Statement of Faculty Senate Action:

APC Document 46: Changes in AP Credit for ART Courses

Effective Date: Fall 2005

Delete: On pgs. 26-27, under AP Test:

Art

History 3, 4, 5 3 None (A)

Studio, Drawing 3, 4, 5 3 None (A)

Studio, General 3, 4, 5 3 None (A)

Add: On pgs. 26-27, in place of deleted entry:

Art

History 5 3 ARTH 201 or 202

Studio, Drawing 5 3 None (A)

Studio, General 5 3 ART 100

Impact: This will have minimal impact on the program and resources due to the small number of students who will be eligible for credit.

Rationale: These changes will formalize a policy the Art Department instituted this past summer (2004) for incoming Freshman. Raising the acceptable score allows specific course credit to be assigned for the Art History and General Studio courses, while ensuring students are adequately prepared to advance beyond the introductory courses.
