Application Procedures Applying to the School of Art & Art History can be a bit complicated. To ensure that your application gets the best care and attention possible, it is important that you understand how our application procedures work. Admission Requirements Incoming Freshmen Admission for freshman students is administered through the university's
Office of Admissions. For information on admission guidelines refer to the
General Requirements for Admission section of the student catalog and/or
the Office of Admissions website. At this time incoming freshman do not submit a portfolio for admission
into the University of Florida. Freshman and Sophomore Students currently at UF but not majoring in Art or Art History Admission for freshman and sophomore students who would like to change their major into an art studio major must submit a conditional portfolio. Students may not change their major into an art studio major after having completed more than 50 credits (this includes current enrollment).Please see the undergraduate advisor to find out details about this process. Those students who are interested in changing their major into art history
must complete ARH 2050 and ARH 2051 with a grade no lower than a B prior
to gaining admission into art history. Students may not change their major
into an art or art history major if they are currently on probation in their
college. Students
may not change their major into an art history major after having completed
90 credits (this includes current enrollment). Transfer Students Your first step is to submit an application for admission to the
University of Florida. The admissions application deadlines listed here and in the student catalog are strictly enforced (also listed on the web at www.reg.ufl.edu/application-deadlines.html). Transfer students who do not have a completed application on file by the published deadlines, including all required documentation, transcripts, etc., will not be considered for admission and must apply for a subsequent term. So be sure all of your credentials (transcripts, test scores, etc.) are sent to the University of Florida Office of Admissions ASAP. Art Education majors need to submit FTCE test scores. If any portion of the application is late, the Admissions Office will deny the application. Upper-division transfer students (defined as applicants with at least 60 credit hours) are admitted to the college for the fall or summer B term, provided they fulfill the following requirements: 1. An Associate of Arts Degree (Florida community college transfers only). Students at four-year institutions must have at least 60 transferable credits. 2. Completion of all pre-professional courses with the necessary GPA (3.0 for all degrees: B.A., B.F.A. and B.A.A.E., with the exception of Art History which can be located at #7). The eight courses are as follows:
*some majors require more completed coursework. See specific majors listed below (Art History - #7, Art Education - #5, Digital Media - #6). Please note that both the Office of Admissions and the School of Art & Art History (SAAH) Advising Office must have grades for at least six of the eight pre-professional courses before a tentative admission decision can be made. Students must also provide proof to the School of Art & Art History Office that any remaining pre-professional courses will be completed prior to enrolling at UF. All pre-requisite courses must be completed prior to enrolling at the University of Florida. If any course is missing, the SAAH can reverse the acceptance decision at any time. 3. Students applying for studio programs must submit a portfolio that passes review by the SAAH portfolio review committee. The Portfolio deadline for the Summer B or Fall semesters is March 15th.
