Who evaluates Photography Department transfer courses?

Approved Photography faculty are responsible for photography transfer course equivalency, substitution, or waiver decisions. The Chair is the arbiter in the case of a dispute.

Note: In order to ensure the proper placement of transfer students, the Photography Department does not guarantee the equivalence of any Photography course, except History of Photography I. Both an interview and a portfolio review with a Photography faculty counselor are required to determine whether or not Photography transfer courses will be accepted as equivalent, substitute or waived courses in the photography major.

How long does it take?

Faculty will respond within one week of the portfolio review. Faculty will record their evaluation on a Course Equivalency, Substitution, and Waiver Form. A copy of this form will be given to the student, to the Office of Degree Evaluation, and to the College Advising Center.

What will the student receive?

Office of Degree Evaluation evaluators will revise the student's credit evaluation to reflect faculty decisions. A new or revised Green Sheet Evaluation will be issued to the student within a week of receipt of the Course Equivalency, Substitution, and Waiver Form from the department.
