Advisement

The College of Fine Arts provides undergraduate students with advisement services. The Advisement Center is staffed by one full-time Fine Arts advisor and departmental faculty advisors who advise on a part-time basis. Appointments are required.

Advisement is required for freshmen and transfer students before registration. For Art Studio transfer students, a portfolio is required for placement in the program. Music transfer students are required to take the theory placement exam and to audition on their instrument or in voice. Transfers into the Theatre and Dance programs are required to audition for placement.

Advisement is an important aspect of your education at UNM. In order to use your time and energy wisely and efficiently, it is of the utmost importance to meet with the Fine Arts advisor or the faculty advisor each semester. The academic advisor will inform you about the degree programs available in the College of Fine Arts, which courses are the best to take for your degree, the latest changes in degree requirements, and how to plan your program to make the most of your education at UNM. The advisor is here to answer your questions, to make suggestions, and to assist you as much as possible. (See Advisors.)

It is the student's responsibility to know and understand the requirements for the degree and graduation. The Advisement Center functions to help students learn about the degrees available in the College of Fine Arts and to help them understand the core curriculum, major course requirements, and college and UNM graduation requirements. Although the requirements are listed here and in the UNM Catalog, many of the degrees in Fine arts are complex. You may need further explanation, which the advisors can provide. Along with information, the Fine Arts advisor can provide degree planning sheets. Faculty advisors can answer your questions about the field you have chosen to study and career paths you may pursue. Advisors also can help you to understand the importance of the required courses in the discipline you have chosen.
