Intercollege Transfer


Intercollege transfer is the process of transferring from one College to another within the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Students who intercollege transfer to the School of Art + Design are generally placed in the Art Foundation curriculum. To be considered, candidates will need to submit the A+D Portfolio Submission Form for Intercollege Transfers and a portfolio consisting of 10 works of art in either CD-ROM or 35mm slide format (for specific directions, see Portfolio Submission Form for Intercollege Transfers).

You may submit your portfolio in person to Mark Avery (140 Art + Design Building) or by mail to:

Undergraduate Admissions
School of Art + Design
UIUC
408 East Peabody Drive
Champaign, IL 61820

Clearly mark your application portfolio. If you want your portfolio returned, please include an appropriately sized stamped, self-addressed envelope.

The portfolio is a collection of your recent work that illustrates your ability for advanced study as an art and design practitioner, educator or historian. It should demonstrate your ability to create and communicate ideas visually using various mediums and technical processes. The portfolio should consist of 10 examples of your recent work. Examples of work to include are drawings, paintings, photographs, digital artwork, designs (product and other objects), ceramics, jewelry/metals, sculpture, textiles and video. Work illustrating proficiency in a variety of mediums is encouraged. Drawings from real life observation are preferable to those copied from photographs or other images. These drawings can be exploratory, i.e. spontaneous or more finished.

Intercollege transfer applications are due by June 16, 2008.
