Admission Requirements
Completion of first-year requirements with no failures. Students must have an average of at least 70% in 3.0 principal courses including:
a) VAS 1025 or VAS 1020;
b) VAH 1040 and
c) 1.0 additional course. There may be no mark less than 70% in either VAS 1025 or VAS 1020 and no mark less than 60% in VAH 1040 and the 1.0 additional principal course.
Students seeking admission to VAS 1025 directly from high school must submit a portfolio of their studio work for Department assessment as part of the University admission process. Students who are accepted and who meet the admission requirements listed above will be admitted to the BFA program without the need of another portfolio review at the end of the VAS 1025 course.
Students admitted to VAS 1020 may still enter the BFA program provided they meet the admission requirements listed above and submit a portfolio of work for approval toward the end of the second term of the VAS 1020 course.
An average of 70% with no mark less than 60% in VAS courses must be maintained for progression.
