 Applications: All applications for fall semester graduate
 admission, including official transcripts, GRE scores, and
 TOEFL scores, if necessary, must be received by the Office of
 the Registrar by February 1. In addition to satisfying University
 requirements for admission, applicants are required to submit
 to the Graduate Program Assistant, School of Architecture, 231
 ARCH, Box 115702, the following: a portfolio of their creative
 work; a scholarly statement of intent and objectives; and three
 letters of recommendation. This material must be received
 by February 1 to be considered for admission in the next fall
 semester. (Portfolio must be accompanied by self-addressed,
 stamped envelope.) Students may apply after the February 1
 deadline but will only be considered if spaces become available.
 (Updates of portfolios are accepted after February 1; however,
 applications will not be considered until they are complete.)
 The School reserves the right to retain student work for
 purposes of record, exhibition, or instruction. Field trips are
 required of all students; students should plan to have adequate
 funds available. It may be necessary to assess studio fees to defray
 costs of base maps and other generally used materials.
 The following courses are taught on a periodic schedule or by
 demand only.
