Course Advising
Students may choose from any studio and academic electives according to their personal interests, provided they have the appropriate prerequisites. After students have completed their first year of the BFA, they must have their program of studies approved by a program advisor in the Department of Creative Studies. Students are also encouraged to meet with academic advisors in the Advising and Involvement Centre (UNC 207) throughout their years of study. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that all requirements for the degree are satisfied.
