Q: Hi there! If I am about to enter my senior year in high school, and I want to enter SCAD during the fall of 2013, when would be the best time to send my application in? I know that SCAD is on rolling admissions, but I'd like to enroll with a whole new batch of students, fresh out of high school just like me. Thank you!

You’re welcome to begin your application this summer! It’s a great idea to get started with an admission counselor early. You can send your transcript and ACT or SAT scores this summer if you’d like, or you can wait to send them after the fall semester is over.
Rolling admission means that we don’t have a strict deadline, but it’s a great idea to try to send all of your materials at least 6 months in advance for the best scholarship opportunities. This would mean turning everything in by March 2013, but you can submit earlier if you would like. We will review for admission and scholarships as soon as all of the required materials are received.

Q: I'm considering transferring to SCAD to study photography, but I would need a lot of scholarship. What kind of photography should I include in my portfolio to increase my chances of getting more money?

First, remember that your portfolio as an undergraduate student does not need to match your intended major. Always make sure to submit your very best work, even if it is from a different discipline.
You can always find portfolio guidelines at www.scad.edu/portfolio. There is a really good Portfolio Preparation Brochure linked on that page that explains exactly what the portfolio review committee will be looking for.

Q: If you are a transfer student what kind of gpa should you have?
Anonymous
We give admission preference to students with a GPA of 3.0 and above. If your GPA is lower, you can enhance your application with supplementary materials like letters of recommendation, a statement of purpose essay, and a resume.

Q: I will be attending the SCAD Summer Seminars this summer, the last week in June at the Savannah location. Will supplies for my two classes be provided or will i get a list of what to bring?

Most of the workshop supplies will be provided. You will receive a list of items to bring from home such as magazine clippings and music, as well as dorm items and appropriate clothing, like comfortable walking shoes.

Q: For the final dinner and show at SCAD Summer Seminars, should students dress up?
Anonymous
I would recommend bringing something nicer to wear for the final exhibition. There will only be a dessert reception, not dinner.

Q: Hello! I'm an international student who will be attending to SCAD this fall! I'm planning to live on-campus. If when there's a break between semesters, do I need to leave my room during the break? I just want to avoid flight back to my country :-/ It will cost a lot as I'm from Asia. Thanks!!

Here is what our housing policies say:
During winter break, all residence halls are closed and occupancy is limited. The academic calendar lists annual dates of winter break. Students may leave their belongings in their rooms; however, they are encouraged to take their valuables home. In Atlanta and Savannah, students who need housing over the winter break period have the option to stay on campus by paying the winter break housing rate. Only a limited amount of space is available and students will be required to pay the housing rate and sign an addendum during the fall quarter.
The halls remain open during spring break, but overnight guests are not permitted. Move-out dates fall at the end of the academic year in May and at the end of the summer quarter in August.

You might be interested in fashion marketing and management:
SCAD fashion marketing and management students work on projects with real clients such as launching a new handbag for Yves Saint Laurent Asia and collaborating with other SCAD departments to develop a new flagship store for United Colors of Benetton.
Working with real clients allows students to put into practice in the field the theory they learn in the classroom. Operations, planning, purchasing, advertising, trend forecasting, product promotion, visual design, retailing, sourcing and product development are all covered in the curriculum while students work with clients and explore the rich resources available at SCAD.
