Spring is possible but may cause scheduling problems. Many courses
offered in the Spring semester have pre-requisite courses that are
only offered in the Fall. You should consult with the Graduate
Advisor on what scheduling options you might have. |
| Q |
How is advising handled for the M. Arch program? |

The Graduate Advisor is the only
authorized advisor for the graduate program. No other faculty are
authorized to advise students in the graduate program. Each student
in the graduate program must be advised by the graduate advisor at
least once each semester. Students enrolled in classes without the
graduate advisor's consent may be administratively dropped without
prior notification. |
| Q |
How is transfer credit handled? |
| A |
Transfer credit for the accredited 2 year program
is handled on a course by course basis to determined
equivalence for accreditation requirements. Submitted documentation
should consist of as much of the following as possible: Course
description syllabus, name of required text, class notes, required
projects or papers. This documentation is evaluated by faculty
teaching equivalent courses for determination of equivalence. The
more complete the documentation is the easier it is to determine if
the course is equivalent and grant credit. |
| Q |
Are Graduate Assistantships available? |
| A |
There are a limited number of Graduate

to students in their first semester of study. Assistantships are
awarded primarily on the basis of matching qualifications with
Division needs. A secondary basis may be financial need or
scholastic achievement. |

| Q |

International students have additional
paperwork that must be assembled in order to get into the United
States. If we accepted students later it would not give students
adequate time to complete the necessary paperwork. |
