New GPA Min for Art Dept. Students
Students beginning WSU study in the Fall semester 2007 will be required to carry an overall 2.75 GPA to remain an Art, Art History or Design and Merchandising Major.  This change will not affect students currently in the program.
Declared your major yet?
All students that have not declared their major by 60 credit hours will have a hold placed on their record removable only when a major is declared.  To declare your major, start with the University Advising Office.  They will give you an academic audit, tell them you would like to declare your major and they proceed to the main art office.  If a hold exists you will need to go to the College of Fine, Performing and Communication Arts Dean's Office in the Linsell House across from the UGL.  This is real.  Don't let it keep you from getting into classes this fall.
WSU Student Exhibition
The opening for the WSU Student Exhibition in the Community Arts Gallery will be Friday, April 13 from 5-8 pm.  Click here for the Loan Agreement.
