ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS Undergraduate Admission FIRST-TIME FRESHMAN APPLICANTS 1. Completed application for admission.


2. Nonrefundable application fee. US$35 if submitted online; US$70 if submitted in paper form.


3. A diploma from a United States high school or equivalent program.* Applicants must submit an official transcript/mark sheet


from last high school/secondary school attended, showing all years of the student’s grades. Home-schooled students may provide correspondence school or other accredited private home school transcript or an academic portfolio. Prior to enrollment, SCAD must receive proof of completion of the high school/secondary school or equivalent program. All transcripts/mark sheets must be in English or accompanied by a certified English translation.

5. Demonstration of English proficiency for students whose first language is not English.***


6. Additionally, if applicable, any other documents or materials required to obtain a student visa.****


Exceptions to the general rules of admission may be made for applicants of unusual motivation and ability. Application materials cannot be returned.


* A certificate of General Educational Development from the American Council of Education is considered equivalent to a diploma from a U.S. high school. For applicants from countries other than the United States, SCAD uses the standards established by the National Association of Foreign Student Advisors and the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers to determine the equivalent academic achievement. For home-schooled applicants, an academic portfolio is also acceptable and may include, but is not limited to, the following:


• Verification that the home school has been recognized by the state of residence of the applicant.


• Detailed outline of the home-school curriculum, including subject areas studied, time spent on each discipline, and, if applicable, grades awarded. A home-school transcript may fulfill this requirement.


• Writing sample that is academic in nature, but not necessarily a graded assignment or one used for coursework.


• Résumé of classes taken outside the home. If classes have been taken at a college or university, official transcripts are required.


** Architecture applicants: Students applying to the professional architecture program must attain a minimum SAT math score of 540 or ACT math score of 23 in order to be granted regular acceptance. Otherwise qualified applicants to the professional architecture program who have not attained these scores or who are unable to demonstrate an aptitude for the study of mathematics and science may be admitted to the professional architecture program on a provisional basis. One condition stipulates that the student must complete MATH 101 with a grade of 2.0 or higher and complete MATH 201 and PHYS 201 with a grade of 2.0 or higher in order


admi ss ion


to pursue the professional architecture degree. The credit hours earned in MATH 101 may be applied as an elective toward credit hours required for the professional architecture degree.


*** English is the medium of instruction for all classes at SCAD. In addition to meeting or exceeding all other SCAD admission criteria, applicants must demonstrate English proficiency by providing official minimum scores on one of the following:


1. Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) minimum scores (SCAD code 5631): a. 550 on the paper-based test b. 85 on the Internet-based test with minimum score of 20 on each section.


2. International English Language Testing System (IELTS) minimum score of at least 6.5.


3. American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL), “high advanced” score on the writing proficiency portion of the test.


4. Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) minimum score of at least 500 on the critical reading portion.


For applicants whose native language is English, or whose academic transcripts show extensive study in an institution in which English is the language of instruction, no additional proof of English proficiency is required. Students who meet the minimum required composite


score but do not meet the minimum section scores will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis for possible exemption. All decisions are final. Applicants who meet or exceed all other SCAD admission requirements, but do not demonstrate English proficiency through minimum TOEFL, IELTS, ACTFL or SAT scores, may be admitted to the SCAD English as a Second Language (ESL) program. These students must take a SCAD English language proficiency test to be placed in the appropriate level of ESL. Students must satisfactorily complete the ESL program through Level IV prior to advancing into any academic course of study at SCAD and must continue taking ESL through satisfactory completion of Level VI. Students who score below 50 on the internet-based TOEFL; below 4.5 on the IELTS; or place at the intermediate low-, novice high-, mid- or low-proficiency levels on the ACTFL writing profiency test may consider admission into the online ESL program. **** Official certification of sources and funds. Copy of the first page of the applicant’s passport (requested, but not required). A copy of the first page of the passport for any dependent accompanying the student also is requested. These documents are used to verify correct spelling of names, correct birth dates, and other information vital to student registration.


Supplementary Materials All applicants may submit supplementary materials to enhance their admission files and to be considered for an artistic scholarship. Applicants whose high school or secondary school grade point average is below 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) or who did not score at least 1000 on the SAT (math and reading only) or at least 21 on the ACT are strongly encouraged to submit supplementary materials: 1. Portfolio, audition or writing submission. (See undergraduate portfolio guidelines.) The portfolio, audition or writing submission is scored according to a rubric relevant to the type of submission.


2. Recommendations. One to three recommendations may be submitted by a teacher, counselor or community leader with whom the applicant has had immediate contact.
