The Evaluation ProcessThe candidate has two opportunities to pass AGD 301: B.F.A. Portfolio Review (1 s.h.). A portfoliopacket submission will be reviewed by a committee of at least three faculty members. If the portfolio doesnot pass the review, explanations and specific suggestions for corrective action will be provided. Thecandidate may attempt the review process again. If the candidate does not pass the second review, he/shewill not be permitted to earn a B.F.A. degree and will continue with the B.A. degree.Most 300 and all 400 level classes are available only to students who have passed AGD 301: B.F.A.Portfolio Review. You may request a permit from the instructor to enroll in these courses even if you donot pass AGD 301.Portfolio DeclinedIf the candidate meets all the B.F.A. Portfolio Review class requirements, but receives a failing scoreon the portfolio packet itself, he/she will receive a grade of ‘I’ [incomplete] in the B.F.A. Portfolio Reviewcourse. The candidate will not need to take the course again, but must resubmit the portfolio at a later date.When the portfolio is accepted into the program, the ‘I’ grade will be changed to ‘Pass’. If the candidates’second portfolio submission is declined, or if he/she fails to resubmit he/she will receive a grade of ‘F’.
