APPLYING TO UPPER DIVISION – Admission to Third Year

Available as a Printable PDF

For students that have completed (or are currently enrolled) in ALA / PUP 100, PUP 190, PUP 200, and PUP 301

Admission to upper-division programs (third year) is competitive and limited by available resources.  Admission is awarded to those applicants demonstrating the highest promise for professional success.  Students applying to more than one degree program in the College of Design must submit a separate application and portfolio (if required) to each program.  Students not enrolled at ASU when they apply to upper-division programs must also submit an application for admission to the university.  Lower-division students not admitted to an upper-division program are not dismissed from the college and may reapply or transfer to other programs.  Students that are not admitted this fall to upper division that plan to reapply in spring 2009 are to contact the director or chairperson of the program they are reapplying to.  Transfers into upper-division programs are considered on a space available basis, and such transfers are limited to students with equivalent course work who are competitive with continuing students.
