Admission Requirements
Participation in the Drawing and Painting Certificate Program is open to anyone with an interest in those topics.
English Proficiency: Students who are non-native English speakers are expected to have adequate English language proficiency. For details, see English Language Guidelines.
International Students: This program does not qualify as full-time study, and therefore does not meet requirements for an F-1 visa. However, if you are an F-1 student currently enrolled full-time in another program, OR you are in the U.S. on some other type of visa (not F-1), you may be eligible to take a certificate program or course. For complete details, or to contact an adviser, see Visa Information.
Earning the Certificate
Participants are evaluated in each course on the basis of standards established by the advisory board and instructors. At the end of each course, participants are notified of successful or unsuccessful completion. Because courses are arranged sequentially, participants need to successfully complete each course in the previous term before they advance to the next term. When the required courses are completed in this noncredit program, participants earn nine Continuing Education Units (CEUs) and a certificate, which is presented at the annual UW Extension awards ceremony.
