Academic Advising
All Art and Art History majors are required to meet with the
Academic Advisor in the Department of Art and Art History each
semester.  Students will not be able to register for any course at
UNC Charlotte without attending the mandatory advising
meetings. The Academic Advisor is available year-round.

Career mentoring in studio, art history, and art education is

offered by individual faculty members who are active
professionals in those areas of study. Contact is best done by
email or telephone. Most professors are available for
appointments from the first day of classes until the last day of
classes each Fall and Spring semester.  Requirements for degrees
and minors, as well as 4-year B.F.A. calendars, are available in the
Department of Art and Art History office and online at
art.uncc.edu.

Students seeking to confirm that General Education graduation

requirements are met should use the automated CAPP Degree
Evaluation system online in My UNC Charlotte.  Those seeking
confirmation of Art requirements must contact the Academic
Advisor.
