The University of Toledo

Department of Art Transfer Students

The University of Toledo Department of Art is accredited through the National Association of Schools of Art and Design[NASAD]. Students wishing to transfer credits into their program of study at UT must have their art course work evaluated by the department faculty.

Potential Art and Art Education majors and minors are required to submit a portfolio and syllabus for every Art course taken at any other educational institution in order to determine applicability to degree.

Once you have been admitted to the University and have declared your art major with the College of Visual and performing Arts , you must follow the portfolio review process outlined below:

Preparing your Portfolio

Please include a copy of the syllabus and catalog course description for each course being evaluated. (If you did not keep the syllabus, contact your instructor at your former school.
You can find the course catalog descriptions on your former institution’s web site.)

Submit 8 - 10 examples of the work you completed in the course. (Original work is preferred for review. Quality slides or jpeg images will also be accepted.)

Deliver your portfolio to:

Department of Art, Main Office
The Center for the Visual Arts
620 Grove Place
Toledo, OH 43620

The appropriate studio/art education faculty will evaluate the work and assign transfer credit for each course reviewed. You will be informed once the credits have been evaluated.
