The College uses a rolling admissions system. Applications may be accepted until the beginning of each semester. To insure availability of classes, applications should be submitted as early as possible. There are no set rules for an acceptable portfolio. In general, the applicant should show or submit the best, most recent work.
Portfolios can demonstrate a wide range of interests or a narrowly focused body of work.
Pieces recently shown for admission to KCAD include everything from hand-made furniture and computer images to more traditional items such as paintings, drawings, sculpture and graphic designs.

Slides, photographs, or videos are acceptable, especially in cases of large or three-dimensional pieces. Click here for Procedures for Shooting Slides .
