Students transferring from other colleges and universities should consult the department Chair about meeting the requirements of the major.

The art department encourages students to explore opportunities for study abroad. For further information on study abroad programs, please see your advisor as well as the Office for International Studies. Students planning a year or semester away should consult the department Chair or the Director of the Studio program in advance about any courses that they would like to have count towards the minimum major. Applications for approval of courses taken abroad or at institutions other than Wellesley College should be submitted to the department chair only after they have been approved by the Registrar. Include a photocopy of course description. These should be submitted for approval before the course is taken. Forms submitted after a course has been taken or while it is in progress will be signed only under extraordinary circumstances and only if special permission has been granted to do this. Studio courses taken elsewhere must be documented afterwards with a portfolio in order to receive credit in the major.

Remember that normally no more than three units of transfer credit may be counted towards a minimum major. If you have more than a minimum major, you may count more units of transfer credit to- wards completion of your degree.
