Prospective students who are seeking financial aid should write a letter outlining their needs. Not all students receive scholarships or teaching assistantships. Several scholarships are divided among first-year students. Those who receive scholarships will have the money credited through their financial aid packets.
To be considered for a teaching assistantship, prospective students should write a letter to the graduate director of the visual arts department outlining their teaching skills and their financial situation.
Students with teaching assistantships must register for 08:081:877 Teaching Assistantship for E3 credits. While these 3 credits are not counted toward the 60-credit degree requirement, they are included in figuring whether a student has full-time status. Among the conditions of employment as a teaching assistant are (1) full-time registration, (2) no more than one IN grade, and (3) a B average or better in the graduate program. Failure to meet these conditions will terminate a student's employment.
