Please follow these instructions to make 8th Term Review as effective as possible.
Please note that you will be notified when dates and times are confirmed. At that point you will be able to reserve a slot using the link on the right.
8th term review is a meeting with the Associate Chair, during which we look at your overall growth as a student, artist, and professional - and is MANDATORY for graduation. Please be ON TIME!
What’s important to us is that we see how you progressed through the track. Is there a clear upward trend in the quality and originality of your work? We also are interested in seeing your passion and what it is you want to do as an animation professional.
Check your degree audit — you can only do the 8th term review if you have taken and passed all the required Animation track classes in 1st-7th term AND are taking all the classes in 8th term preparing to graduate. Please inform us NOW if you haven’t fulfilled this requirement.
After you have organized your work that you plan to show at Grad Show and/or use for your professional portfolio/website, send a shared Google folder or Website link to Natalie.Williams@ArtCenter.edu ASAP.
If it’s a Google folder, make sure the sharing settings are set to “Anyone with a link can view.” - DO NOT put a specific email to collaborate, only the Sharing Link set to Anyone can View.
IMPORTANT: you need to fill out and add to your folder your current Degree Audit. - View “Degree Audit” link on the right for step by step instructions.
To download your Degree Audit, go to inside.artcenter.edu > Academics tab > under Enrollment column click “Degree Planning/Registration” > Click “Go to My Progress” in the box that says “View Your Progress” > Click the “Print” button on the right > Choose “Save as PDF” then click Print and save it labeled with your name and ID number.
