Applying to Pass Degree Milestone requirement (second year) is competitive and limited by available resources. Selection 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 pass degree milestone must also submit an application for admission to the university. Students that do not pass the degree milestone are not dismissed from the college and may reapply the following year or transfer to other programs. Students who plan to reapply should plan to contact a college academic advisor. Transfers into programs are considered only on a space available basis, and such, transfers are limited to students with equivalent course work who are competitive with continuing students.
