.2253.8055; or SCAD Atlanta counseling and student support services at 404.253.3204 for incidents involving Atlanta or Lacoste community members. In addition, SCAD encourages accurate and prompt reporting of all crimes by others when the victim of a crime elects not to, or is unable to, make such a report.

D. Relationship of This Policy to External Reporting and Enforcement Options This Policy outlines how the University will respond to alleged sex-based discrimination, sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, and other related misconduct, and is separate and distinct from the criminal and civil legal systems.

The University strongly encourages all individuals who are the subject of potential sex-based discrimination, sexual harassment,

SCAD.EDU / POLICIES

sexual misconduct, or other related misconduct to pursue all remedies available to them, including reporting incidents of potential criminal conduct to law enforcement. The contact information for local law enforcement at each of the University’s locations is set forth in Section I(C) above.

338

If the conduct in question is alleged to be a violation of both University policy and the law, the University will proceed with its normal process, regardless of action or inaction by outside authorities. Decisions made or sanctions imposed through this Policy or other University policies and/or procedures are not subject to change because criminal or civil charges arising from the same conduct are dismissed, reduced, or rejected in favor of or against the Responding Party.

II. SCOPE: PERSONS, PROHIBITED CONDUCT, AND LOCATIONS COVERED A. Persons This Policy applies to all University community members — including faculty, staff, and students — as well as to third parties (including, but not limited to, vendors, alumni/ae, visitors, volunteers, and local residents) who may have contact with members of the University community. Third parties are both protected by and subject to the Policy. A third party may report a violation of the Policy committed by a member of the University community. A third party may also be barred permanently from the University or subject to other restrictions for failing to comply with this Policy.

This Policy defines the following terms in order to clarify the status of the various individuals within the Policy.

1.

Reporting Party: The person who is the subject or target of alleged misconduct.

2.

Responding Party: The person, group, or organization alleged to be responsible for the alleged misconduct.

3.

Institution as Reporting Party: As described in more detail in Section III, there may be circumstances in which the TIX Coordinator determines that, notwithstanding the wishes or availability of the Reporting Party, the University needs to activate the Grievance Process in order to protect the University community. In these cases, the TIX Coordinator will designate an appropriate representative of the University to serve in the role of the “Institution as Reporting Party.”

4.

Third Party Reporter: A person who, even though not the subject of the alleged conduct, reports the alleged conduct to a Responsible Employee at the University. In cases where the alleged misconduct or violation is reported to the University by a Third Party Reporter, the Reporting Party will be notified by the TIX Coordinator that a report has been received, and will activate the intake and assessment process with the Reporting Party (as described further in Section VI).

5.

Responsible Employee: A “Responsible Employee” is a University employee that is generally required to take immediate and appropriate responsive action when s/he knows, or, in the exercise of reasonable care, should have known about sex-based discrimination or sexual harassment that creates a hostile environment. Responsible Employees must notify the TIX Coordinator immediately upon becoming aware of any misconduct or potential violations of this Policy.

A Responsible Employee includes any employee who: a. Has the authority to take action to redress the sex-based discrimination or sexual harassment; or b. Has the duty to report incidents of potential sex-based discrimination or sexual harassment or any other misconduct to appropriate University officials; or c. A student or employee could reasonably believe has the authority or responsibility to take action.

Using this lens, employees with supervisory and leadership responsibilities on campus are considered Responsible Employees. These employees include faculty, coaches, administrators, resident advisors, and others with a responsibility for the welfare of our students, faculty, staff, and visitors.

Within this context of the University’s general duty to respond, the University is committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of all individuals involved in a report of sex-based discrimination and sexual harassment, including sexual misconduct. This means that information shared or reported to a Responsible Employee about potential violation of this Policy, will only be shared with a limited circle of University representatives, including the TIX Coordinator.

The use of this information is limited to those University employees or other representatives who “need to know” in order to assist in the review, investigation, or resolution of the report. In addition, and within the context of any appropriate investigation and related procedures under the Grievance Process, information may also need to be shared with other parties, including the Responding Party and any witnesses.

B. Prohibited Conduct This Policy addresses sex-based discrimination and sexual harassment that are prohibited within the University community, including: 1. Sex-based discrimination; 2. Sexual harassment; 3. Sexual misconduct,* including:

a.

Non-consensual sexual intercourse

b.

Non-consensual sexual contact

c.

Sexual exploitation

d.

Stalking

e.

Intimate partner violence

4. Any form of retaliation or intimidation related to the foregoing prohibited conduct. *Sexual misconduct may occur irrespective of an individual’s sex, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital status, or any other protected characteristics related to sex or gender under federal, state, or local law.

The University prohibits all forms of sex-based discrimination, sexual harassment, sexual or gender-based misconduct, and any form of retaliation or intimidation related to the foregoing. The University will treat attempts to commit any prohibited conduct as if those attempts had been completed.

a. Sex-based Discrimination For the purposes of this Policy, sex-based discrimination refers to the disparate treatment of a person or group because of that person’s or group’s sex (which includes harassment based on pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions), gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital status, or any other protected characteristics related to sex or gender under federal, state, or local law. b. Sexual Harassment For the purposes of this Policy, sexual harassment is unwelcome conduct that creates an intimidating, offensive, or hostile working or learning environment, or that interferes with work or academic performance that is based on a person’s sex, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital status, or any other protected characteristics related to sex or gender under federal, state, or local law. Sexual harassment includes, without limitation, unwelcome sexual advances, request for sexual favors, or other unwelcome verbal, visual, or physical conduct of a sexual nature. Sexual harassment can be committed by employers, coworkers, students, and third parties.

Harassing conduct can take many forms and includes, but is not limited to, slurs, jokes, statements, gestures, pictures, or cartoons regarding an individual’s sex, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital status, or any other protected characteristics related to sex or gender under federal, state, or local law.

c. Sexual Misconduct – Forms Sexual (including gender-based) misconduct encompasses a broad range of behavior, including sexual violence, which refers to physical sexual acts perpetrated without a person’s consent (consent is further defined below). Sexual misconduct includes the following forms of misconduct under this Policy. i. Non-consensual Sexual Intercourse Non-consensual sexual intercourse is having or attempting to have any sexual intercourse, however slight, with any object (e.g. penis, object, finger, hand), by a person upon a person, that is without consent or by force. Sexual intercourse includes vaginal or anal penetration (by penis, object, tongue, or finger) and oral copulation (mouth to genital contact or genital to mouth contact) no matter how slight the penetration or contact. ii. Non-consensual Sexual Contact Non-consensual sexual contact is any intentional sexual touching, however slight, with any object, by a person upon a person, when such touching is without his or her consent and/or by force.

Sexual contact includes intentional contact with the intimate parts of another, causing another to touch one’s intimate parts, or disrobing or exposure of another without permission. Intimate parts may include the breasts, genitals, buttocks, groin, mouth, or any other part of the body that is touched in a sexual manner.

Such conduct constitutes sexual harassment when: i. Submission to or rejection of such conduct is made, either explicitly or implicitly, a term or condition of an individual’s employment, evaluation of academic work, or participation in any aspect of a University program or activity; or ii. Submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for decisions affecting the individual; or iii. Such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual’s work or academic performance (i.e. it is sufficiently serious or persistent as to create an intimidating, hostile, humiliating, demeaning, or sexually offensive working, academic, residential, or social environment under both a subjective and objective standard).

A single isolated incident of sexual harassment may create a hostile environment if the incident is sufficiently severe. The more severe the conduct, the less need there is to show a repetitive series of incidents to create a hostile environment, particularly if the harassment is physical.

Sexual harassment also includes gender-based harassment, which may include acts of verbal, nonverbal, or physical aggression, intimidation, or hostility based on sex or sex stereotyping, even if those acts do not involve conduct of a sexual nature.

The conduct alleged to constitute sexual harassment shall be evaluated from the perspective of a reasonable person similarly situated to the complaining party and in consideration of the context of the behavior.

Statements or conduct legitimately and reasonably related to the University’s mission of education do not constitute sexual harassment, and unlawful sexual harassment must be distinguished from behavior that, even though unpleasant or disconcerting, is reasonable and appropriate in view of the relevant academic circumstances.

iii. Sexual Exploitation Sexual exploitation occurs when an individual takes non-consensual or abusive sexual advantage of another for one’s own advantage or benefit, or to the benefit or advantage of anyone other than the one being exploited, and that behavior does not otherwise constitute one of the other sexual misconduct offenses.

Examples of sexual exploitation include, but are not limited to: A. surreptitiously observing another individual’s nudity or sexual activity or allowing another to observe consensual sexual activity without the knowledge and consent of all parties involved; B. sexually based stalking and/or bullying; C. non-consensual digital, video, or audio recording of nudity or sexual activity; D. non-consensual sharing or streaming of images, photography, video, or audio recording of sexual activity or nudity, or distribution of such without the knowledge and consent of all parties involved; E. exposing one’s genitals or inducing another to expose their own genitals in non-consensual circumstances; F. knowingly exposing another individual to a sexually transmitted disease, virus, or infection without the other party’s knowledge; and G. inducing incapacitation for the purpose of making another person vulnerable to non-consensual sexual activity. iv. Stalking talking means a course of conduct (two or more acts) in which the S stalker was engaged either directly or indirectly through a third party.

The behavior is any action, method, device, or means to follow, monitor, observe, surveil, threaten, or communicate about a person.

The stalking behavior is directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to fear for his or her safety or the safety of others, or suffer substantial emotional distress.

SCAD.EDU / POLICIES

v. Intimate Partner Violence Intimate partner violence refers to any act of violence or threatened act of violence, sexual or otherwise, made by a person against another person with whom s/he is or has been involved in a sexual, dating, domestic, or other intimate relationship.

340

Intimate partner violence is often referred to as dating violence, domestic violence, or relationship violence. Intimate partner violence can encompass a broad range of behavior, including, but not limited to, physical violence, sexual violence, emotional violence, and economic abuse. It may involve one act or an ongoing pattern of behavior.

Intimate partner violence may take the form of threats, assault, property damage, violence, or threats of violence to one’s self, one’s sexual or romantic partner, or to the family members or friends of the sexual or romantic partner. Intimate partner violence affects individuals of all genders, gender identities, gender expressions, and sexual orientation and does not discriminate by racial, social, or economic background.

The University does not tolerate intimate partner violence of any form.

The University recognizes that sexual harassment, non-consensual sexual intercourse, non-consensual sexual contact, sexual exploitation, stalking, and retaliation all may be forms of intimate partner violence when committed by a person who is or has been involved in a sexual, dating, or other social relationship of a romantic or intimate nature with the Reporting Party. d. Consent Consent is required for any sexual activity to occur between two or more individuals. Effective consent consists of an affirmative, voluntary, conscious decision by each participant to engage in mutually agreedupon (and the conditions of) sexual activity. In order to give effective consent, one must be of legal age and have the capacity to give consent. The age of consent for this Policy is 16 years, except where the parties are within three years of age of one another, which is the legal age of consent in the State of Georgia.

The following are essential elements of consent: i. Informed and reciprocal: All parties must demonstrate a clear and mutual understanding of the nature and scope of the act to which they are consenting and a willingness to do the same thing, at the same time, in the same way. ii. Freely and actively given: Consent cannot be obtained through the use of force, coercion, threats, intimidation, pressure, or by taking advantage of the incapacitation of another individual. iii. Mutually understandable: Communication regarding consent consists of mutually understandable words or actions that indicate an unambiguous willingness to engage in (and the conditions of) sexual activity. In the absence of clear communication or outward demonstration, there is no consent. Consent may not be inferred from silence, passivity, lack of resistance, or lack of active response.

An individual who does not physically resist or verbally refuse sexual activity is not necessarily giving consent. Relying solely upon non-verbal communication can lead to a false conclusion as to whether consent was sought or given. iv. Not indefinite: Consent may be withdrawn by any party at any time. Recognizing the dynamic nature of sexual activity, individuals choosing to engage in sexual activity must evaluate consent in an

ongoing manner and communicate clearly throughout all stages of sexual activity. Withdrawal of consent can be an expressed “no” or can be based on an outward demonstration that conveys that an individual is hesitant, confused, uncertain, or is no longer a mutual participant. Once consent is withdrawn, the sexual activity must cease immediately and all parties must obtain mutually expressed or clearly stated consent before continuing any further sexual activity. v. Not unlimited: Consent to one form of sexual contact does not constitute consent to all forms of sexual contact, nor does consent to sexual activity with one person constitute consent to activity with any other person. Each participant in a sexual encounter must consent to each form of sexual contact with each participant.

Even in the context of a current or previous intimate relationship, each party must consent to each instance of sexual contact each time. The mere fact that there has been prior intimacy or sexual activity does not, by itself, imply consent to future acts. e. Force Consent is not valid if it is obtained through the use or threat of force.

Force is the use or threat of physical violence or intimidation to overcome an individual’s freedom of will to choose whether or not to participate in (and the conditions of) any sexual activity. For the use of force to be demonstrated, there is no requirement that a Reporting Party resist the sexual advance or request. However, resistance by the Reporting Party will be viewed as a clear demonstration of non-consent. f. Coercion onsent obtained through coercion is not valid consent. Coercion is C the improper use of pressure to compel another individual to initiate or continue sexual activity against that person’s will. Coercion can include a wide range of behaviors, including intimidation, manipulation, threats, and blackmail. A person’s words or conduct are sufficient to constitute coercion if they wrongfully impair another individual’s freedom of will and ability to choose whether or not to engage in sexual activity. Examples of coercion include threatening to “out” someone based on sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression and threatening to harm oneself if the other party does not engage in the sexual activity. When someone indicates, verbally or physically, that they do not want to engage in a particular sexual activity, that they want to stop a particular activity, or that they do not want to go past a certain point of sexual interaction, continued activity or pressure to continue beyond that point is coercive. g. Incapacitation Incapacitation is a state where an individual cannot make an informed and rational decision to engage in sexual activity because the person lacks conscious knowledge of the nature of the act (i.e., to understand the who, what, when, where, why or how of the sexual interaction) or is physically helpless. An individual is incapacitated, and therefore unable to give consent, if they are asleep, unconscious, or otherwise unaware that sexual activity is occurring.

Sexual activity with someone who one should have known to be — or based on the circumstances should reasonably have known to be — mentally or physically incapacitated (e.g., by alcohol or other drug use, unconsciousness, sleep, or blacked out), constitutes a violation of this Policy.

Incapacitation may result from the use of alcohol or drugs. However, consumption of alcohol or other drugs alone is insufficient to establish incapacitation. In general, sexual contact while under the influence of alcohol or other drugs poses a risk to all parties.

Alcohol and drugs impair a person’s decision-making capacity, awareness of consequences, and ability to make informed judgments. It is especially important, therefore, that anyone engaging in sexual activity be aware of the other person’s level of intoxication. If there is any doubt as to the level or extent of the other individual’s intoxication or impairment, the prudent course of action is to forgo or cease any sexual contact or activity.

Being intoxicated or impaired by drugs or alcohol is never an excuse for sexual harassment, sexual violence, stalking, or intimate partner violence and does not diminish one’s responsibility to obtain consent.

The impact of alcohol and drugs varies from person to person, and evaluating incapacitation requires an assessment of how the consumption of alcohol or drugs impact an individual’s: 1. decision-making ability; 2. awareness of consequences; 3. ability to make informed judgments; or 4. capacity to appreciate the nature and the quality of the act.

Evaluating incapacitation also requires an assessment of whether a Responding Party knew, or should have known, that the Reporting Party was incapacitated.

C. Locations Covered This Policy applies to conduct occurring on University property or at off campus University-sponsored or -sanctioned programs. This Policy may also apply to conduct that occurs off campus but not at a University-sponsored program or activity if both parties are members of the University community and if the conduct could have a substantial adverse effect on or poses a threat to members of the University community. Judgments about these matters will depend on the facts of an individual case.

III. CONFIDENTIALITY he University strongly encourages individuals who have experienced a T potential violation of this Policy to report the incident to the University so that the University can assist these individuals in obtaining access to the support and resources they may need, and so that the University can respond appropriately. The University also strongly encourages all individuals who are the subject of potential misconduct to pursue all internal and external remedies available to them, including reporting incidents of potential criminal conduct to external law enforcement.

At the same time, the University recognizes that individuals often have important concerns about protecting their privacy and maintaining confidentiality, and that it can be difficult for an individual to decide whether and how to report an incident. Sexual misconduct reports involving students also present unique considerations related to confidentiality, including the need to support individuals who are not prepared to make a report either to the University or to law enforcement, or who may be unsure what happened, but are still seeking information and support. Finally, it is also clear that individuals alleged to be responsible for sex-based discrimination, sexual harassment, or sexual misconduct have important needs with respect to their own care and support. These individuals also have distinct concerns about confidentiality.

It is within this context that the University is committed to supporting all individuals affected by sex-based discrimination, sexual harassment, or sexual misconduct, whether as a Reporting Party, a Responding

Party, or a third party, by providing or assisting with access to care and support resources, and by providing clear information with respect to the level of confidentiality provided by each respective care and support resource. The University is also committed to providing interim remedies or implementing interim measures that are appropriate to all parties.

A. Types of Confidentiality s used in this Policy, “confidentiality” generally refers to the level A of protection or control that an individual sharing information (the “Reporting Party”) has with respect to whether the individual or organization receiving the information (the “Receiving Party”) is required or permitted to disclose such reported information to the University or law enforcement without the express permission of the Reporting Party as follows: 1. Strict Confidentiality “Strict Confidentiality” refers to Receiving Parties that are required by law to keep shared information confidential unless there is an imminent threat of harm to self or others or other extreme circumstance, such as abuse of a person under the age of 18. Strictly Confidential resources include: crisis counselors and hotlines, licensed mental health counselors, and chaplains and other ordained clergy.

It is important to emphasize that these Strict Confidentiality protections apply whether or not the Receiving Party is a representative or employee of the University. Thus, licensed counselors at the Counseling and Student Support Services office provide the same level of Strict Confidentiality protections as do licensed counselors that are unaffiliated with the University.

As a result, anyone who speaks to a professional counselor within the University should understand that these communications do not represent a report to the University or to a Responsible Employee within this Policy. In addition, if an individual wants to maintain Strict Confidentiality from the University, the individual should recognize that the University will be unable to conduct an investigation into the particular incident or pursue disciplinary action against the Responding Party, and the University will also be limited in its ability to provide a complete range of interim remedies and/or interim measures.

Finally, an individual who at first requests Strict Confidentiality from a licensed counselor within the University may later decide to request that the University activate the Grievance Process or report the incident to law enforcement, and thus have the incident fully investigated.

These counselors can provide assistance if the individual wishes to make such a request.

A listing of contact information for internal and external resources that provide Strict Confidentiality protections is set forth in Section IV. 2. Medical Assistance Confidentiality In general, the disclosure of private information to medical providers and information contained in medical records is protected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”). In the context of sexual violence, however, medical providers in Georgia are required to notify law enforcement if a patient tells medical personnel that they have experienced sexual violence.

3. Confidentiality and Reports to the University As described in Section II, above, reports to “Responsible Employees” within the University generally impose a duty upon the University to initiate an immediate and appropriate response to such reports or to other information about potential sex-based discrimination or sexual harassment, including sexual misconduct.

SCAD.EDU / POLICIES

342

As is also described above in Section II, within the context of the University’s general duty to respond, the University is committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of all individuals involved in a report of sex-based discrimination and sexual harassment, including sexual misconduct. This means that information shared or reported to a Responsible Employee about a potential violation of this Policy, will only be shared with a limited circle of University representatives, including the TIX Coordinator, who “need to know” in order to assist in the review, investigation, or resolution of the report. In addition, and within the context of any appropriate investigation and related procedures under the Grievance Process, information may also need to be shared with other parties in order to enable the University to effectively investigate and resolve the report, including, without limitation, the Responding Party and any witnesses.

B. Requests for Confidentiality or Not to Proceed: Sexual Misconduct Reports Involving Students Sexual misconduct cases involving students present unique considerations related to privacy and confidentiality. As a result, if a Reporting Party reporting to a Responsible Employee wishes to maintain confidentiality or requests that no investigation into a particular incident be conducted or disciplinary action taken, the University’s general policy is to respect such request unless certain overriding factors are present related to the University’s obligation to provide a safe, non-discriminatory environment for all members of the community, including the Reporting Party.

Based on the foregoing, information or reports presented to a Responsible Employee will be reported to the TIX Coordinator, who will follow-up with the Reporting Party to complete the intake and assessment process described in Section VI. In sexual misconduct cases involving students, the TIX Coordinator will review the Reporting Party’s expressed preferences with respect to maintaining confidentiality from the Responding Party and with respect to whether the Reporting Party wants the University to proceed with the Grievance Process.

1. When the University Cannot Honor a Student Reporting Party’s Confidentiality Request There are circumstances in which the University may not be able to honor a student Reporting Party’s request that the University maintain confidentiality or that it not investigate the reported information, in order to provide a safe, non-discriminatory environment for all members of the University community.

The TIX Coordinator is responsible for evaluating a request for confidentiality and requests that no investigation or discipline be pursued. To evaluate such requests, the TIX Coordinator will consider a range of factors, including, without limitation, the following: a. The increased risk that the Responding Party may commit additional acts of sexual or other violence, such as: i. Whether there have been other sexual violence complaints about the same individual; ii. Whether the individual has a history of arrests or records from a prior institution indicating a history of violence; iii. Whether the individual threatened further sexual violence or other violence against the student Reporting Party or others; b. Whether the sexual misconduct was committed by multiple alleged perpetrators; c. Whether the sexual misconduct was perpetrated with a weapon;

d. Whether the student Reporting Party is a minor; e. Whether the University possesses other means to obtain relevant evidence of the sexual misconduct (e.g., security cameras or personnel, physical evidence); f. Whether the report reveals a pattern of perpetration (e.g., via illicit use of drugs or alcohol) at a given location or by a particular group.

The presence of one or more of these factors could lead the University to activate the Grievance Process. If, for example, the University has credible information that the Responding Party has committed one or more prior sexual misconduct violations, the balance of factors would compel the University to investigate the report and, if appropriate, pursue disciplinary action. If none of these factors is present, the University will normally honor a student Reporting Party’s request for confidentiality or request that no investigation into a reported incident be conducted.

If the TIX Coordinator determines that the University cannot maintain a student Reporting Party’s confidentiality, the TIX Coordinator will inform the student Reporting Party prior to starting the Grievance Process and will explain that the student Reporting Party is not required to participate in the Grievance Process. If the student Reporting Party does not want to participate, the TIX Coordinator will appoint a representative from the University to serve in the role of “Institution as Reporting Party”.

The TIX Coordinator will also review with the student Reporting Party the confidentiality protections associated with the Grievance Process.

The TIX Coordinator will also continue to monitor the student Reporting Party’s well-being, and, consistent with the framework set forth above, will take ongoing steps as appropriate to protect the student Reporting Party’s safety, including from retaliation or intimidation.

2. When the University Can Honor a Student Reporting Party’s Confidentiality Request The University will continue to monitor and adapt as appropriate the other aspects of the Reporting Party’s safety, assistance, and support response plan as described in Section VI. 3. Limited Ability to Respond if Confidentiality Request Is Honored If the University does honor a student Reporting Party’s request for confidentiality, the University’s ability to meaningfully investigate the incident and pursue interim remedies and disciplinary action against the Responding Party may be limited.

4. Other Interim Remedies Because the University is under a continuing obligation to address the issue of sexual misconduct campus-wide, reports of sexual violence (including non-identifying reports) will also prompt the TIX Coordinator to consider broader remedial action – such as increased monitoring, supervision, or security at locations where the reported sexual misconduct occurred; increasing education and prevention efforts, including to targeted population groups; conducting climate assessments/ victimization surveys; or revisiting its policies and practices.

IV. CARE AND SUPPORT RESOURCES If you need emergency police or medical assistance, dial 911.

A. Resources that Provide Strict Confidentiality As described in Section III, care and support resources that provide “Strict Confidentiality” are Receiving Parties who by the nature of their work are required by law to keep information shared with them confidential, and who cannot share information revealed to them to another person without the express permission of Reporting Party, unless there is an imminent threat of harm to the Reporting Party or others.

1. Crisis Counseling/Hotline Resources There are many care and support resources available to individuals in the local community that provide Strict Confidentiality. All individuals are encouraged to use the resources that are best suited to their needs, whether on or off campus.

United States Sexual Misconduct Resources RAINN National Sexual Assault Crisis Hotline: 800-656-HOPE (4673) rainn.org/get-help/national-sexual-assault-hotline Intimate Partner Violence Resources National Domestic Violence Hotline 800-799-SAFE (7233) 800-787-3224 (TTY) thehotline.org Love Is Respect National Dating Abuse Hotline 866-331-9474 loveisrespect.org 2. Licensed Counselors at the University The following on-campus counseling resources provide Strict Confidentiality protections and are available to provide care and support. These counselors can also provide information about making a formal report with the University or law enforcement.

Counseling and Student Support Services (available for students at no cost) Atlanta and Lacoste 1600 Peachtree St. NW Atlanta, Georgia 30309 404.253.3282 Savannah and Hong Kong Chris Corbett 115 E. York St. Savannah, Georgia 31401 912.525.6971 B. Other University Resources The University employees or offices listed below can provide or assist with a broad range of information, care, and support needs, including: assisting with access to medical assistance or reporting to law enforcement, accessing crisis counseling or other counseling resources, assisting with or coordinating interim measures and other interim remedies, and providing information about the University’s Grievance Process.

As described in Section III, these employees or offices are considered “Responsible Employees.” This means that they will maintain the confidentiality of an individual’s information within the limited circle of those employees or representatives who are involved in the University’s assessment, review, and resolution of potential sex-based discrimination and sexual harassment, including sexual misconduct, at the University.

Information shared with a Responsible Employee will be reported to the University’s TIX Coordinator, who will follow up with the individual to complete the intake and assessment process described in Section VI. Additionally, in sexual misconduct cases involving a student Reporting Party, and as described in more detail in Section III, the TIX Coordinator will review the Reporting Party’s expressed preferences, if any, with respect to maintaining confidentiality from the Responding Party,

and whether the Reporting Party wants the University to proceed with the Grievance Process. Section III also describes the process by which the TIX Coordinator evaluates whether the University can accommodate the confidentiality request and whether the University must activate the Grievance Process to protect the Reporting Party or the University community.

REPORTING A VIOLATION The University strongly encourages all individuals who are the subject of potential misconduct to pursue all interim remedies available to them, including reporting incidents of potential criminal conduct to external law enforcement and incidents of civil rights violations to the appropriate external agencies.

The University also strongly encourages individuals who have experienced potential sex-based discrimination, sexual harassment, or sexual misconduct to report the incident to the University so that the University can assist these individuals in obtaining access to the support and resources they may need, and so the University can respond appropriately.

External and internal reporting options are not mutually exclusive and may be pursued concurrently.

It is important that individuals who are subjected to sexual violence seek medical attention even if they do not intend to report the incident to local law enforcement. Regardless of whether a report is filed with local law enforcement, individuals should preserve all evidence that

SCAD.EDU / POLICIES

could be relevant to any criminal charges that may be brought or that might be needed to obtain a protective order. A special exam should be conducted as soon as possible following a sexual misconduct incident to ensure your physical well-being and to collect evidence that may be useful in criminal proceedings. Before obtaining such an examination, individuals should avoid showering, washing, changing clothes, combing hair, drinking, eating or altering their physical appearance. Even if you decide to forego such an examination, it is still important to get medical attention so that any issues relating to possible injury or disease from the incident may be addressed.

A. Reports to Law Enforcement The University always encourages individuals who have experienced sexual misconduct or other potential crimes to contact law enforcement.

Atlanta Police Department Emergencies: 911 226 Peachtree St. SW Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Non-emergencies: 404.577.8477 Hong Kong Police Department Emergencies: 999 Central District: 2 Chung Kong Road Sheung Wan, Hong Kong Lacoste Emergencies: 112 Gendarmerie Nationale Place Rene Cassini Gordes, France 84220 Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police Department Emergencies: 911 201 Habersham St. Savannah, Georgia 31401 Non-emergencies: 912.651.6675 Although the University will normally follow an individual’s wishes with respect to contacting law enforcement, there are certain instances in which the University may need to report conduct to law enforcement authorities even when an individual has decided not to do so. Such circumstances include when there is clear and imminent danger or risk to the individual or the University community, when a weapon was involved with the incident, or when the alleged conduct involves sexual misconduct and the individual is a minor (under the age of 18).

In these circumstances, the University’s decision to report an incident to law enforcement will be shared with the individual.

B. Reports to the University All members of the University community, even those who are not obligated to do so by this Policy, are strongly encouraged to report information regarding any potential incident of sex-based discrimination, sexual harassment, or sexual misconduct to the TIX Coordinator or other representative designated below. The University cannot take appropriate action unless an incident is reported to the University.

Section III provides a detailed discussion with respect to the confidentiality of reports to the University, including the University’s process for weighing a request for confidentiality by a student Reporting Party in a sexual misconduct case. Section VI provides a detailed description of the “intake and assessment process” that will be conducted by the TIX Coordinator upon receipt of a report of potential sex-based discrimination, sexual harassment, or sexual misconduct under this Policy.

1. Report Submission A report of a potential violation of this Policy is encouraged to be made in writing, signed, dated and submitted to any one of the individuals listed below, regardless of whether the Reporting Party is a student, faculty member, staff member, or third party. Under no circumstances is an individual required to report sex-based discrimination, sexual harassment, or sexual misconduct to an individual who is the alleged perpetrator.

The report should state the name of the alleged perpetrator (if known) and describe with reasonable specificity the incident(s) that constituted a violation of this Policy, including the date, time, and location of such incident(s). The report must be in the Reporting Party’s own words, and may not be authored by others, including family members, advisors, or attorneys. Attached to the report should be a list of any sources of information (e.g., witnesses to the event in question, correspondence, records, etc.) that the Reporting Party believes may be relevant to the investigation. However, a report should not be delayed if such sources of information are unknown or unavailable.

Title IX Coordinator 912.525.4536 titleixcoordinator@scad.edu SCAD Department of University Safety Atlanta 1600 Peachtree St. NW Atlanta, Georgia 30309 404.253.3333 Hong Kong 292 Tai Po Road Sham Shui Po, Hong Kong 404.253.3333 Lacoste Rue du Four Lacoste, France 84480 404.253.3333 Savannah and eLearning 350 Bull St. Savannah, Georgia 31401 404.253.3333 In Lacoste, students may report or address a sexual misconduct to the Deputy Title IX Coordinator, 33(0)6.07.21.99.93. In Hong Kong, students may report or address a sexual misconduct to the Deputy Title IX Coordinator at 852.2253.8016.

CONFIDENTIAL REPORTS Confidential reports of incidents should be reported to SCAD Savannah counseling and student support services, 912.525.6971, for incidents involving Savannah and eLearning community members; SCAD Hong Kong counseling and student support services 852.2253.8055; or SCAD Atlanta counseling and student support services at 404.253.3204 for incidents involving Atlanta or Lacoste community members. In addition, SCAD encourages accurate and prompt reporting of all crimes by others when the victim of a crime elects not to, or is unable to, make such a report.

2. Coordination With Law Enforcement he University encourages the Reporting Party to pursue criminal T action for violations under this Policy, such as non-consensual sexual intercourse, that may also be crimes under federal, state, or local law.

The University will assist a Reporting Party in making a criminal report and cooperate with law enforcement agencies if a Reporting Party decides to pursue the criminal process to the extent permitted by law.

The University’s Grievance Process and the legal system work independently from one another, and the University will proceed with its process, regardless of action or inaction by outside authorities. If a police investigation is initiated, the University may pause the Grievance Process briefly at the request of the police to facilitate their initial evidence gathering. Decisions made or sanctions imposed through the Grievance Process are not subject to change because criminal or civil charges arising from the same conduct are dismissed, reduced, or rejected in favor of or against the Responding Party.

3. Time Limits for Reporting To promote timely and effective review, the University strongly encourages individuals who have experienced or who have knowledge of a possible violation of this Policy to make reports as soon as possible following an incident. A delay in reporting may impact the University’s ability to gather relevant and reliable information. The University does not, however, limit the time frame for reporting alleged violations under this Policy. To the extent possible and consistent with the provisions of this Policy, the University will take prompt and appropriate action in response to all reports in order to end the conduct, prevent its recurrence, and address its effects regardless of when the alleged conduct occurred.

If the Responding Party is not a member of the University community, or is no longer a member of the University community, the University will still seek to meet its commitment and obligation to end any sexbased discrimination or sexual harassment, including sexual misconduct, prevent its recurrence, and address its effects. However, the ability of the University to take disciplinary or other remedial action against the Responding Party will be limited. If the Responding Party is a staff member, faculty member, or student and leaves the University with a pending complaint, the Responding Party will not be permitted to return to the University until the complaint is resolved pursuant to the Grievance Process.

4. Amnesty for Alcohol or Other Drug Use The University encourages the reporting of prohibited conduct under this Policy. It is in the best interest of the University community that as many Reporting Parties as possible choose to report to the University, and that witnesses come forward to share what they know. To encourage reporting, an individual who reports sex-based discrimination, sexual harassment or sexual misconduct, either as a Reporting Party or a witness, will not be subject to disciplinary action by the University for his/her own personal consumption of alcohol or drugs at or near the time of the incident, provided that any such violations did not and do not place the health or safety of any other person at risk. Educational options will be explored, but no conduct proceedings or record will result. However, records regarding the provision of amnesty will be maintained.

5. Anonymous Reporting Any individual may make an anonymous report concerning any alleged violation of this Policy. An individual may report the incident without disclosing his or her name, identifying the Responding Party, or requesting any action. Depending on the extent of information available about the incident or the individuals involved, however, the University’s ability to respond to an anonymous report may be limited.

The TIX Coordinator will receive the anonymous report and will determine any appropriate steps, including individual or community interim remedies as appropriate, and, in consultation with the Director

of Campus Safety and Security, comply with all Clery Act obligations.

6. Retaliation – Prohibited It is a violation of University policy to retaliate, intimidate, or seek retribution in any way against an individual because he or she raised allegations of sex-based discrimination, sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, or other conduct prohibited by this Policy, or because an individual otherwise cooperated or participated in the administration of this Policy. The University recognizes that retaliation can take many forms, may be committed by or against an individual or a group, and that a Reporting Party, Responding Party, or third party may commit or be the subject of retaliation.

The University will take prompt action to investigate any report of retaliation and will pursue disciplinary action as appropriate. An individual reporting potential misconduct under this Policy is entitled to protection from any form of retaliation following a report that is made in good faith, even if the report is later not proven.

7. False Reporting – Prohibited It is a violation of this Policy to file a knowingly false or malicious complaint of sex-based discrimination, sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, or other conduct prohibited under this Policy. A report or complaint alleging false reporting by another individual may be pursued pursuant to the process outlined in this Policy for making a formal report or complaint of conduct prohibited under this Policy. A complaint filed in good faith under this provision will not be considered as retaliation.

8. Public Awareness Events Public awareness events in which individuals within the University community disclose incidents of sexual misconduct are not considered notice to the University of sexual misconduct for purposes of triggering its obligation to investigate any particular incident(s). Such events may, however, inform the need for campus-wide education and prevention efforts, and the University will provide information about an individual’s rights under this Policy at these events.

VI. THE UNIVERSITY’S RESPONSE PROCESS A. Definitions and General Provisions The University is committed to providing a prompt, fair, and equitable response to all reports of prohibited conduct under this Policy. When a complaint or report is received, the University will take prompt, remedial actions, including performing an adequate investigation and issuing discipline (where warranted), designed to stop and prevent the recurrence of the conduct.

Throughout the response process, the University is committed to treating all parties involved in the process – including Reporting Party, Responding Party, and any witnesses – with dignity and respect. In every report under this Policy, the University will make an immediate assessment of any risk of harm to the Reporting Party or to the broader University community and will take steps necessary to address those risks. These steps will include any interim remedies and/or interim measures to provide for the safety of the Reporting Party and the University community.

1. Definitions a. “Interim Remedies”: As used in this Policy, the term “Interim Remedies” generally refers to services that are beyond those normally provided by the University, or exceptions to academic or other policies of the University that the TIX Coordinator determines are reasonable and appropriate to support the Reporting Party, Responding Party, or any other individual and may be independent of the results or outcomes of the Grievance Process. Such Interim

SCAD.EDU / POLICIES

Remedies include, for example, providing alternate housing to the requesting party, class schedule adjustments, or other support as described in more detail below.

346

b. “Interim Measures”: As used in this Policy and in the Grievance Process, the term “Interim Measures” generally refers to remedies or sanctions that may have a material impact on the Responding Party’s rights and privileges at the University, but which the TIX Coordinator determines are reasonable and appropriate to provide for the safety of the Reporting Party or the University community.

Such measures include, for example, issuing a “no contact” letter, imposing a non-disciplinary, interim suspension on a student, or imposing a non-disciplinary leave of absence on a faculty or staff member. A complete discussion of Interim Measures is included in the Grievance Process. c. “Non-Disciplinary, Administrative Measures”: As used in this Policy, the term “Non-Disciplinary Administrative Measures” refers to those measures that the TIX Coordinator determines are reasonable and appropriate in response to a report irrespective of the formal outcome of the Grievance Process. Such measures may include, for example, educational initiatives or trainings, or other forms of remedial, community-based responses.

2.

Neutrality of TIX Coordinator The TIX Coordinator’s fundamental responsibility is to oversee the University’s compliance with federal and state sex-based discrimination and harassment-related laws, which includes the oversight of a fair, neutral, and equitable process for responding to reports of sex-based discrimination, sexual harassment, and sexual misconduct. As a result, although the TIX Coordinator is an important resource for all parties to a report or complaint, the TIX Coordinator is prohibited from providing direct advice and support to either the Reporting Party or the Responding Party.

3. Support Persons The Reporting Party and Responding Party may choose to be assisted and supported by a support person of her/his choice (“Support Person”) in any meeting or other aspect of procedures outlined in this Policy in which the relevant party is also participating. The Support Person may be present in an advisory or emotional support capacity only, and shall not directly participate or intervene in meetings, the investigation, or other matters related to the University’s response under this Policy.

Subject to the exceptions set forth below, the Support Person must be a member of the University community and must not have involvement in the underlying case. To serve as a Support Person, the individual will be required to meet with the TIX Coordinator prior to participating in any meetings associated with the complaint (this meeting can occur at the beginning of the TIX Coordinator’s initial intake and assessment meeting with the Reporting Party or the Responding Party).

Legal Counsel Because this Policy and the Grievance Process are administrative in nature, legal counsel is generally not permitted to participate under this Policy or the Grievance Process, and may not serve as a Support Person.

However, in circumstances in which the conduct in question is alleged to violate the sexual misconduct violations set forth in Sections II(B) (4)(c), both the Reporting Party and the Responding Party have the option to retain outside legal counsel at their own expense to serve in the role of a Support Person as outlined above.

If a Support Person fails to comply with the procedures set forth in the Grievance Process, the University reserves the right to exclude such Support Person from further participation in the Grievance Process.

B. Providing for the Safety of the Reporting Party and the University Community The University’s first priority when receiving a report of sex-based discrimination, sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, or other conduct prohibited under this Policy is to provide for the safety of the Reporting Party and the University community.

As a result, whenever the University receives a report of potential misconduct under this Policy that indicates an immediate threat to the Reporting Party or other members of the University community, the University will seek to notify appropriate first responders (medical or law enforcement) as soon as reasonably possible. The University will also implement any Interim Measures as it determines are necessary and appropriate to provide for the safety of the Reporting Party or the University community. A complete discussion of Interim Measures is set forth in the Grievance Process. mergency Notifications or Timely Warnings to the University Community E If a report of misconduct indicates a potentially serious or continuing threat to the University community, the University may issue a campuswide emergency notification or timely warning notification (which can take the form of an email to campus, for example) to protect the health or safety of the University community. The emergency notification or timely warning notification will not include any identifying information about the Reporting Party.

Consistent with legal requirements under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (“FERPA”), at no time will the University release the name of a student Reporting Party to the general public without the express consent of the Reporting Party. The release of the names of other Reporting Parties or Responding Parties to the general public will similarly be guided by FERPA, the Clery Act, and relevant federal, state and local laws.

Mandatory Reporting as Required by Law If the circumstances in a report also indicate a potential crime or misconduct that is subject to mandatory reporting requirements by law (e.g., child abuse), the University will seek to comply with such mandatory reporting obligations as soon as it reasonably can after receiving notice of the alleged incident.

C. Intake and Assessment With Reporting Party Upon receipt of a report or complaint of potential misconduct under this Policy, the TIX Coordinator (or designee) will request a confidential intake and assessment meeting with the Reporting Party to review the alleged misconduct. This meeting is not intended to serve as an exhaustive investigation interview, but rather to provide the TIX Coordinator (or designee) with sufficient contextual information to determine appropriate next steps to support the Reporting Party and to guide the University’s response. This intake meeting should also not be considered to be a discrete event, but rather as the beginning of an interactive process between the University and the Reporting Party to develop a comprehensive response plan related to the alleged misconduct that will provide for a fair, neutral, and equitable resolution to the alleged misconduct.

The development of a support and response plan involves two categories of institutional response: i) assistance, interim remedies, and other support that are independent of the activation or outcome of the Grievance Process; and ii) evaluation of the complaint to determine whether to activate the Grievance Process, including the consideration of Interim Measures, sanctions, or other interim remedies that may be appropriate or necessary and that are dependent upon the activation and outcome of the Grievance Process.

1. Assistance, Interim Remedies, and Other Response Activities: Set out below is a summary of the types of assistance and support that the University is committed to providing to Reporting Party independent of the Grievance Process. The TIX Coordinator will coordinate with Reporting Party to review and update these activities as appropriate. a. Assistance With Care and Support: i. Medical Providers/Law Enforcement: Assistance in contacting medical providers to access medical services; explaining options for reporting to law enforcement and providing assistance in reporting to law enforcement if requested. ii. C are and Support Resources: Reviewing information about and providing assistance as requested in contacting/accessing the care and support resources that are described in Section IV. iii. Interim Remedies: Reviewing and, to the extent appropriate, coordinating the implementation of academic and other interim remedies that may be appropriate to support Reporting Party and that may be appropriate irrespective of whether the University activates the Grievance Process, and that also may be appropriate independent of the results of the Grievance Process. Examples of such interim remedies include: A. H ousing assistance for Reporting Party, such as: changes to on-campus housing, on-campus relocation, assistance with dissolving a housing contract in accordance with housing policies; B. Academic assistance such as: providing alternative course completion options, dropping a course without penalty, or transferring to a different class section; C. Rescheduling of exams and assignments (in conjunction with appropriate faculty); D. Assistance in accessing academic counseling or support services (e.g., tutoring); E. Appropriate changes in work or class schedules; F. Providing an escort to ensure safe movement on campus; G. Facilitating a voluntary leave of absence; and, H. Other reasonable interim remedies as the TIX Coordinator determines are appropriate. b. Implementing Appropriate Non-Disciplinary Administrative Measures: In addition to direct assistance and support for Reporting Party, the University will also implement such non-disciplinary administrative measures as it determines are reasonable and appropriate irrespective of the outcome of the Grievance Process. Such measures may include general educational initiatives or trainings, or other forms of community-based responses.

2. E valuating Whether to Activate the Grievance Process: As described previously, the University has a general duty to respond to alleged sex-based discrimination or sexual harassment in order to stop and prevent any misconduct, as well as to take other appropriate steps to address the effects of the misconduct with respect to Reporting Party and the institution as a whole, including the imposition of any appropriate interim measures and/or disciplinary sanctions against the Responding Party. As a result, as soon as the TIX Coordinator has sufficient information through the intake and assessment process, the TIX Coordinator will follow the process below to determine whether to activate the Grievance Process.

Request for Confidentiality or Not to Proceed in Student Sexual Misconduct Cases As described in more detail in Section III, and pursuant to the process described therein, in sexual misconduct cases involving

student Reporting Parties, the TIX Coordinator will first consider a student’s request (if any) with respect to confidentiality/not to proceed and will make a determination as to whether it is possible to accommodate such a request, or whether it is necessary to activate the Grievance Process.

In all other cases The TIX Coordinator will make the following determination: a. That the reported incident does not merit or require activation of the Grievance Process for such reasons as: i. Even if the alleged conduct occurred, such conduct does not represent a violation under this Policy; or ii. The circumstances indicated that the report or complaint is factually impossible or frivolous (e.g., undisputed information that it was not physically possible for Responding Party to have been present (e.g., that the individual was documented to be out of the country), that the Reporting Party is asserting claims that are directly inconsistent with prior communications or statements and without providing any reasonable basis to explain the inconsistency, or other circumstances as documented in writing by the TIX Coordinator). b. That the reported incident merits or requires further investigation pursuant to the Grievance Process.

The TIX Coordinator’s determination with respect to whether to activate the Grievance Process will normally be communicated to the Reporting Party in writing within five (5) business days of the completion of the intake and assessment process. The TIX Coordinator’s determination is not subject to appeal.

3. I ntake and Assessment Process for Responding Party In the event that the TIX Coordinator activates the Grievance Process, the TIX Coordinator will request an intake and assessment meeting with the Responding Party. As with the Reporting Party, the intake and assessment process for the Responding Party is not intended to serve as an exhaustive investigation interview, but rather to provide the TIX Coordinator with sufficient contextual information from the Responding Party’s perspective to continue to evaluate appropriate next steps for responding in a manner that is fair, neutral, and equitable for all parties.

The TIX Coordinator will provide the following information to the Responding Party as appropriate under the circumstances: a. Interim Remedies: A review and discussion of any interim remedies that may be appropriate for Responding Party. b. Complaint Options/Grievance Process/Interim Measures: A review of the Reporting Party’s internal and external complaint options, the University’s Grievance Process – including the current posture of any Interim Measures being implemented or evaluated pursuant to that process. In addition, the University will also review the relationship and status, if known, of the University’s process to any external process that the Reporting Party may also pursue (including reporting to law enforcement or external agencies). c. Care and Support Resources: A review of the care and support resources that are available to support the Responding Party (as described in more detail in Section IV).

VII. PREVENTION AND EDUCATION he University takes education and prevention about issues of sex-based T discrimination and sexual harassment, including sexual misconduct, seriously and has programs designed to educate the University community about these important issues.

IX. RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER STATUTES A. The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (the “Clery Act”) The Clery Act is a federal law requiring institutions of higher education to collect and report statistics on certain crimes in an “Annual Security Report.” Certain University officials have a duty to provide the Department of Safety and Security with information regarding crimes when they are reported to them. All personally identifiable information is kept confidential, but statistical information regarding Clery-reportable crimes must be shared, including the date and location of the incident (but not the specific address) and information about the reported crime, to allow for proper classification. This report provides the community with information about the extent and nature of campus crime, in order to ensure greater community safety.

University officials who are required to inform SCAD Campus Safety and Security of crimes reported to them include: the Department of Public officers, local police, full- and part-time athletic coaches, the Director of Athletics, Dean of Students non-administrative support staff, Resident Assistants, residence life staff, student activities staff, Human Resources staff, advisors to student organizations, and any other official with significant responsibility for student and campus activities. A copy of the University’s Annual Security Report can be found at scad.edu/life/safety-and-security.

B. Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (“FERPA”) The outcome of any Grievance Process conducted related to this Policy is part of the educational record of the Responding Party, if the Responding Party is a student; or the employee record, if the Responding Party is a faculty or staff member.

Generally speaking, the educational records of students are protected from release under a federal law, FERPA (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99). The University complies with FERPA regulations regarding the privacy of student records and observes the following exceptions to FERPA as mandated by the Clery Act: 1. The Reporting Party(s) in a Grievance Process related to sexual misconduct pursuant to the Policy have the right to be informed of the findings and sanction(s) of the Grievance Process, in writing, without condition or limitation.

2. The Reporting Party(s) in sexual exploitation, sexual harassment, stalking, relationship violence, and any other gender-based offense have the right to be informed of the finding, in writing, and to be informed of any sanction(s) that directly relate to them, and to essential facts supporting the outcome when the outcome is “responsible” (and the underlying offense is a crime of violence as defined below and in 34 C.F.R. 99.39) or it is equitable to share the essential findings with all parties.

3. The Clery Act permits the University to publicly release the name, the nature of the violation, and the sanction(s) for any student who is found in violation of a University policy that is a “crime of violence,” including: arson, burglary, robbery, criminal homicide, sex offenses, assault, intimidation (which may encompass stalking or bullying), hazing, destruction/damage/vandalism of property, and kidnapping/ abduction.

FERPA allows for the release of student records beyond the Clery exceptions listed above. Some other circumstances that provide for the release of student records are listed below. For a full understanding of student rights and FERPA, please see the University’s FERPA policy, which is maintained on the Registrar’s website.

1. S tudent education records, including student conduct records, can be subpoenaed by a court of law.

The appeal must be received within 30 calendar days of the date on the unsatisfactory progress notification letter. A decision 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.

Student account appeals Students with extenuating circumstances may appeal via email to the university by emailing studentaccounts@scad.edu for refund or credit. Such appeals must be initiated within 30 days of the end of the quarter for which the refund or credit is requested and should include supporting documentation when relevant. The student will receive an email response within 30 calendar days of the date of the written 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 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, student identification (ID) number, email address, street 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.

4. The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures of the college to comply with the requirements of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. 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

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. Students should consult a success adviser before retaking a course, as financial aid and/or scholarship awards could be affected.

CERTIFICATE COMPLETION REQUIREMENTS 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. Current students may pursue a certificate by contacting their success adviser. Additional coursework may be required to earn a certificate concurrent with a degree.

SCAD.EDU / POLICIES

BACHELOR’S DEGREE GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS

350

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. The final 45 hours of any degree program must be completed at SCAD (may include eLearning and study abroad). Students must complete all academic requirements for undergraduate majors and minors before beginning a SCAD graduate degree.

Bachelor’s degree students must complete the application for graduation at least two quarters before they complete their degree requirements.

The graduation application is required whether or not the student plans to participate in a commencement ceremony. In Atlanta, Hong Kong and Savannah, a commencement ceremony is held at the end of spring quarter. Students who plan to participate in the commencement ceremony must complete all degree requirements no later than the summer quarter following the ceremony. Students should note that course offerings may be limited in the summer. Students who would like to participate in the commencement ceremony must apply by the deadline posted in MySCAD (MySCAD > Resources > Department Directory > Registrar > Graduation and Commencement).

At graduation, bachelor’s degree students may be awarded academic honors based on their cumulative grade-point average during their last quarter before commencement. Since commencement is scheduled before final grades are submitted, the cumulative grade-point averages of students who complete their graduation requirements spring quarter are based on their averages the previous quarter. Students who have a cumulative grade-point average below a specific honor level prior to commencement, but earn the required average after grades are calculated, have that honor indicated on their diploma.

Honors Cum Laude Magna Cum Laude Summa Cum Laude

3.5 to 3.69 GPA 3.7 to 3.89 GPA 3.9 to 4.0 GPA

Students enrolled in B.F.A. programs in art history and architectural history are required to complete a thesis as part of their graduation requirements. Students register for the thesis course at the end of their program and are expected to complete the thesis by the end of the final enrollment term. Students who do not finish their theses by the end of the term may request a grade of incomplete subject to the temporary grade of incomplete policy.

GRADUATE CANDIDACY 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, a faculty committee 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 students’ knowledge and literature of the discipline; mastery of research and design methodologies; and technical, conceptual and aesthetic proficiencies. 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 advising 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.

FIVE-YEAR COMPLETION LIMIT FOR GRADUATE DEGREES The completion limit for graduate degrees is five years from the first day at SCAD. If, for any reason, the student does not complete the program within the five-year period, the student must submit a graduate application for readmission through the registrar’s office for continuation under the current program of study. The application is reviewed by the appropriate academic administrators.

MASTER’S DEGREE GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS In order to graduate, students seeking master’s degrees are required to be continuously enrolled (at least two quarters per academic year, including continuing thesis, up to the five-year limit), fulfill all requirements of the program of study, and maintain a 3.0 or higher cumulative grade-point average overall as well as a 3.0 or higher cumulative grade-point average in the major area of study. To graduate with a double major or dual degree, graduate students must fulfill all requirements of each major. Specific completion requirements may vary according to the degree program and may require a thesis, final project or portfolio appropriate to the course of study. The subject and nature of these projects vary among departments. See specific program requirements for each major posted in MySCAD (MySCAD > Resources > Department Directory > Graduate Advising > Thesis Information > Guidelines). The final 45 hours of any degree program must be completed at SCAD. The M.A. degree is awarded to students who have completed at least 45 graduate quarter hours (equivalent to 30 semester credit hours) in an M.A. program of study. The M.F.A. degree is awarded to students who have earned at least 90 graduate quarter hours (equivalent to 60 semester credit hours) in an M.F.A. program of study. M.A. and M.F.A. students who were assigned intensive coursework upon admission must complete that coursework as part of their degree requirements.

The professional M.Arch. degree is awarded to students who have completed at least 90 graduate quarter hours in the professional M.Arch. program of study and a preprofessional or preparatory degree. The SCAD professional degree is composed of 180 undergraduate quarter hours and 90 graduate quarter hours for a total of 270 quarter hours (equivalent to 180 semester credit hours). Students may fulfill the undergraduate requirement with either the SCAD B.F.A. degree in architecture or a preprofessional degree in architecture from another institution accepted for admittance to the SCAD professional M.Arch. degree program. The Master of Urban Design is awarded to students who have completed at least 90 graduate quarter hours (equivalent to 60 semester credit hours) in the M.U.D. program of study.

Master’s degree students must submit the application for graduation at least two quarters before completing degree requirements. The application may be completed online in MySCAD (MySCAD > Resources > Forms > Registrar > Graduation Application). The graduation application is required whether or not the student plans to participate in a commencement ceremony. In Atlanta, Hong Kong and Savannah, a commencement ceremony will be held at the end of spring quarter.

Students who would like to participate in the commencement ceremony must apply by the deadline posted in MySCAD (MySCAD > Resources > Department Directory > Registrar > Graduation and Commencement).

In order to participate in the commencement ceremony, students must complete all degree requirements no later than the summer quarter following the ceremony. Students should note that course offerings may be limited in summer.

CONTINUED ENROLLMENT AFTER DEGREE COMPLETION Students who wish to continue to take courses after completion of degree requirements should meet with a success 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.

TRANSCRIPTS AND STUDENT RECORDS Students may request from the registrar’s office official transcripts of all coursework completed at SCAD. A fee is charged for most transcripts.

Transcripts and portfolios submitted to SCAD as part of the application process become part of the permanent records of the university and cannot be returned to the student.

OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE AND FORMS Students are expected to read all email messages from SCAD officials and utilize their SCAD email addresses for correspondence with faculty and staff. All official university correspondence and forms are provided in English. Students are expected to use the most current registration and academic forms posted on MySCAD. If for any reason online forms are not available, students should contact the office of the registrar.

STUDENT LIABILITY Physical injury and/or other medical problems, as well as loss of or damage to personal property resulting from fire, theft or other causes, are not the responsibility of the university. SCAD recommends that students carry personal insurance.

RIGHTS TO USE OF STUDENT WORK SCAD reserves the right to use student work, whether in its entirety or samples, and photographs or video of students and their work in publications and on SCAD websites or other promotional materials about the university.

3. O fficial transcript from each college or university attended.* Transfer 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. Transcript evaluations for the award of transfer credit may not be completed without receipt of official transcripts. All transcripts/mark sheets must be in English or accompanied by a certified English translation.

The admission office must receive all official transcripts prior to the first day of class. Failure to comply with this requirement may prohibit the student from attending classes for that quarter.

SCAD reserves the right to verify all documents submitted in application for admission. Offers of admission are contingent upon receipt of official documentation and SCAD reserves the right to revoke any offer of admission should discrepancies be found. Any falsification of admission documents, portfolio or audition materials constitutes grounds for termination of application procedures or dismissal from SCAD. If the number of college or university credits earned is insufficient for evaluating performance, the applicant may be required to submit a diploma from a U.S. high school or equivalent program* and SAT or ACT** scores. (To have these scores sent directly to SCAD, applicants should use SAT code 5631 or ACT code 0855 on the test form. SAT or ACT scores are not required of international applicants or applicants who have been out of high school for at least two years.)

4. E vidence of English proficiency for students whose first language is not English.*** 5.

• A certificate of General Educational Development from the American Council on Education is considered equivalent to a diploma from a U.S. high school. For student applicants from countries other than the U.S., SCAD generally uses the standards established by the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers to determine the equivalent academic achievement. For home-schooled applicants, an academic portfolio is also acceptable and may include, but is not limited to, the following: • Verification that the home school has been recognized by the state of residence of the applicant.

• Detailed outline of the home-school curriculum, including subject areas studied, time spent on each discipline, and, if applicable, grades awarded. A home-school transcript may fulfill this requirement.

unable to demonstrate an aptitude for the study of mathematics and science must complete MATH 101 in order to pursue the professional M.Arch. degree. The credit hours earned in MATH 101 may be applied as an undergraduate general education elective toward the 270 credit hours required for the M.Arch. degree. ***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 ESL placement 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 reading 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.

• Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) score of at least 550 on the reading portion, or 22 on both the reading and writing sections of the ACT. • Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) score of at least 5 in English language.

Otherwise qualified applicants who do not meet the minimum scores listed above must take a SCAD English language placement 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 at 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 placement 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.

Supplementary materials Applicants who do not meet the standard criteria for admission are encouraged to submit supplementary materials that may include one or more of the following:

* Non-U.S. students, please refer to the international applicant section on page 392 for details.

1. Recommendations.

One to three recommendations from professors, teachers, counselors, professionals or community leaders with whom the applicant has had immediate contact. Recommendations should address the applicant’s level of commitment, as well as attributes such as creativity, initiative, motivation, character and academic achievement, to aid in assessing the applicant’s reasonable potential for success as a student at SCAD. Recommendations may not come from friends or family members except in the case of a teacher-parent.

** Students pursuing the M.Arch degree who have SAT math scores lower than 580, ACT math scores lower than 24, or who are otherwise

2. S tatement of purpose.

The statement should be no more than 500 words in length and

• Writing sample that is academic in nature, but not necessarily a graded assignment or one used for coursework.

• Résumé of courses taken outside the home. If courses have been taken at a college or university, official transcripts are required.

should provide an overview of the applicant’s academic and personal experience, describing preparation for and commitment to further study at SCAD, as well as educational and professional goals and aspirations.

3. Portfolio, audition, riding or writing submission.

4. Résumé or list of achievements and awards.

5. In-person

or telephone interview (may be scheduled by contacting the admission office).

Articulation agreements Articulation agreements outline the specific programs of study students may complete at certain colleges in order to transfer to SCAD with advanced standing as a Bachelor of Fine Arts or Bachelor of Arts candidate after earning an associate degree. Students must apply (see requirements for “undergraduate transfer application guidelines”) and be accepted to SCAD. A complete listing of SCAD articulation agreements is available online at scad.edu/articulation.

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.

Advanced Placement credit Advanced Placement examinations are administered through the College Board to provide documentation of a level of achievement that qualifies a student for advanced standing. Credit is awarded for AP courses taken at the high school level if certain requirements are met. AP credit awarded by another college or university is not transferable without proper documentation.

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 portfolio-based 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.

Undergraduate acceptance Completed applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and applicants are notified of the admission decision accordingly.

In some cases, the Admission Review Committee may request additional materials from applicants whose overall completed application file does not meet or exceed regular admission standards. This may include cases where standardized test scores are below 1080 on the SAT (math and reading only) or 21 on the ACT, and/or the secondary school, high school or college grade-point average is below 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. All applicants may submit supporting materials such as portfolio, recommendations or statement of purpose and/or have

a personal or telephone interview to enhance their application file.

Admission decisions are made on a case-by-case basis.

Graduate application requirements

Exceptions to the general rules of admission may be made for applicants of unusual motivation and ability. Application materials cannot be returned.

2. Nonrefundable application fee (US$40).

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.

All graduate degree applicants should review the graduate candidacy and completion requirements in the academic programs and policies section.

Graduate admission with required intensive and/or additional graduate-level coursework For students with exceptional motivation who meet entry-level admission requirements but fail to demonstrate adequate disciplinespecific knowledge and/or practice through their portfolios, SCAD may assign intensive and/or additional graduate-level coursework beyond the standard curriculum. As many as five courses could be included as part of the graduate program of study and will therefore extend the time and credit hours required to complete the program. Courses are assigned by the Admission Review Committee, in consultation with leadership from the intended academic program, based on the student’s prior educational experience and demonstrated level of achievement. Students accepted with intensive and/or additional graduate-level coursework should consult with their admission adviser regarding eligibility for federal financial aid. Intensive and/or additional graduate-level coursework may not be offered every quarter or at every SCAD location and, thus, may change a student’s entry term and intended location.

Students who seek exemption from any assigned intensive and/ or additional graduate course must provide documentation to the admission department that demonstrates mastery of skills and sufficient knowledge of content taught in the specific additional and/or intensive course. The Admission Review Committee will review additional work and render decisions on granting exceptions, as appropriate. A student who is granted exemption does not receive credit for the course, but the course is eliminated from the student’s additional course requirements.

1. Completed application for 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.

The graduate transfer credit policy applies to SCAD alumni wishing to complete an additional graduate degree at SCAD. Transfer of credits earned in coursework required for multiple degrees is evaluated on a case-by-case, course-by-course basis.

INTERNATIONAL APPLICANTS 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.

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. For more information, certificate applicants should contact the admission department by telephone or email or visit the SCAD website at scad. edu/admission.

Nondegree-seeking Enrollment of nondegree-seeking students is offered on a spaceavailable basis for individuals who, while not wishing to pursue a degree, would like to enroll in SCAD courses. Nondegree-seeking applicants must submit an application for admission, a résumé, and a nonrefundable US$40 application fee submitted via scad.edu/apply.

Applicants denied admission to SCAD as degree-seeking students may or may not be eligible for enrollment as nondegree-seeking students. Performance in courses taken as a nondegree-seeking student does not automatically qualify an applicant for admission as a degree-seeking student. Nondegree-seeking students who wish to become degree-seeking must fulfill the application requirements in effect for degree-seeking students. Nondegree-seeking students are not eligible for financial aid or scholarships, but they may reside in SCAD housing on a space-available basis.

SCHOLARSHIPS SCHOLARSHIPS AND GRANTS FOR ENTERING UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS (NONREPAYABLE

SCAD.EDU / POLICIES

FUNDS)

362

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.

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.

Space is confirmed upon full payment of the housing balance and receipt of a signed housing agreement. Payment dates for the housing balance and tuition are published and must be adhered to in order to avoid being dropped from class or SCAD housing. Late fees may be charged when fees are paid after the university’s published due dates.

All SCAD fees are payable in accordance with the applicable due dates indicated in emails and posted on scad.edu. These due dates apply to students, parents, guardians or any third party taking responsibility for a SCAD student account.

Fees not remitted by a parent, guardian or responsible third party remain the responsibility of the student and must be paid by applicable due dates.

Billing and account balances

Payments from a third party

Updated charges and account information will be available July through October for fall quarter and immediately after the registration periods for winter, spring and summer quarters. Prompt registration ensures that students receive an accurate balance in time to meet the payment due dates. All registered students receive notices of account activity to their SCAD email address. Account balances can be accessed in real time through MySCAD via the My Student Account channel, found in the My Info tab.

A third-party sponsor is an entity that has agreed to pay all or a specified portion of a student’s charges at SCAD, such as a state prepaid college plan, a governmental or international sponsor or a scholarship program. Students with third-party arrangements should be aware of the anticipated payment from the third party and pay the difference by the payment due date. Failure to pay the portion not covered by the third party as stated on the student’s guarantee/authorization could result in late penalties and classes being dropped. If the third party fails to make payment, the outstanding balance becomes the responsibility of the student.

Payment dates schedule May 1 Fall new student enrollment fee due.

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.

• SEOG and Pell will both disburse in prorated amounts at any enrollment level.

• 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: – Federal 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 lender-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.

Credit balance 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. 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.

In instances where direct deposit has not been set up, a paper check will be mailed or available for pick-up at the Student Accounts Office.

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 Federal student aid 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 Federal Title IV funds, resulting in a 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.

Authorization for Disposition of Financial Aid Funds By signing an Authorization of Funds form, students authorize SCAD to apply Federal Title IV funds and other financial aid to all legitimate institutional charges or request that SCAD retain credit on their accounts for budgeting purposes. Federal Title IV funds include Pell and Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (SEOG) and student and parent federal loans. The Authorization for Parent PLUS Loan form allows a parent to indicate in whose name refund checks should be issued. This is a one-time authorization and is valid for subsequent award years. The form and conditions are available on the SCAD website at scad.edu/studentaccounts and may be modified in writing through the student accounts office.

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

Returned check fees The charge for a returned check is US$35. After two checks (paper or electronic) have been returned, all check-writing privileges are revoked.

A student whose tuition payment check is returned for insufficient funds may be charged a late payment fee of 5 percent of the balance due, as well as a returned check charge of US$35.

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, withdrawing 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.

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.

Some states mandate unique refund schedules for eLearning students who are residents of their state. Those state-specific 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 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 Application for Federal Student Aid, the Georgia aid application for Georgia residents and the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program.

Students can access their SCAD financial records through MySCAD at scad.edu to review financial aid application requirements, download required forms, receive award notification and view all aid applied to their student accounts.

Students applying for admission to SCAD should contact the admission office regarding financial aid: Atlanta 877.722.3285 or 404.253.2700 or scadatl@scad.edu Hong Kong 852.2253.8044 or admission@scad.edu.hk Savannah/eLearning 800.869.7223 or 912.525.5100 or admission@scad.edu

Continuing SCAD students should contact their staff adviser: UNDERGRADUATE Atlanta 404.253.3400 or atl_advise@scad.edu Hong Kong 852.2253.8044 or advisement@scad.edu Savannah/eLearning 912.525.5820 or advisement@scad.edu GRADUATE Atlanta 404.253.3400 or gradstudiesatl@scad.edu Hong Kong 852.2253.8044 or advisement@scad.edu Savannah/eLearning 912.525.6315 or graduatestudies@scad.edu

Financial aid application process Students should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid online at fafsa.gov, and include SCAD as a school choice using the SCAD code number 015022. Accurate income tax information should be used and is accessible on the FAFSA website through the Internal Revenue Service’s data retrieval tool.

Within three to five days after filing the FAFSA online, students should receive a Student Aid Report from the federal government. Students should review the SAR for accuracy and submit any necessary revisions to the federal processor.

Students who receive a request for additional information from the SCAD financial aid office should complete and return the information promptly. If selected for verification, students may be required to submit documentation in the form of a specified year’s IRS tax transcript.

Further information is available online at scad.edu/verification.

After all information has been received and processed, an official award of financial assistance is sent via email to the student from SCAD. The award lists all financial assistance the student can receive, including scholarships, grants and loans.

Students must apply for admission at scad.edu/apply and be accepted to SCAD in order to be offered financial aid.

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 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.

SCAD processes federal aid throughout the year on a first-completed, first-awarded 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 and emailed to the student. 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 degree-seeking 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 Grant eligible students. Funds are available to 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.

The amount of subsidized vs. unsubsidized loan that can be borrowed is determined by results from the FAFSA and remaining need.

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 graduate-level 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, low-interest loans with a minimum 10-year repayment term and several repayment options.

William D. Ford Federal Direct Parent PLUS Loan Program (repayable funds) The Parent PLUS loan program enables credit-worthy parents and stepparents (must be listed on the FAFSA) of dependent students to borrow funds for educational purposes. Parents may borrow up to the full cost of attendance or any educational expenses that student aid does not cover. PLUS loans are collateral-free, low-interest 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. Students must meet specific eligibility requirements in order to participate in the Federal Work-study Program (FWS) or to work in institutionally funded positions on campus. Job opportunities are designed to complement and reinforce career development and provide a valuable opportunity to develop skill sets relevant to a student’s desired career. For more information regarding the university’s student employment program, or to review eligibility requirements, visit scad.edu/studentemployment or email stemploy@scad.edu. Staff can also be reached by phone during normal business hours at 912.525.8776.Additionally, a variety of community service opportunities are available for FWS-eligible students.

Hong Kong aid The Student Financial Assistance Agency of Hong Kong offers certain types of financial aid for SCAD Hong Kong students. Eligibility requirements include the right of abode in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, permission to stay in Hong Kong without restriction, or to have resided or have had their home in Hong Kong continuously for three complete years immediately prior to the commencement of the program/course (not including those studying in Hong Kong who hold student visas).

SCAD Hong Kong students are eligible to apply for Hong Kong government grants and low-interest loans. The government currently offers the Financial Assistance Scheme for Postsecondary Students, the Non-means-tested Loan Scheme for Postsecondary Students and the Student Travel Subsidy Scheme to students pursuing self-financing accredited postsecondary education courses. These programs are administered by the Student Financial Assistance Agency. For more information, visit wfsfaa.gov.hk.

STATE AID Students who qualify for state programs that are payable to out-ofstate colleges should contact their state’s educational authority for information on application and payment. SCAD will provide an invoice for a state program that requires one. Funding does not show as a credit on the student’s account until payment is received.

Incoming new students who qualify for state programs that are not payable at out-of-state colleges should contact the admission office directly at 800.869.7223 or 912.525.5100 in Savannah, or 877.722.3285 or 404.253.2700 in Atlanta, for information on possible assistance.

Vocational rehabilitation aid Many states offer vocational rehabilitation benefits to qualified students requiring these services. Any student who has a qualifying condition for vocational rehabilitation benefits should contact the appropriate state agency directly. If the state agency requires a financial aid offer prior to determining or distributing state funding, eligible students must complete the financial aid process before that offer may be presented to the agency.

GEORGIA AID PROGRAMS

372

Georgia Student Access Loan (repayable funds) The Georgia Student Finance Commission offers a 1 percent interest loan to Georgia students who have exhausted all other means of financial assistance. Students must apply for this loan and be selected via a lottery system through the Georgia Student Finance Commission and must maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress. Information is available at gafutures.org and information on the SCAD Satisfactory Academic Progress policy is available at scad.edu/financialpolicies.

Georgia Tuition Equalization Grant (nonrepayable funds) The Georgia Student Finance Commission administers the Georgia Tuition Equalization Grant program for resident students attending eligible private colleges in Georgia, such as SCAD. The program is restricted to full-time students who are Georgia residents and who are seeking an undergraduate degree. Personal or family income is not a factor for eligibility. All Georgia residents attending SCAD should apply for the GTEG. Complete information is available at gafutures.org.

Georgia Helping Outstanding Pupils Educationally Scholarship (nonrepayable funds) The Georgia Student Finance Commission offers the HOPE scholarship program to Georgia students who graduated from an eligible high school and who have achieved a grade-point average of 3.0 or higher as determined by Georgia state guidelines.

Complete information is available at gafutures.org.

Zell Miller Scholarship (nonrepayable funds) The Georgia Student Financial Commission offers the Zell Miller Scholarship program to Georgia students who graduated from an eligible high school, who have achieved a grade-point average of at least 3.7 as determined by Georgia state guidelines, and who have achieved qualifying scores on the SAT of at least 1200 combined on the math and reading portions, or a composite score of at least 26 on the ACT. Students must maintain a cumulative grade-point average of 3.3 (reviewed periodically throughout the academic year in accordance with program rules) for eligibility. Complete information is available at gafutures.org.

ALTERNATIVE FUNDING SOURCES 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.

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 the 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. Students must also complete degree requirements within a maximum time frame of 150 percent of the required credit hours for their program.

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.

NATIONAL ARCHITECTURAL ACCREDITING BOARD In the United States, most state registration boards require a degree from an accredited professional degree program as a prerequisite for licensure. The National Architectural Accrediting Board, which is the sole agency authorized to accredit U.S. professional degree programs in architecture, recognizes three types of degrees: the Bachelor of Architecture, the Master of Architecture, and the Doctor of Architecture. A program may be granted an eight-year, three-year or two-year term of accreditation, depending on the extent of its conformance with established educational standards.

Doctor of Architecture and Master of Architecture degree programs may consist of a pre-professional undergraduate degree and a professional graduate degree that, when earned sequentially, constitute an accredited professional education. However, the pre-professional degree is not, by itself, recognized as an accredited degree.

The Savannah College of Art and Design School of Building Arts offers the following NAAB-accredited degree program: M.Arch.
