DEPARTMENT OF ART AND ART HISTORY
ADVISING


All students in the department of Art and Art History are advised by regular full-time faculty. Two advising periods lasting 1 to 2 weeks each are scheduled during both the Fall and the Winter semesters and will be announced in the departmental bulletin boards well in advance. Sign-up sheets are available in the departmental office (FA 205C) and students should check posted up-to-date faculty advisor lists before signing up for an appointment.

If students fail to be advised during these arranged advising sessions they may consult faculty members during posted office hours for late advising. Current office hours will be posted on this web page and/or faculty office doors. It should be noted that between semesters (mid-May to mid-August and during Winter break) advising opportunities are limited as faculty members are not scheduled for regular office hours. However, some office hours will be posted and students are urged to call or visit faculty during these times.

Hand-outs for degree requirements for majors and minors as well as for graduate degrees offered by the department are available in FA 205C. However, the office staff cannot be expected to advise students in academic matters.

Questions regarding General Education requirements for majors in the College of Art & Sciences can also be directed to the A&S advising office, 16 Scofield Hall, Phone: 816-235-1148.


Transfer Students

Transfer students are required to meet with an Arts & Sciences advisor first to discuss general education requirements prior to meeting with faculty in the Department of Art & Art History (16 Scofield Hall, Phone: 816-235-1148). Student copy of this advising sheet and trancsripts, if available, should be brought to the departmental advising appointment. Transfer students may be required to produce portfolios for advanced placement if articulation agreements have not been set up between prior institution and UMKC. These agreements can be found at: Course Equivalencies
