The Savannah College of Art and Design was founded in 1978 and is headquartered in Savannah, Georgia. The college offers a number of degree and certificate programs in the arts, including graphic design, film production, animation and architecture. Transferring to SCAD is a straightforward process, and can be done at any point throughout the year.
Instructions
1. Apply for admission as soon as you make your decision to transfer to SCAD. Applications are accepted year round, but in order to be considered for a scholarship your materials need to be submitted early. March 15 is the deadline for fall admission scholarship consideration and December 1 is the deadline for the winter.
2. Go to the Savannah College of Art and Design website, scad.edu, and click "Apply" on the main screen.
3. Click the blue "Apply Now" link under the heading "Transfer Student."
4. Fill out the application form. It is displayed in a pop-up window, so you may need to set your computer to temporarily allow pop-ups. The form consists of six pages of questions about your personal details, educational background and preferred course of study.
5. Enter your credit card information to pay the $35 non-refundable fee and submit your application online. For a processing fee of $70, you may print out the application and send it by mail.
6. Request an official transcript from each of the colleges or universities you attended. Some institutions charge for this service. Have each college mail your transcript directly to the SCAD Admission Department at P.O. Box 77300, Atlanta, GA 30357.
7. Demonstrate proficiency in English if you are not a native English speaker. This can be done by mailing the admissions department an official test score from one of the following exams: Test of English as a Foreign Language, Scholastic Aptitude Test, International English Language Test or the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages Exam.
8. Submit an official certification of your personal funds and sources of income if you are an international student. This document is necessary to secure a visa.
9. Mail supplementary materials to the admissions department if you would like to be considered for a scholarship. No other materials are required to apply to SCAD, but supplementary evidence of your skills and performance may enhance your application and increase your chances of obtaining a scholarship. Supporting materials like your portfolio, recommendations, statement of purpose and resume should be mailed to the admissions department soon after you submit your application.
10. Advise your current university that you will be leaving at the end of the semester. If necessary, apply for financial aid for SCAD and secure housing for the coming semester.
