Intercollege Transfer


Intercollege transfer is the process of transferring from one College to another within the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Intercollege transfers to the School of Art + Design are generally placed in the Art Foundation curriculum. To be considered, submit your portfolio using the School's Fall 2010 Intercollege Transfer Portfolio Submission Form. If you encounter problems with the form or have questions, contact Mark Avery at mavery@illinois.edu or 217-333-6632.

The portfolio is a collection of your recent work that illustrates your ability for advanced study as an art and design practitioner, educator or historian. It should demonstrate your ability to create and communicate ideas visually using various mediums and technical processes. The portfolio should consist of 10 examples of your recent work. Examples of work could include: drawings, paintings, ceramics, jewelry/metals, sculpture, textiles, photographs, digital artwork, designs (product and other objects), and video. Work illustrating proficiency in a variety of mediums is encouraged. Drawings from real life observation are preferable to those copied from photographs or other images. These drawings can be exploratory, i.e. spontaneous or more finished.

Portfolio Submission Guidelines:

  • 10 required JPEG images, each of which is no larger than 2048x2048 and 500KB in size
  • Up to 2 movies (optional), each of which can be played with VideoLAN Client. No movie file should be longer than 1 minute in length and 50MB in size
