Statement of Faculty Senate Action:

APC Document 22: Change Advanced Placement credit for Art

Effective Date: Fall 2010

1. Delete: On page 31, in Advanced Placement section, under Art:

History 5 3 ARTH 201 or 202

Studio, Drawing 5 3 None (A)

Studio, General 5 3 ART 100

Add: On page 31, in place of deleted entry:

Art History 5 3 ARTH 201 or 202

Studio Art, Drawing 5 3 ART 112

Impact Statement:

This change will impact a very small percentage of incoming students due to the high standards we require from students in order to receive course credit. It will potentially open a few additional slots in the ART 112 classes for other incoming students who do not receive credit for AP Studio Art, Drawing. In addition it will move those students who qualify through the foundation program quicker, and into their upper level concentration areas.

Rationale:

This change will delete an obsolete AP category. The AP Studio, General exam has been eliminated by the College Board. In addition, the UNCA Art Department is redesigning its foundation curriculum and eliminating ART 100 from the Art department course offerings. The College Board’s Studio Art, Drawing category will allow incoming freshmen to be able to get course credit for ART 112 if they receive the highest score of 5 on their AP portfolio.

2. Delete: On page 33, under Notes:

A. AP test and review of portfolio by Art Department may result in course waiver.

B. Students will not receive credit for both Language and Composition and Literature

and Composition AP tests.

C. Students who score 5 on either test should contact the department chair for placement.

D. Students will not receive credit for both European and World History AP tests.

Add: On page 33, in place of deleted entry:

A. Students will not receive credit for both Language and Composition and Literature

and Composition AP tests.

B. Students who score 5 on either test should contact the department chair for placement.

C. Students will not receive credit for both European and World History AP tests.

Impact Statement:

None. The letters beside the course waivers for LANG 120, FREN 210/220, SPAN 210/220, and HIST 152 will need to be adjusted accordingly.

Rationale:

Changes are editorial to reflect the change in the equivalency for Studio, Drawing.
