Student interviews for next year’s Practicum class will take place in early April. These interviews are conducted to adjudicate in advance whether the necessary prerequisites for the course to date are in place as well as provide students with individual feedback regarding the course and their current preparedness to meet its requirements.
These sessions will be 15 minutes each and will be conducted by two studio instructors in the department. Sign up sheets indicating a schedule of times and the place of these sessions will be available in the main office in late March (dates TBA).
There will be a Practicum Information Session concerning the course and the interview process in late March (dates TBA).
Students should come prepared to bring to the interview the following:
A printed transcript of grades in courses taken to date (Practicum requires VAS or VAH 380 or VAS 381, two 300 level studio courses, and a 70% average in all studio courses to date). Transcripts are downloadable from U.W.O. website.

- you may include if you wish a separate resume (do not include resume
