Undergraduate Advising

Appointments

E-mail

Quick, short questions can be answered by email.

Ashley Rubin: arubin@email.arizona.edu

Appointments

An appointment for Academic Advising must be scheduled, in advance, through the online Trellis scheduling system or through the Program Coordinator at 621-2618. We recommend that you schedule a minimum of two appointments with an Academic Advisor per semester, and one when you are getting close to graduating.

School of Art Advising Center
Art Building, Room 11, (520) 621-2618

Hours:
MTWRF – Half Hour Blocks
8:00 – 11:30 am
1:00 – 3:00 pm

PLEASE NOTE: We do not have walk-in hours.

List Serve

Information right in your Inbox – All majors and minors should subscribe to a list serve in the School of Art.

Advisement Report

You can regularly check progress toward your educational goals through the use of a computerized degree audit advisement report in UAccess. The advisement report checks courses for which you are registered or have completed against the requirements of your program(s) and provides an audit report.

How do I obtain my advisement report?

You may obtain an advisement report by requesting it directly from the UAccess Student Center:

  • Select Student Center
  • Enter your Net ID and Password
  • Under Academics select Advisement Report in the drop down menu

Does the advisement report replace advising?

No. The purpose of the advisement report is to enhance advising by providing accurate and comprehensive information that you can use in consultation with your advisor to make academic decisions. Many major and minor requirements call for you to select course work in consultation with your academic advisor. Additionally, your advisor is able to correct errors on the advisement report and make adjustments when necessary.

Senior Degree Check

All students must complete a degree check prior to graduating from the University of Arizona. Students should apply for degree candidacy by submitting their graduation application via their UAccess Student Center.

All eligible students will be notified by the UA Registrar office, directly to their UA email account when a student is eligible to submit their graduation application through UAccess Student Center.

For detailed instructions on accessing and submitting your graduation application, click here.

**A $50.00 candidacy fee is charged to your Bursar’s account.**

Deadlines to Apply for Graduation

Spring and Summer graduates – February 1st of the intended semester.
Fall and Winter graduates–  September 1st of the intended semester.

Applications will be accepted after the deadline; however an additional $50.00 Late Candidacy Application fee will be assessed per late application.

After submitting the application for graduation, degree candidates must contact and meet with a School of Art academic advisor to initiate the Degree Audit Worksheet (DAW), which will communicate your plan to complete your final degree requirements. Your major advisor will sign your degree audit worksheet and deliver it to graduation services.

Students should not schedule your degree check appointment through the online scheduling system. Please schedule through the Program Coordinator at (520) 621-2618.

Transfer Credit

INFORMATION AND RESOURCES

There are two basic steps you must take to ensure that your transfer credit is utilized in your degree correctly.

  • You must submit transcripts based on whether you are an undergraduate Transfer Applicant or Continuing UA Student. Newly admitted freshmen must send high school transcripts to the Admissions Office in Old Main.
    • Current students should follow instructions in this link (http://www.registrar.arizona.edu/regtrans/transcripts/transfer) in order to submit transfer credits.
  • You will work with a School of Art Academic Advisor to see how the units can be utilized in your degree program.

You will need to check with both offices to insure proper transfer articulation. In-state courses have already been evaluated by the University and can be checked easily in the Course Equivalency Guide online (see below for link).

If you are a current student and plan to take courses at another institution, we encourage you to check with the Registrar and your Academic Advisor to be sure the course of study you are planning works within your degree program. You must receive a C or better in the courses you wish to transfer in order to receive UA credit. GPA’s from other institutions do not affect your UA GPA.

OTHER RESOURCES

The following links can help you determine how transfer credit may work within your educational plan. Always check with an academic advisor before you complete any course. If you are a new transfer student, you should contact an advisor to schedule an appointment as soon as you are admitted.

Course Equivalency Guide

Course by course equivalency guide for all community colleges in Arizona, the UA, ASU, and NAU.

Center for Transfer Students

General information for incoming transfer students.

Articulation Information

This site provides general information on the Transfer Model, the Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC), baccalaureate degrees offered by the public universities and their appropriate community college pathways, as well as links to other helpful sites.

Pre-approval Transfer Credits (current students)

If you would like to take a class at Northern Arizona University, Arizona State University, or an institution outside of Arizona, obtain a description of the course and speak with an academic advisor regarding whether or not the course may transfer. Keep a copy of the course syllabus.

If you believe an error has been made in the evaluation of your transcripts, make an appointment with an academic advisor to discuss the possibility of an evaluation appeal.

We're so proud of all of our 2022 graduates! This one holds a special spot in our hearts. ❤️

Lauren Paun is graduating with her BFA in Art & Visual Culture Education (emphasis on Community and Museums) and 3D Art. She has been a student employee in the School of Art for two years, working with our social media accounts. You might have talked to her about being featured here! Lauren has been an integral part of our team, doing a lot of heavy lifting to find the fabulous work y'all are creating and sharing it here.

"I would just like to say how grateful I am for the opportunity to have had such an incredible position within the School of Art; I loved supporting and promoting the amazing artists that attend this school and feel so lucky to be able to learn and create beside them. I have loved every minute working here for the past two years and we'll miss it terribly-- but I am so excited to continue my journey and pursue my career in museums. A special thank you to my friends, family, professors, and supervisors for the constant love and support!!"

We could fill encyclopedias with praise for Lauren but hopefully this small note of gratitude can be enough. Good luck!! 🥺😭

Graduation celebrations continue! Let's hear it for one of our newest PhDs, Kasey Stuart! 🎓

"I'm Kasey Stuart and I am graduating with my PhD in Art History and Education. My research explores and questions preservice teachers' reliance upon social media as a resource for lesson plans. Currently, I am developing a program to help art educators critically analyze and amend lesson plans found online before they have brought into K-12 classrooms."

Thank you for doing this critical work that keeps teachers relevant to their students, while also making sure they are intentional and accurate!

We are so glad to see everyone enjoying the incredible work done by our MFA graduates in the 2022 MFA Show! Featured in the @uazmuseumofart is Venessa Ball and her intricate project titled Crosscut: Mining and domesticity, creating a life in spite of and because of the mine.

“As a mining state, Arizona is among the leading producers of copper in the United States.
These large operations required an extensive workforce, from laborers, to geologists, engineers, and company representatives. The mine would often provide housing, schoolhouses and
gathering spaces in the surrounding area, creating an entire town owned by the company itself. Like so many other small communities in America these “boomtown” economies were built on what they believed to be stable and consistent growth. Should the ore deposit run out or the company no longer have the funds to dig any deeper, what then happens to the community? What should also happen if the very commodity the mine needs to keep going just happens to be right under the ground on which they built the town? If you ask the former townspeople of Ray-Sonora, AZ… there is no more town. In 1966, their town was demolished to continue the mine operations.
Thirty years after Ray-Sonora was removed from the map, in 1996, the Magma Copper mine where my father and grandfather worked for decades—and that had provided so much stability for my family—officially closed, because it was deemed too costly to continue operations.
The only way my father could continue his career in mining was to relocate his family to another mining town. This wouldn’t be the last time this happened in my childhood. Chasing the ore was my father’s way of ensuring our family always had a stable and comfortable life.
The delicate patterns cut from family and historical photographs highlight the tension often felt by my family and so many mining families as they attempted to build a life in the shadow of a brutal and unstable industry, dependent on an unsympathetic capitalist economy.” - @venessaball

“Small. Confused. And in Awe.”

In case you haven’t had the chance to see it yet, the 2022 MFA Exhibition is featuring this incredible body of work created by Florence Von Grote! The illustrations are based on treasured memories from the places Florence has lived. The little animals are stand-in protagonists inhabiting, exploring and experiencing dream-based worlds.

“Small. Confused. And in Awe. is based on memories of the places I have lived. Events, people, and places are contorted and blended together into a half-imagined/half-remembered architecture. The nod to children’s book illustration invites the viewer to blur the boundaries between animal and human, reality and imagination.” - @flovong

Featured images are:

We urge you to check out Florence’s amazing work in the @uazmuseumofart before the show ends on May 14!
