Students who have been dismissed from two departments are subject to academic dismissal from the college. A B- in Methods Lab is required to eligible for student teaching. Art History An Art History student must maintain a minimum B- average in the major. A student who falls below this average is considered for dismissal from the department. Departmental faculty and the student discuss such action.
Every consideration is given to special personal circumstances hampering the student's progress.
After reviews, a student may be advised, to repeat a semester, to repeat a year, to change concentrations, or to take supporting courses. In all cases, faculty advising focuses on action that can best help the student graduate with a good standard of work. A student who has been dropped from the department for poor performance can reapply with an improved portfolio. If the portfolio and a discussion with the student demonstrate ability and commitment, the student may be readmitted to the department. Environmental Design A student whose work remains poor after two mid-semester reviews and whose average is below C in the concentration is considered for dismissal from the department.
