Sample Transfer Evaluations for students from the following US schools are available in the Team Room:<br />
• Three Rivers Community College, CT—Associates in Architectural Design Technology <strong>Program</strong><br />
• Penn State University, Syracuse University, Monroe Community College, NY<br />
• University <strong>of</strong> Oklahoma BS in Environmental Design, Cape Code Community College<br />
• SUNY Morrisville, Suffolk County Community College, NY<br />
• University <strong>of</strong> Nebraska BS in Design-Architectural Studies, Southeast Community College<br />
• University <strong>of</strong> Colorado Boulder, BS in Environmental Design<br />
We are at work on several articulation agreements with 2 and 4 year colleges that will streamline and<br />
improve our awareness <strong>of</strong> student work in courses at the other institutions, but these agreements do not<br />
replace the need to complete SPC at <strong>Roger</strong> <strong>Williams</strong> University. Articulation Agreements already in place<br />
include:<br />
• Bristol Community College, Massachusetts<br />
• Community College <strong>of</strong> Rhode Island<br />
External Candidates: <strong>Architecture</strong> Transfer Students and Graduate Students from NAAB-Accredited<br />
<strong>Program</strong>s<br />
Evaluation <strong>of</strong> transfer and graduate applicants from NAAB-Accredited <strong>Program</strong>s is similar to above, with<br />
the exception that, if possible, we also utilize the SPC <strong>Program</strong> Matrix from the previous school, working<br />
together with the program leaders <strong>of</strong> the other school to confirm coverage in some instances. Sample<br />
Transfer Evaluations from the following schools are available in the Team Room.<br />
• Northeastern University, Academy <strong>of</strong> Art College<br />
• Wentworth Institute <strong>of</strong> Technology (utilized <strong>Program</strong> Matrix)<br />
International Students are evaluated on the basis <strong>of</strong> their portfolios submitted, and reliance on information<br />
provided by the World Educational Services and other agencies regarding equivalencies with US<br />
educational standards. Given NAAB’s efforts to have programs indicate only 1-2 places where Student<br />
Performance Criteria are met, where NAAB SPC’s are completed earlier in the program for <strong>Roger</strong><br />
<strong>Williams</strong> University dual degree students, international students are required to complete advanced level<br />
coursework in some cased beyond our <strong>Program</strong> Matrix in order to fulfill Student Performance Criteria.<br />
This is outlined to these students on a <strong>Roger</strong> <strong>Williams</strong> University Student Performance Criteria form in<br />
each student’s advisement folder. Sample International Student Transfer Evaluations from the following<br />
schools are available in the Team Room:<br />
• King Saud University, Saudi Arabia<br />
• University <strong>of</strong> Applied Sciences, Berlin, Germany<br />
• Hefei University <strong>of</strong> Technology, China<br />
Advanced Standing<br />
Advanced Standing is considered in one instance to date. Given changes in entering student computing<br />
abilities, Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Roseann Evans has developed a Waiver Exam format for Arch 287 Intro to Computer<br />
Applications in <strong>Architecture</strong>, where if students demonstrate pr<strong>of</strong>iciency in the Student Performance<br />
Criteria for the course, they are waived from the requirement. To date three students have achieved a<br />
waiver in the course.
