Completed application forms should be sent to: SCI-Arc Admissions Office 960 East 3rd Street Los Angeles, California 90013 T: 213.613.2200 x320 admissions@sciarc.edu
Application materials:
Notification of acceptance Graduate applicants will be notified of their admission status by mail in late March; undergraduate applicants will be notified on a rolling basis between the months of March and June. Students who accept SCI-Arc’s offer of admission are required to submit a non-refundable deposit of $500 which reserves them a place in the entering class. This deposit is applied toward tuition for their first semester at SCI-Arc. (International students are required to submit an additional tuition deposit in order to begin the I-20 process. Refer to the International Student Handbook for more information.) If the enrollment deposit is not received by the appropriate deadline, the applicant may forfeit their place in the entering class. Waiting list placement Applicants placed on the waiting list will be notified as positions become available in the entering class. Portfolios belonging to applicants on the waiting list may need to be retained after the notification date for admission purposes. Admission deferment Admission deferments are granted on a case-by-case basis for up to one year (two terms). Applicants must petition the school in writing to defer their admission. Petitions are reviewed by the Admissions Committee and the applicant receives written notification of the decision. If an applicant fails to enroll in the following year, he or she must reapply for admission. Admission appeals Applicants who wish to appeal an admission decision or studio placement must make their requests in writing. Appeals should be addressed to the Admissions Committee and should include applicable support materials (additional portfolio work and/or an additional letter of recommendation, résumé, etc). Appeals are reviewed by the Admissions Committee and may require a personal interview with one or more committee member. The applicant receives written notification of the decision. Reapplication for admission Reapplication within one year: Accepted students who have paid their deposit and who have not deferred, and former students who did not receive an authorized leave of absence, must submit the following when reapplying:
Reapplication after one year: If an applicant wishes to reapply for admission after one year of absence from the program, he or she must resubmit all application materials specified for the initial application. |
