TRANSFER STUDENTS
Creativity, imagination, innovation and building the
best in the creative class is what Columbus College of Art & Design
(CCAD) strives for everyday. Transferring to CCAD means you'll finish
your college experience earning more than a degree; it's about starting
the journey of a lifetime.
Transfer students FAQ
- Is CCAD's academic calendar based on semesters or quarters?
- Semesters.
- Does CCAD accept advanced-placement (AP) credit?
- In Art a score of 5 is given art elective credit toward
a BFA degree at CCAD. In Liberal Arts scores of 3, 4, or 5 are given
required course credit, when applicable, or academic elective credit.
- Can incoming students "test out" of any classes
for college credit?
- No.
- What are the credit-hour requirements for the BFA degree?
- A minimum of 120 semester credit hours are necessary
to receive the BFA degree, No more than 64 semester credit hours can
be transferred due to CCAD's residency requirement.
- How can I get an estimate of what will transfer?
- You request a degree requirement sheet and the course
description booklet from the Admissions Office. Course descriptions
are also available online through the IQ Web database. Compare CCAD
courses to your college transcript(s) to give yourself an idea of what
might transfer. To have an estimate prepared by CCAD, complete the
admissions process by submitting an application, portfolio, and official
transcripts from college(s) and high school if you have not yet completed
a college degree.
- What classes are considered for transfer?
- Only courses with grades of "C" or higher
are considered for transfer credit. In the case of colleges that do
not use letter grades or their equivalents, exceptions might be made.
Only credits that can be used toward the degree in your major will
be counted.
- How do I convert quarter hours into semester hours when
estimating my possible transfer credit?
- Multiply quarter hours by .67 and round down to the
nearest half (e.g., a course worth five quarter hours converts to three
semester hours).
- Will I need to show artwork from college art classes
to decide transfer credits?
- Yes. During orientation/registration, a dean or faculty
member from your department will review artwork from your college art
classes to finalize your art transfer credit. Due to the variety of
content in art courses at the college level, students who have taken
art at another college are usually asked to show examples of their
work and supply CCAD with courses descriptions to assist in deciding
transfer credit.
- Can I have my artwork reviewed to finalize transfer
credits at the same time that it is reviewed for admittance to CCAD?
- No. Transfer credit is not determined during the review
of artwork for admittance.
