Where a course has been repeated, only the higher grade is counted in the GPA calculation. Students who have been required to withdraw from UFV under the Undergraduate Continuance policy 92 are subject to readmission and continuance requirements as listed in the UFV academic calendar.
Students are normally only readmitted once to the same program. Students who are required to withdraw from the BFA program must submit an appeal for readmission to the BFA Academic Advisor if they wish to resume studies in the degree program. Students who have been required to withdraw will be advised to complete a further nine credits of academic work or to repeat a similar amount of academic work taken previously in order to demonstrate their academic abilities.
Appeals must be received at least three months before the start of the semester for which a student has applied. Readmission is not automatic. If readmitted, students will be placed on Academic Warning again, subject to the conditions for Academic Warning as described above. At least 30 of these credits must be at the upper level. Transfer credits and credits earned through prior learning assessment, including course challenge, do not meet this requirement.
Students should consult the calendar section for their major or extended minors of choice, as there may be additional residency requirements for specific courses of study. It is the student's responsibility to ensure all program requirements are met. To be eligible to graduate, students must achieve a minimum program and cumulative GPA of 2.
Students must apply for graduation by completing the Graduation Request form available at ufv. This should be done in the first month of the final semester. The final deadline for students who wish to attend the June Convocation ceremony is April 1 of each year, with all program requirements completed by the Winter semester grade deadline see Important Registration Dates of each year.

Option 2: University entrance for students who have post-secondary credit in BFA-related courses; see Notes below One of the following: Completion of a minimum of 15 university-level credits in BFA-related disciplines with a minimum GPA of 2.
How to apply Apply online at ufv. Additional documents required for a complete application: Official secondary school transcript proving B. To be considered official, transcripts must be sent directly to UFV from the originating institution; see the Transfer Credit section for details. To retain their original application date, students should order early so transcripts arrive within two weeks of the date the application is mailed or submitted. When the application has been processed by the Office of the Registrar, an applicant will receive information on program orientation and portfolio submission dates, and a copy of the portfolio requirements.
Applicants under Option 1 must submit a portfolio of recently created art works and accompanying documentation, as directed in the portfolio requirements for either Visual Arts or Graphic and Digital Design. Portfolio submission is not required at the time of application, but must be submitted online for review by the submission deadlines outlined on the Visual Arts and Graphic and Digital Design websites. All applicants must attend a program orientation. An official letter of acceptance will be sent from the Office of the Registrar.
Applicants will be advised of an admission decision and, if accepted, will be provided with registration information. A deposit is required prior to registration see the Fees and Other Costs section and will be applied toward tuition fees. In cases where course work is in progress, an admission decision may be made conditional upon completion of academic requirements. Proof of completion of entrance requirements is due by the end of the first week in August for the September intake.
Basis for admission decision Applicants who meet the Option 2 entrance requirements will be admitted in order of their application date. Fees and additional costs See the Fees and Other Costs section. Program duration The BFA program can be completed in four years of full-time study, with students taking 10 courses per calendar year. After graduation, most fine artists have the option to work independently and choose to specialize in one or two art forms.
Many students pursue careers in restoration, design, architecture, or even teaching. The purpose of the certificate is to help further build your artistic skills and add to your portfolio for a design career or graduate school.
International students usually pursue a certificate program because they are flexible, as many programs are offered to be completed online. If you enroll in a certificate program where you must personally attend a fine arts college, you are likely to gain valuable individualized feedback on your artwork. Some certificate programs even offer students their own on-campus studio and allow them to attend seminars with graduate students.
A Fine Arts Certificate usually consists of 30 credit hours of foundation classes in topics such as drawing, painting, digital photography, art-making concept development, or art history critique.
Classes can start monthly or yearly depending on where you attend. Most certificate programs can be completed by an international student in as little as 9 months to two years. A MFA degree allows students to study fine arts in more depth. The most important admissions requirement will be your portfolio or a performance audition. Your coursework in an MFA program will focus entirely on your culminating of a major work or performance.
Graduates of liberal arts programs are expected to develop all the competencies outlined by the institution as necessary to graduate with a liberal arts degree i. The BFA degree in visual art normally requires that at least 65 percent of the total course credit for the degree be taken in the creation and study of art and design, and that this majority focus be supported by general study in the liberal arts, including English the humanities, and the social, natural, and physical sciences.
The primary objective of institutions offering the BFA is to provide professional education in visual art and design at the undergraduate level and to enable graduates to enter professional, studio-based careers in such fields as design, fine art, or craft after earning the degree.
BFA graduates should have the opportunity to develop technical competence, informed aesthetic judgment, and an understanding of the context in which contemporary work is created; they should also receive sound instruction in other academic disciplines in order to have a full opportunity for success in the profession. The associate of fine arts AFA or the associate of applied science AAS —if requiring 65 percent of course credit in the creation and study of art and design, and if otherwise structured to transfer to a professional baccalaureate—is considered by CAA and NASAD to be a preprofessional degree.
CAA expects graduates of professional programs to develop all the necessary competencies articulated by the institution in order to graduate in each area of specialization. Because credits are a unit of measure, reflecting amounts of work over certain periods of time, a precise definition can reconcile a variety of academic structures and record-keeping arrangements.
CAA recognizes a standard for studio-based teaching and learning in which one semester credit represents a minimum of three hours of work per week during a semester of at least fifteen weeks one quarter credit is the equivalent of two-thirds of a semester credit. Work toward credit can take place in formal classes, critiques, and technical workshops, or through independent studio activity. The distribution of time spent in and outside class must be determined by the faculty, which also decides specific educational patterns within a given institution and a particular discipline.
That said, students should meet a minimum of three hours of work per week per credit. The studio curriculum should be designed to provide breadth rather than specialization, ensuring that students take courses in a variety of media. The maximum electives in studio art and art history should normally not exceed one half the total for graduation.
The remainder 50—70 percent should be in courses in the liberal arts offered by other departments in the institution. To earn the BFA, students should complete a minimum of seventy credits or 60 percent in courses related to their intended areas of specialization, including from twelve to eighteen credit hours in art history.
These professional studies should constitute no more than 75 percent of the total work toward graduation. No less than 25 percent of the total credits needed for graduation should be in courses outside the curriculum for art, design, and art history.
The specific nature and sequence of classes in non-art disciplines are subject to the discretion and capacity of each institution. The non-art instruction usually follows introductory study in a variety of media, with some degree of specialization in a particular art discipline required. CAA recognizes that institutions can best provide the definitions of specializations and the required courses to meet them.
For example, courses in video art may contribute to additional specializations, including performance art, electronic media, and new media. Rather than prescribe definitions, CAA encourages institutions to make reasonable connections between curricula and their cumulative contributions to the outcomes of the specializations. CAA does not intend to provide curricular outlines; doing so would undermine diversity and specialization in higher-education curricula.
Credit distribution must be left to individual institutions in the belief that they will capitalize on their strengths and resources to provide the soundest education possible. Every institution need not offer coursework in every conceivable area of art or design. It is more important to teach fewer areas thoroughly than to cover a larger number of them superficially. The opportunity for all students to have their work displayed in public significantly enhances their understanding of personal achievement and growth.
Therefore, CAA strongly encourages institutions to stage regular solo and group exhibitions of student work. The process of selecting, installing, and exhibiting work strengthens the ability to think critically, express ideas creatively, and work conceptually and with thematic consistency. Other student outcomes include professionalism and technical proficiency.
Though policies regarding exhibitions of student work vary from institution to institution, every effort should be made to provide satisfactory spaces for such shows.
