Registration and Advising Information for Art and Art History Students
In this on-line art student advising web site you will find a number of helpful documents (see links below).
ALL ART and ART HISTORY STUDENTS MUST FOLLOW THESE STEPS:
Step 1: Get an Art Advisor
If you plan to be or have already declared a major in art and you do not have an art adviser, now is the time to get one! Simply ask or email any of the permanent studio or art history faculty and they will arrange the change. If you do not know any of the art faculty, email Carrie Patterson, the Department Chair, at ccpatterson@smcm.edu and she will help you find an advisor. All majors are required to have art advisors. Double majors must also have an art advisor (though they need only be your second, unofficial advisor). Minors are not required to have art advisors, but we recommend contacting art faculty when you have any questions about minor requirements or appropriate course selection.
Step 2: Plan your Course of Study/ Meet with your Advisor
On this art advising web site, you will find pages with advising information:
- Major and Minor requirements
- Major and Department FAQ’s
- Recommendations about elective course selections, etc.
- Schedule of next semester’s art and art history offerings with topic descriptions
- Downloadable worksheets to help you keep track of requirements, plan future semesters, etc
- Senior project proposal form for studio art concentrators.
Step 3: Register for Classes/ Ask to be Waitlisted
- Follow the standard on-line registration procedure.
- Attempt to register for your selected classes.
- Due
to space limitations, many of our courses have low enrollment caps and
fill up quickly. If you are closed out of a class, immediately email the
professor and ask to be put on
a waitlist. Be sure to tell us if you are trying to fulfill requirements
or credits towards a major or minor.
Declared majors and minors will have priority being added off the waitlist!
