Relationship between Department Chairs and Program Directors
A subcommittee of the CIC was charged with examining the interrelationships among program
director/directors, program committees, and academic departments, especially as related to curriculum
and program changes and development. The purpose was to clarify and improve the interrelationships.
(Source, Provost’s Office webpage: http://www.uwstout.edu/admin/provost/currhb/chairspd.cfm)
The subcommittee made the following recommendations:
• The members of program committees shall be responsible for keeping their respective
schools and departments informed regarding programmatic changes (additions or
deletions) that may have particular curriculum impacts within their schools.
• The program committee shall include in its membership a "professional-in-the-field" to provide
input on program focus and direction. This "professional-in-the-field" generally shall be
from outside the university community.
• Department chair or their designee shall serve on the program committee when that
department provides a significant number of courses/credits for the degree program. The
program director and college dean, where the program is housed, shall determine which
departments shall be represented.
• When a revision is being considered for a program, the program director must talk with the
department chair of the department that houses any required courses that may be added
or deleted from the existing curriculum. For electives, consultation shall take place when
the impact is significant.
• A provision shall be made for a university-level orientation of all new department chairs and
program directors to ensure that each is aware of their role in the curriculum process
and to familiarize them with data availability that may help them in their new roles. All
persons currently in these positions shall attend an initial meeting to ensure all persons
are presently aware of the relationships and differences. The provost shall designate
who shall be responsible for this function.
• When departments are recommending credit changes or adding prerequisites to existing
courses, the department shall notify the director/directors of the degree program(s) most
likely to be impacted by the change before it is sent to the curriculum committee. This
would require that a check be made on which programs require the course(s) that are
being proposed for changes.
• Prerequisites for courses required in a program shall be listed in the program inventory for the
degree and also on the plan sheet
8
Development of Articulation Agreements
It will make sense, between 2012-2014, for Program Directors in each major to look over
existing articulation agreements with institutions in Wisconsin and Minnesota, as well as, create
new agreements. Linda Young, transfer coordinator in the Admissions office, would be a central
figure in answering questions about developing new articulation agreements.
Articulation Agreement Development Process
1. Communication is made with the 2-year institution (either they contact us or we them)
and they send their courses in their program that is similar to one of ours either to Linda Young
or to the Program Director (depending on how initial communication was made).
a. The information reviewed by Program Director/Department is only major related
courses.
b. General Education is handled by Linda Young.
2. Course descriptions/syllabi not already evaluated are reviewed by the appropriate
department for an evaluation of how the courses should transfer to UW-Stout. If this is the
Program Director, they may also determine how the course fits into the major
3. Information is returned to Linda to put into the Articulation Agreement format. This includes
mapping the courses out on a program plan sheet for that particular major and determining what
would be left to complete the B.S. degree here at Stout (included on page 2 of the agreement).
a. Information required for this step is set by UW System. Sample template used for
WTCS Articulation Agreements is available.
4. The completed agreement is sent electronically to the Program Director of the major for
their review. If something needs to be changed, this is communicated. If not, final formal
agreement is put together and sent through for signatures.
5. Agreement signed by both Program Director and Dean is returned to Linda, which is
then forwarded to the Provost’s office along with the name and address of the contact person at
the other school. The provost signs it and Tricia Aspen then forwards it to the other institution for
their signature.
9
6. The signed document is returned to Stout. Tricia sends a copy to Linda, to the Program
Director and to the Dean for their records. A copy is also sent to UW System in Madison to have
the Articulation Agreement officially filed with the system.
7. PDF copy of the agreement is sent to Don Steffen to post on website of Articulation
Agreements.

As noted by Jackie Weissenburger, Associate Vice Chancellor, on 12/28/11, the following
points should be included/addressed in assessment reports. Priority in program assessment
should be the utilization and development of assessment strategies that align closely with the
program objectives (learning outcomes).

Improving the assessment of student learning – greater variability.

Direct assessments of student learning.

Show trend data over time – showing students’ progress or lack of. This may illustrate a
need to update curricular or other assessment measures.

More attention to using data and connecting data to improving the program and perhaps
the assessment tools themselves.

Make use of student data that’s available – some final exams may have useful information
and show evidence of student learning.

Methods – direct and indirect – may triangulate the data and make it more manageable.

Share your results of assessing the student learning with your advisory committees,
faculty and administration.

Be specific on your improvement plans – provide specifics.

Use of various targets (while collecting data) – could use specific survey questions to show
details.

Provide assessment for students as freshmen - junior level, not just as seniors.

External assessment tools for some programs are at the students’ expense. Look at
possibly utilizing Access to Learning fees.

Time assessment to program objectives and incorporate those into various program
capstone courses.

Utilize the Planning and Review Committee surveys and assessment as the internal
review process.

Some math and CS final exams could be utilized for student assessment.

Example of a Recruitment Plan
Coordination of Recruitment (submitted October, 2011)
(Notes on each point submitted to new Dean 7/12)
A. Recruitment Activities and Materials:
The CAHSS Undergraduate Recruitment Plan, submitted to the Provost on October 21,
2011, the BFA in Art program has outlined the following efforts towards recruitment:

Update Online and Print Marketing Materials. Continue to collaborate with the
School of Art and Design Promotion Committee, Department of Art and Art History,
Department of Design, and the M.F.A. in Design to update and coordinate online
and print marketing materials representing SOAD and its departments and
academic programs. The University Marketing group is helping to coordinate this
effort. - Currently finishing our new program webpages to assure consistent,
correct information, and a dynamic presence. Working to develop a plan to
design/print/disseminate print marketing materials for the new BFA majors. It is
important to work in conjunction with Integrated Marketing (Maureen Carlson),
Admissions Office team, and Don Steffens in our marketing efforts.

Move from Concentration to Program Models. BFA in Art will move from its
current concentrations model to a programs model in which the five existing BFA
concentrations will become five separate programs, each with its own program
director. Doing so may allow program directors to engage in more personalized,
individualized advisement, possibly further contributing to student recruitment and
retention.

Continue to maintain and refresh the very active SOAD and Department
Facebook pages, which have over 950 followers. Prospective students and their
parents report that it is their number one source for information about what’s going
on in the program.
12

Continue Outreach to MSS. The program director coordinates with Multicultural
Student Services to meet with students who come to campus for planned visits,
and a BFA faculty member will attend a “pre-college” event this summer. The
program director also regularly attends various ASPIRE events throughout the
academic year to meet and connect with students. Ongoing. Created two new
art/design Precollege experiences for MSS students, one called “Native Pride” and
one called “Design Your Future”.

Cultivate International Exchanges. The SOAD is working with the Office of
International Education on the development of new international exchange
programs in India and Korea. The Korea initiative fell through, but we have started
a new program in Finland and are expanding to and exchange program with the
Wanganui School of Design in New Zealand, and expanding the number of studio
art exchange students with an institution in Northbrook, UK. In the summer of
2012, the Program Director traveled to Rome and Florence, Italy, to investigate the
CEA Global Campuses Sites.
Future Recruitment (3-5 year plan):

School visits:
One recruitment avenue the realignment and new Program
Director positions will open up is the ability to do some traveling to visit
area/regional high schools. Program Director began building relationship with high
school contacts and visited four schools in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Future
plans: finding out when high schools have career days, visiting arts high schools
in the twin cities and Milwaukee areas, contacting BS in Art Education alumnus
and visiting their art classes.
This is an opportunity where we can feature
graduates of our programs, and highlight strong current student work.

Articulation Agreements: Develop agreements with two-year programs and
community colleges.
Site visits and viewing student work are essential to
developing course equivalencies. (See “Development of Articulation Agreements”
page in this manual for information on developing these agreements.) Work on this
will begin in earnest this fall – we have had a handful of two-year institutions who
have contacted us about this and PD’s in Graphic Design, Entertainment Design
and Interior Design will follow up during the 2012-2013 academic year and onward.
Prospective Student Tours/Visits
13
Prospective students (incoming freshmen and transfer students) visit almost every day of the
week and are coordinated via the Admissions Office. The Program Office does get requests for
tours or meetings on an individual basis, but it is smart to direct them to the Admissions Office to
set up a campus tour so the student can gain a big picture view of the university. Prospective
student visits are our best and first recruitment opportunity, a personal visit which gives
prospective students (and parents) a sense of the varied opportunities on campus and in
particular, our school and departments.
Below is an outline that has been used in the past. Please give visitors a folder that contains the
program plans for all BFA programs.

Preview Days
What to Expect:
During the academic year, 5-6 Preview Days are held each October, and two are held in March
and April. Program Directors (or a fill-in) are expected to meet with students and their families to
give an overview of your program. This is much like the weekly prospective student presentation,
but the group size is larger, so plan for more time for Q&A. Students and families like to hear
student success stories, so share one or two examples of student successes!
Tours are not planned unless you arrange to have a student tour guide or want to give a tour of
Applied Arts building yourself. You will often need two tour guides for larger groups. Visitors
appreciate this option greatly and it is recommended to arrange a tour when at all possible. Tours
are often a highlight, so it is advisable to try to set up a tour option/guide.
The Admissions Office sends out the original notice in late summer or early fall and follows up
with a reminder as preview days near. The Admissions Office will ask you to provide them with
the location of your meeting – where you will be taking your prospective students. Often,
because the BFA programs have the largest groups, we stay in the preview day room/venue
and meet with the families there. More campus visit information found at
https://www.uwstout.edu/admissions/visit.cfm. Admissions contact: 232-3199

Summers/Freshman Orientation
Summer Contracts: Summer contracts are based on your daily rate, and correlate with the
number of freshman orientation days. Freshmen Orientation and Advisement are the central
duties that Program Directors are paid for during the summer months. Freshmen Orientations
are at the end of May (for Honors, Disability, Athletes) and in June only.
A. Expectations, Overview
1. The orientations are scheduled in May and June only.
2. Because the orientations only take up about 2 hours each day, what has historically
occurred is that the remaining “days” or “hours” are stretched out over the summer months
since you will continue to get emails, requests for meetings and have transfer student
credit evaluations to complete. (I have used a half-day model – scheduling half-days for
the Freshmen Orientations dates and balancing out the remaining half days over
July/August).
3. It is helpful for the Administrative Assistant to know when you are going to be in your office
and when you are not available in July and August so they know when you will be
available to meet with students/faculty, sign paperwork, problem solve.
4. Incoming freshmen register for classes on this day.
Advisement Center advisors
assist/advise students on first semester courses based on our 8-semester sequence.
B. Presentation to incoming students at Freshmen Orientation
1. This is a huge tone-setter for their freshman year! This is a time when you can really
outline what students can expect and what we’ll expect from them.
2. Go over the big picture things…general expectations and schedule suggestions, out of
class time management, purchasing supplies & Access to Learning funds, etc.
3. Stay positive in your language and be as welcoming as you can be…these students need
to be reminded that they can come and talk to you after you presentation. I often said that
“I will be hanging out for 10 minutes or so, so please come on up and introduce yourself
or ask more questions”.
4. Students and parents like to see student work and hear stories about successful students.
5. Programs with concentrations: I’d suggest leaving time for Q&A regarding ENTD and
GDINT concentrations. How and when to select concentration, if/when/how they can
change, etc.
Freshman Admissions
17
A. Enrollment management:
1. As Program Director, it is your responsibility to set enrollment targets for the major, for
both incoming freshmen and transfer students. The enrollment targets are sent to the
Admissions Office – Pamela Holsinger-Fuchs, Joel Helms, Linda Young and to the Dean
and the chairs of the SOAD
2. In October, the Admissions Office will expect Program Directors to send enrollment targets
for each program. We usually base any adjustments from year to year on the “show rates”
from the past 2-3 years. Show rates are the percentage of students who accept their
admission, enroll for classes, and are still here on the 10th day of classes. Often, there
are more students who tell us they are coming, than students who actually come to
campus and register for classes.
3. Historically, our show rates have been consistently higher than the university average.
4. These target enrollment numbers assure that students will be served when they arrive
here at UW-Stout. Enrollment targets are the ideal maximum number of students admitted
to each program by the Admissions Office. The School of Art and Design has always
been open to growth, as long as it can be managed in a sustainable manner. Growth,
with our current resources, faculty (FTE) and facilities, needs to plateau until/unless more
resources are made available.

B. Weekly Admissions Reports:
1. Every Monday, Program Directors are emailed “Weekly Admissions Reports”. In these
reports, the numbers of accepted applicants in each program across campus are listed,
for new freshmen, transfer students and re-entry students. The columns are organized
so you can compare your program’s enrollment numbers against the same week in the
previous year. Show rates for the previous year are also listed.
2. Show rates are, again, based on the number of students who actually show up on campus,
enroll in classes, and are here on the 10th day of classes (referred to as the “date of
record”).
C. Applications:
1. All applicants can track their application via Access Stout, once the applicant has
activated their email account. https://www.uwstout.edu/admissions/apply.cfm)

Portfolio Entrance Requirement
BFA in Graphic Design and Interactive Media
This link is the “How to apply” page that incoming freshmen use/see:
http://www.uwstout.edu/admissions/criteria.cfm
“Many applicants to the BFA in Art program will be admitted to the university under the regular
admission review process. Applicants pursuing Art—Graphic Design & Interactive Media must
also submit a portfolio and essay to be reviewed by a committee of Art and Design department
faculty, who will determine admission into the major. Students must submit their portfolio and
essay by March 19, 2014 and will have a decision by late March. The following process applies
to freshmen only.” (Quote from the Admissions website)
http://www.uwstout.edu/admissions/criteria.cfm
A. Students must first be admitted to the university.
B. BFA in Graphic Design and Interactive Media portfolio requirement for freshmen:
(talk about the actual process)
1. The date for the deadline is established with the Admissions Office the spring previous to
the deadline. Preferred consideration will be given to completed portfolios that are
received by the due date. Priority deadline is no later than 4:30 p.m. on the second Monday
of January. Decisions will be made by early February on portfolios received by priority
deadline.
2. All applicants will be notified by mid to late February. Late and incomplete portfolios may
be considered as space permits.
3. Link to BFA in Graphic Design and Interactive Media program:
https://www.uwstout.edu/programs/bfagdim/ap.cfm
4. Students’ admission to the university is separate from their admission to Graphic Design
and Interactive Media. Students get admitted to the university and then apply to, via the
Portfolio Admissions process, the BFA in Graphic Design and Interactive Media. Often,
the number of accepted applicants is much higher than the number of submitted portfolios
for GDINT.
5. TUITION/COSTS: http://www.uwstout.edu/admissions/costs.cfm
20
Transfer Students
A. Enrollment management and admissions of transfer students
Each October, when the enrollment targets are set for new freshmen for the following fall,
the Program Director will also set enrollment targets for incoming transfer students. This
information is sent to the Admissions Office: Pamela Holsinger-Fuchs, Joel Helms and Linda
Young (*transfer coordinator, in particular *), the Dean’s Office and the SOAD Department
chairs. You can refer to past Program Director reports for a history of enrollment targets.
One must also look at the number of graduates from the past year and the number of
incoming freshmen.
The Admissions Office tracks the numbers of incoming transfer in each program very
carefully. Linda Young stays in close contact with the Program Directors as each program
fills up. Enrollment Targets are the ideal maximum number of students admitted to each
program by the Admissions Office.
B. Transfer Student Admissions Requirements
Transfer students must forward official transcripts from all post-secondary institutions to the
Admissions Office. If, at the point of applying, students have not completed a bachelors
degree, it is also necessary to submit your final high school transcripts.
Students are likely to be admitted in good standing if they have a cumulative grade point
average of 2.5 or greater from the last school attended.
C. The Transfer Guide includes a list of information to help transfer students research, plan
and organize their transfer to UW-Stout. CLICK HERE
D. Transferring classes
1. GENERAL EDUCATION: The transfer coordinator, Linda Young, in Admissions Office,
transfers all General Education courses. If students have questions, concerns or want to
lobby for a general education class, direct them to Linda Young.
2. ART, DES, and ARTH COURSES: All art, design and art history courses are brought in
by the Program Director. Courses are reviewed based on course descriptions, syllabi
and/or portfolio reviews.
E. This link is for existing Articulation Agreements. CLICK HERE
F. The Transfer Wizard allows students to calculate how many of their courses will transfer
from a UW or Wisconsin Technical College institution. CLICK HERE
G. Process for Transfer Students
1. Students apply for admission, are accepted or denied and are notified via letter and email.
21
2. Students are responsible for sending Admissions their final transcripts from previous
institution(s).
3. Students are asked to activate their email for further UW-Stout-related correspondence.
4. Linda Young transfers in the student’s General Education courses.
5. Linda Young then sends an email to the student, and copies the Program Director, with
the subject line, “Transfer Credit Report Complete”.
6. This email is your first indication that the student has completed all admissions tasks and
is ready to have their ART/DES/ARTH credits evaluated.
7. Students are directed to contact the Program Director in this email.
8. Program Director forwards this email to Program Office Associate (Mary Jo) so she can
create a ‘file’ for this student and draft an “art memo”.
9. An “art memo” is a transfer equivalency format we complete and send back to Linda
Young. BFA Program Directors, again, determine the art and design equivalencies.
10. Once the art memo is completed, the student is contacted via email (copy Mary
Jo/Program Associate) by the BFA Program Director for a few reasons:
a. Welcome the student.
b. List course recommendations for the fall semester they are entering.
c. Ask student to set up an appointment to conduct a portfolio review – as needed.
d. Provide useful links about the School of Art and Design and the BFA program.
i. School website
ii. Program website
iii. Program plans
iv. General Education course list
11. Keep a paper copy in a file folder, as well as all emails exchanged, (all correspondence)
for each transfer student. It is a clunky process at best, and students do not often read
their emails carefully, so it is best to have a record when students say, “…but you said…”
– or – “… I was never told that…”. With transfer students, this occurs with enough
frequency to warrant a paper trail.
Admissions for Special, Re-entry and non-degree seeking students
22
A. “Special Students” are usually those who are non-degree seeking students.

Independent Studies
Independent Study: A course of study designed by a student and undertaken outside of the
classroom under the supervision of one or more faculty.
GUIDELINES
1. Students seeking independent study credits should secure the Undergraduate
Independent Study Application Form from the office of the College of Art, Humanities and
Social Sciences’ (CAHSS) Associate Dean. GUIDLINES: CLICK HERE
2. Independent Study Application: CLICK HERE
3. The student should then meet with the professor he or she wants to work with. A previous
relationship (having had the instructor before) is an expectation when requesting an
Independent Study.
4. The student and the coordinating faculty complete the form and give it to the Program
Director for review and signature.
5. The form is then returned to the appropriate department chairperson for his/her approval.
6. Finally the appropriate department office sends the signed application form to the CAHSS
Associate Dean for final approval and transmission to the Registrar.
7. Some general guidelines:
 An independent study will not normally be approved for a class that is scheduled during
the same semester.
 It is an advantage to register all independent studies as early in the semester as
possible.
 Complete Section II, A through D, of the Undergraduate Independent Study
Application Form, in enough detail to allow a novice to understand the project.
o The Learning Objectives (B), Methods (C) and Assessment (D) should all tie
together so the expectations are clear in all three areas.
 Each credit should be awarded upon the expending a minimum of approximately 40
hours of work toward the achievement of the stated learning objectives. (A 3-credit
studio class is 90 hours in class.)
 In signing the form, the instructor commits him/herself to working with the student
toward the achievement of the stated learning objectives and to the evaluation of the
experience in light of these objectives.
 In signing the form, the student commits him/herself to achieving and completing the
learning objectives, via the methods proposed, stated on the independent study form.
ASSIGNING COURSE NUMBERS
A. The independent study course number depends on student’s credits.
DES-299=Sophomore
ART-299=Sophomore
DES-399=Junior
ART-399=Junior
DES-499=Senior
ART-499=Senior
Field Experience
25
Field Experience: Students are encouraged to obtain part of their college education off campus
through a field experience, co-op, internship or other approved experiential learning opportunity.
This allows students to receive academic credit for learning related to their major or minor while
employed in an approved, off-campus field position.
Students in any of the BFA majors may substitute the Field Experience credits in their BFA
program, but only with prior approval from their Program Director. The Field Experience option
is mainly utilized by BFA students who agree to participate in a part-time or full-time unpaid
internship, or if a paid internship does not meet the 320 hours requirement criteria.
Most students use their summers to enroll in this program, but part-time work is also permissible
if it fulfills the requirement of employment, 320 hours. This number of hours, however, is flexible
for most majors and is reduced by at least 50 percent for those students volunteering their
services. Most students obtain their own field position, which is part of the educational experience;
however, aids to finding and securing field positions are available through the Career Services
Office. Students may repeat the course for credit, but the experience must be in a different
organization or progressively more advanced in the same organization. The student's field
position and their own individual learning objectives are reviewed and approved by the chairman
of the department offering the course.
ASSIGNING COURSE NUMBERS
Sophomore
DES-297 (1-2cr.)
Junior
DES-397 (1-3cr.)
Senior
DES-497 (1-2cr.)
26
Field Experience Process
1. Students seeking a Field Study should secure the Field Study Application Form from the
Program Office.
2. The student should then meet with the professor he or she wants to work with and complete
the form and give it to the Program Director for review and signature.
3. The form is then given to the appropriate department chairperson for his/her approval.
4. The chairperson adds the section for the term and number of credits indicated on the form.
This course section is generated by chairperson and the SOAD office.
6. Some general guidelines:
 It is an advantage to register all independent studies as early in the semester as possible.
 Each credit should be awarded upon the expending a minimum of approximately 40 hours
of work toward the achievement of the stated learning objectives. (A 3-credit studio class
is 90 hours in class.)
 In signing the form, the instructor commits him/herself to working with the student toward
the achievement of the stated learning objectives and to the evaluation of the experience
in light of these objectives.
 In signing the form, the student commits him/herself to achieving and completing the
learning objectives, via the methods proposed, stated on the independent study form.
Field Experience Form: see APPENDIX A
Co-ops/Internships (Ray Rivera, Career Services)
27
Cooperative Education: A learning approach that integrates college studies with working
experiences in industry, business, government and public service. Under the plan, students leave
campus for three to six months for the rigors and responsibilities of actual employment situations.
The objective is to offer an additional option for learning and to give students a realistic education.

B. Student Expectations, Guidelines, Etc.: CLICK HERE
C. For Credit, Where to Put in Program Plan:
1. Most often, a co-op may be substituted in the Art Studio Selective area, but only if there
is no other DES substitution, and only if the student gets prior approval from their Program
Director.
2. Most students are happy to participate in a co-op for the experience and will just do it
regardless of it fitting into the program plan.

Excess Credit Fee Waiver
28
There are students with excessive credits, whether because they have a first degree, they are a
transfer student, or they have changed their major several times or are a double major. Excessive
credits, as determined by the UW System, is 165 credits, or 30 credits more than required for the
student’s major, as per UW System Excess Credit Fee Policy 02-1.
This waiver form, signed by the Program Director and the Associate Vice Chancellor, provides a
forum for the student to explain their rationale for the excess credits.
Below is a link to the form students would complete.

REPEATING CLASSES
29
Undergraduate Students
Typically, with the exception of internships and co-ops, courses in which you earn a C- or higher
are not repeatable for credit, unless required by the major. If you earned a C, C+, or B and wish
to repeat a course, please obtain a course repeat card, have it signed by your program director,
and return it to the Registration and Records office before the fifth day of class. If you earned a
B+ or higher in a course you cannot, under any circumstances, repeat the course.
The grade given when a course is repeated is used when computing the grade point average.
However, the original grade remains on your transcript.
REPEAT COURSEWORK NOTICE – FINANCIAL AID
New Federal regulations went into effect July 1, 2011 regarding repeating coursework. These
new regulations may affect those students who are receiving financial aid. If a student is retaking
a course for any reason besides trying to improve upon an F grade, student should consult the
Financial Aid Office first, to see if the repeat course will count toward their enrollment status and
if they can receive aid for the course. Due to new federal student loan regulations, students will
only get financial aid for a repeated class if they got a B or below – and I’d encourage students to
confirm with the Financial Aid Office on an individual basis.
The School of Art and Design has many repeatable courses. Because they are repeatable
according to the official curriculum, there should be no problems. NASAD issued a statement to
this effect, in support of repeatable studio courses. The key here is that “topics rotate” in any
repeatable course. The NASAD statement/memo is on the “S” drive.
30
MID-PROGRAM REVIEW PROCEDURES
A. After date-of-record, the Program Office runs a query to find the following:
1.
Printout of Art & Art Ed majors (excluding new transfers), who have
completed 45 crs. and who have not yet had MPR
a. alpha order
b. listing ID#, name, academic level, major/conc., # of credits completed,
e-mail addresses, and advisor.
B. Print class schedules for all students on query list. Check for study-abroad and Co-op course
numbers and delete any students who are off campus from the list.
C. Check high-credit candidates (over 85 credits completed) against the last four
“MPR Completed” lists to ascertain that students were not previously reviewed and listed in
error (this has occurred on occasion).
G. Give candidate list, class schedules, draft of letter, blank MPR schedule forms, and copies of
all documents to MPR Committee chair.
H. From information gathered, the MPR Committee will determine which
students are to be reviewed, taking into consideration students’ current class schedules
and non-art courses (provided). Verify that prior semester’s no-shows, re-reviews and
excused students are included. MPR Committee also assigns faculty review teams.
I.
Schedule informational orientation meeting (approx. 2 weeks prior to review).
Reserve room for meeting.
J. Prepare blank MPR schedule forms and a draft MPR email that will be sent out to all eligible
candidates.
K. Inform candidates via e-mail (cc. Curriculum Committee) about MPR and instructions. Include
date of review, orientation and all necessary documents approved by committee. Email
enclosures:
 Student Self-Assessment Questionnaire
 Courses-Completed Questionnaire
 Artist Statement
 Matting Instructions
This process should be completed at least one month prior to the scheduled
review date so that students to have plenty of time to collect and prepare
their portfolios.
L. Input review schedules and deletions into Excel master document according to
Committee’s hand-written draft. At this point, combine Art and Art Ed lists into one
master document. (Committee should also return students’ class schedules to Program
Office).
M. From Excel master list, prepare individual room schedules (as separate Excel
Doc.).

members with the set-up the rooms. Arrange tables so that it is easy for people
to move through the room and look at work.
Put signs on the doors that the room is set up for MPR and not to disturb.
R.
The day of the MPR, place prepared folders, pencils, and name tags in the rooms
32
Tape highlighted review schedules outside the rooms.
At lunch break, someone should go around and collect the morning reviews
and replenish supplies if necessary. At the end of the review day, pick up the
rest of the paperwork and leave it in the small conference room (AA323K).
S.
The Art Program Office is responsible for copying review packets (faculty eval. sheets)
for future use as tools for “Assessment in the Major”.
Notify the Art Ed program director of that major’s completions, no-shows, & re-reviews.
T.
If the MPR date falls on a date after the beginning of the pre-registration period and
a no-show student has already pre-registered, send letter from the Program Director
with copy to advisor, and “No-Show Questionnaire”.
If a student completed a No-Show Questionnaire during the previous semester
and again was a No-Show again, he/she will not be allowed to register for any
ART/ARTH/DES courses until the MPR requirement has been satisfied the following
semester.
Send letter to this effect to student.
If the student somehow managed to register for art classes anyway, have Registrar
drop him/her.

Changing Major/Minor/Program Plan Year/Advisor
Change of (BFA) Major
A. Application: http://www.uwstout.edu/services/advisement/upload/BFA-Change-of-MajorApplication.pdf
B. Projections, Review Process: The Program Director is responsible for reviewing all change
of major applications and related portfolios. Determining how many one can accept depends on
class rank, what classes they have taken (will they need freshman coursework, for instance?) and
what the SOAD overall enrollment looks like in each program at each level (freshmen, sophomore,
etc.). It is a bit of a puzzle, but is a way to get enrollment up if certain years’ enrollment is down.
Adding and Dropping a (non-BFA) Minor
Students can add and drop non-BFA minors online here:
https://uwstout.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_eRQcAldCBrjo0mw
Art Minor:
You cannot add an Art Minor online. Students can drop it online, but not add it.
The application forms to add an Art Minor must to be submitted to the Art Program Office.
Change of Program Plan Year
The application is in the Program Office files and on the “S” drive.
Students can only change to a more recent program plan and may not change to an older
program plan.
Change of Advisor/Request for New Advisor
Students may request a new/different faculty advisor. There is a short form to fill out in the
Program Office to make this request. The Program Office tries to accommodate requests when
possible, but it is not possible every time.
35
Program Advisory Committee
A. The Program Director Serves as a Chair of This Committee
B. Function of This Committee: CLICK HERE
Function of the Committee:
The committee provides advice and assistance to the program director in matters related to
development of curriculum and on procedural matters for the program.
Program committees meet at least once each semester or more frequently, as the need
arises. Meetings (face-to-face or teleconference) are convened and chaired by the program
director, and minutes of each meeting are furnished to the college dean. The program director
is responsible for keeping the program committee informed of program status. The program
director consults the committee on short- and long-range goals and projections for the
program. Any curricular changes proposed for the program are considered by the committee.
The recommendation of the committee is then presented, along with the program director's
recommendation, and the proposed changes are considered in the college and divisional
curricular processes.
Composition of the Committee
The committee should be composed of members who can provide advice and assistance to
the program director in the development and improvement of that program. Membership may
change as needed for advice and assistance. Such needs may relate to curriculum and
courses, advising of students, program assessment and review, determining projections of
student needs, and prediction of placement and future job markets for graduates.
The committee membership should be broadly based to include both internal and external
stakeholders: faculty and academic staff from across colleges, students, alumni and
employers. Ex-officio representatives from Student Services, Enrollment Services and other
administrative support units may also be included.
Committee members are recommended by the program director and approved by the dean of
the college responsible for the program. Program directors are responsible for notifying
committee members of their appointment. Appointments are effective at the beginning of the
academic year. The term of office is one year; appointments are renewable.
Committee membership is announced at the beginning of each school year by the appropriate
academic dean.

RATIONALE:
The Program Advisory Committee (PAC) for B.F.A.s in Art is made up of one person from each
of the five majors; Amy Fichter (studio art), Noah Norton (industrial design), Shelley Pecha
(interior design & graphic design and interactive media), and Kevin Pontuti (entertainment
design). There are also faculty from other programs on campus which tie in closely, and provide
support for the B.F.A.s in Art program; Ted Bensen (program director, graphic communications
management), Diane Christie (game design & development), Leslie Koepke (human
development and family studies), Julie Peterson (program director, MFA in Design), Peter
37
Schlosser (Apparel & Communication Technologies, Michael Bowman (Construction), Linards
Stradins from Engineering & Technology and Tami Weiss (art education).
Although they are not directly represented in this committee through live members, the art
program office also maintains a Student Advisory Committee (SAC), and the Professional
Advisory Board (PAB). Both of these organizations address issues relative to the department of
art and design, as well as the art program. Meeting minutes are distributed among each of the
three committees and both the SAC, and PAB have the opportunity to propose agenda items to
the program director for consideration of the PAC.
This is done in an effort to keep the committees from becoming too unwieldy, while still
maintaining effective lines of communication between organizations.
38
Professional Advisory Board
The Director of the School of Art and Design serves as a liaison and organizer of the Professional
Advisory Board (PAB) biannual meetings. The Program Directors and Chairperson(s) assist the
Director of the School developing the agenda and developing goals and/or activities to undertake with
the PAB. Professional Advisory Board By-Laws: See APPENDIX B

International Study Abroad
1. Office of International Education: http://www.uwstout.edu/oie/index.cfm
2
When students are preparing to select an institution or preparing to choose courses, it is
the responsibility of the Program Director to offer advisement on course selection.
3. Students should arrive to the Program Director meeting with preliminary work completed
– this includes examining different institutions, finding course lists/descriptions, reviewing
their degree audit so they know what courses they need.
4. Students fill out a Proposal for Transferred Credits form (see Appendix D) when they
apply to their program. Program Directors assign proposed course equivalencies to
international course, with the caveat that courses are not officially transferred in until a
portfolio review deems the coursework appropriate. Completed Proposal for Transferred
Credits forms are copied and sent to the International office of Education AND to Linda
Young in the Admissions Office.
5. Upon a student’s return, and the submission of final transcripts to Linda Young, transfer
coordinator, the Program Director completes an Art Memo to bring back ART/DES/ARTH
courses.
6. General Education or Minor courses are signed off on by the minor advisor and by Linda
Young – we are not responsible for assigning equivalencies for courses other than
ART/DES/ARTH.
Experiential Learning Requirement
The BFA in Graphic Design and Interactive Media and the BFA in Industrial Design have
Experiential Learning requirements (as of 2012-13 academic year). International Study Abroad
meets this requirement (other experiences that meet this requirement are: Co-op, Internship, Field
Experience or other approved opportunity).
42
FERPA
FERPA: Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, or FERPA, was designed by the federal
government to protect the privacy of educational records.
Under this policy, UW-Stout officials are not permitted to give any information to a third party,
including the student's parents and/or guardians, about the student's:


Academic progress, including grades
Personal development or disciplinary matters.
FERPA F.A.Q. - http://www2.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco/faq.html
Program Directors often get emails from parents, and most times, the student has no idea
their parent is contacting a university official. If a parent asks questions like, “why can’t my
son/daughter get into any classes they need” or “my son/daughter is not going to graduate on
time, why is that”, I only reply with information parents could read on the website, and I always
reply to the student with the parent copied, in order to put the student back in the center of the
discussion at hand. I reference program plans, 8-semester sequences, etc. However, I don’t
every say, “your son didn’t take DES-310 until his junior year, and that is why he is behind on
classes”, because that is providing schedule information. Encourage the parent to communicate
with the son/daughter, encourage the student to make an appointment, provide correct, consistent
information.
For Faculty
To avoid violations of FERPA, do not:
 Link the name of a student with that student’s social security number
 Provide anyone with lists of students enrolled in your classes for commercial purposes
 Provide anyone with student schedules or assist anyone other than university
employees in finding a student on campus
Things to Remember…
 Access to Student Information System does NOT authorize unrestricted use of student
data
 Records should be used only in the context of official business in conjunction with the
educational success of the student
 Curiosity does NOT qualify as a legal right to know
 If you are ever in doubt, do not release any information until you contact the Registration
and Records Office
