Retaking a Course


Students may retake a course by registering for the course and paying tuition for that course again. While all grades remain on the transcript, the student only receives credit once for the course. Only the highest grade is calculated into the cumulative and major grade point average. Students should consult a staff adviser before retaking a course, as financial aid and/or scholarship awards could be affected.


Certificate Completion Requirements


To earn an undergraduate certificate, students must complete all courses required for the certificate, maintaining at least a 2.0 grade point average in those courses. To earn a graduate certificate, students must complete all courses required for the certificate, maintaining at least a 3.0 grade point average in those courses. Current students may pursue a certificate by contacting their staff adviser. Additional coursework may be required to earn a certificate concurrent with a degree.


Bachelor’s Degree Graduation Requirements


Bachelor’s degrees are awarded to students who have earned a minimum of 180 quarter hours (equivalent to 120 semester credit hours) of appropriate credit in an approved program of study with an overall cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or higher, as well as a 3.0 or higher in their major or concentration. Students pursuing a minor must earn a grade point average of 2.0 or higher in their minor program. To graduate with a double major, students must maintain a minimum grade point average of 3.0 in each major and a minimum overall grade point average of 2.0. The final 45 hours of any degree program must be completed at SCAD (may include eLearning and off- campus study). Bachelor’s degree students must complete the application


for graduation through the registrar’s office at least two quarters before they complete their degree requirements. Students who plan to participate in the graduation ceremony must complete all degree requirements no later than the summer quarter following the ceremony. At graduation, bachelor’s degree students may be awarded


academic honors based on their cumulative grade point average their last quarter before commencement. Since commencement is scheduled before final grades are submitted, the cumulative grade point averages of students who complete their graduation requirements spring quarter are based on their average the previous quarter. Students who have a cumulative grade point average below a specific honor level prior to commencement, but earn the required average after grades are calculated, have that honor indicated on their diploma. Honors Cum Laude


3.5 to 3.69 GPA


Magna Cum Laude 3.7 to 3.89 GPA Summa Cum Laude 3.9 to 4.0 GPA


Graduate Candidacy


At the approximate midpoint of each graduate student’s course of study, the student must pass a faculty review for candidacy. In order to be reviewed, the student must have met


all requirements for the program up to that point with a grade point average of at least 3.0 in the major. The final 45 hours of any graduate degree program must be completed at SCAD. In the candidacy review, faculty assess the student’s complete


body of work, as well as the student’s readiness to continue in the program and succeed in the field upon graduation. Reviews are structured according to the discipline and degree program, assessing evidence of knowledge of historical methodology, logical thought and original ideas, as well as aesthetic considerations. Candidates should demonstrate strong fundamental art and design skills, performance skills, teaching skills, technical proficiency, and/or strong academic and research proficiency required of the discipline and degree program. Academic performance, as demonstrated by individual course grades, also serves as an indication of a student’s readiness to proceed to candidacy. Students who experience academic difficulty should consult with their department chair, graduate coordinator or faculty adviser. Additional guidelines for the candidacy review can be found on the graduate studies website in MySCAD. Students who do not pass the review for candidacy may


request in writing through the department chair to have a second review. Any student who does not pass the second review is not allowed to continue in the program.


Five-year Completion Limit for Graduate Degrees


The completion limit for graduate degrees is five years, including ESL, intensive graduate-level coursework and/or required undergraduate courses, if assigned, as well as final project, thesis and student teaching. If, for any reason, the student does not complete the program within the five-year period, the student must petition to the office of graduate studies for continuation under the current program of study.


Master’s Degree Graduation Requirements


In order to graduate, students are required to be continuously enrolled (at least two quarters per academic year, including continuing thesis, up to the five-year limit), fulfill all requirements of the program of study, and maintain a 3.0 or higher cumulative grade point average overall as well as a 3.0 or higher cumulative grade point average in the major area of study. Specific completion requirements may vary according to the degree program and may require a thesis, student teaching, final project or portfolio appropriate to the course of study. The subject and nature of thesis projects vary among departments. Final projects and portfolio courses include a written component. See specific program requirements for each major. The final 45 hours of any degree program must be completed at SCAD. The M.A. degree is awarded to students who have completed


at least 45 graduate quarter hours (equivalent to 30 semester credit hours) in an M.A. program of study. The M.F.A. degree is awarded to students who have earned at least 90 graduate quarter hours (equivalent to 60 semester credit hours) in an M.F.A. program of study. The M.A.T. degree is awarded to students who have earned at least 60 graduate quarter hours (equivalent to 40 semester credit hours) in an M.A.T. program of study. The M.Arch. professional degree is awarded to students who


have completed at least 225 quarter hours (equivalent to 150 semester credit hours) in the professional M.Arch. program
