ACADEMIC POLICIES FOR THE ART EDUCATION PROGRAM
Grading System
The Art Education department uses a standard letter grading system of Honors, A+, A, A-, B+, B, B-, C or Fail (F). Students completing 80% of their course work in a given course may request an incomplete. Unless the professor grants an extension in writing, students must resolve all incompletes by the middle of the following semester, or the grade converts to a failing one.

Mid-Semester Warning
A mid-semester warning alerts the student and his/her advisor that the student appears to be having difficulty with the course and may not pass.

Materials:
-1 Composition notebook for writing
-Individual determines, project by project
