Architecture Program Report Tulane University New Orleans ...

Special Student
Students aged twenty-two and over who are nontraditional (non-degree
seeking) applicants may be considered for admission to the School of
Architecture as special students. Although special students must meet
the same standard of work as regular students, they are not required to
follow degree programs. When course enrollments are limited, regular
students must be accommodated before special students.
Students enrolled in good standing at other accredited institutions may
enroll for one or two semesters as guest students. Guest students must
have the approval of their dean or advisor at their home school, and are
subject to the same regulations as non-degree special students.
PRIVATE STUDENT PROGRESS EVALUATION tc \l 4 "1a.
STUDENT PROGRESS EVALUATION "
Student progress is monitored in several ways; through academic
(faculty) advising, written studio evaluations, the second-year portfolio
review, performance evaluation in the required comprehensive studios,
the oversight of the Director of Academic Affairs, grading (‘quality of work
requirements’), and career advising.
Academic (Faculty) Advising
Students meet with their Advisors at least once a semester, for degree
progress audits, short and long-term academic program planning, and
information on course prerequisites, sequence of courses, and other
requirements defined in this catalogue. A particularly important
consideration is the positioning and content of a student's elective
coursework, in order to insure a well-rounded program of liberal arts
study. Advisors also counsel students are career planning, professional
specialties and job placement.
Students also consult periodically with the school's Associate Dean on all
matters concerning their academic performance and degree progress.
Any student may contact the Dean's office at any time for information on
these matters or for special arrangements regarding their program of
study. As well, students may at times need to discuss the fit between
their personal and academic life; students are encouraged to bring these
concerns to their Advisor, the Dean, any faculty member and/or the
Academic Advising Office, which has a dedicated advisor for all
architecture students. Such matters are also addressed by other
professional services available on campus, such as the Educational
Resources Center.
