CraftSummer workshops may be taken for credit or non-credit.

Use the Credit registration form if you want to receive college credit for your workshop(s).

Use the Non-Credit registration form if you do not want to receive credit.

Use the Non-Credit registration form if you wish to receiving Continuing Education Units.

Credit

Under the credit option, all CraftSummer participants who successfully complete a workshop will receive the following college credit: 1.5 semester hours for a weeklong class or 1 semester hour for a weekend class. You may choose between undergraduate or graduate credit.

Credit with the No Grade Option

The intent of the No Grade Option is for those who DO wish to accumulate credit hours, but are not concerned about grades (since these classes are not figured in your GPA). Checking the No Grade Option box on the registration form signals the registrar to employ a grading variance. If you take an undergraduate course using the No Grade option, you receive credit for a grade of C or better; if your grade is C- or less, no credit is awarded. At the graduate level, a grade of B or higher is required to receive credit. Please remember the No Grade Option has no bearing on fees. All workshops require full participation. Audit status is not permitted.

Do not check the No Grade Option on the registration form if credit is to be applied toward a degree or if credit is to be transferred to another institution. The No Grade Option cannot be changed after the first half-day of a workshop.

Undergraduate Credit: ART499
The minimum requirement for workshop registration at the undergraduate level is a high school diploma or equivalent experience. Workshop credit earned at this level can be applied toward Associate or Baccalaureate degrees. Miami majors in the Department of Art's BFA and BS degree programs may not substitute CraftSummer workshops for required studios in their declared concentrations or for specific studio experiences required for teacher certification. However, workshop credit may be used for any of the studio or art elective areas designated in these degree programs.

Graduate Credit: ART599

If you would like to earn graduate credit for a workshop you must be admitted to the Graduate School, applying for either the Continuing Non-Degree Graduate Standing or credit in a Graduate Degree Program. First select the type of graduate credit you wish to receive:

• Continuing Non-Degree Graduate Standing (CGS). The CraftSummer registration form may be used to apply for CGS. You must submit a one-time application fee of $15 and provide information regarding the highest degree earned. If you later apply for a degree program, you will be asked to provide official transcripts at that time. Please be advised that only eight (8) graduate credit hours acquired in the non-degree status can count toward a graduate degree at Miami.
• Graduate Degree Program. If you wish to apply to a Miami University graduate degree program, you must request an official application. If you have questions about this process please contact the Graduate School at 102 Roudebush Hall, Miami University, Oxford, OH 45056, 513/529-4125.
• Don't forget to add $15.00 graduate application fee to the total if you are applying for CGS for the first time.

Non-credit

This option eliminates out of state tuition for both weeklong and weekend classes. It also lowers the cost of workshops being taken solely for artistic enrichment.

College credit is not given when choosing this option.

Continuing Education Units

If you're taking a CraftSummer class for non-credit, you may elect to receive Continuing Education Units.The Continuing Education Unit (CEU) is a nationally recognized method of quantifying the time spent in the classroom during professional development and training activities. The primary purpose of the CEU is to provide a permanent record of the educational accomplishments of an individual who has completed significant non-credit educational and career enhancement experiences.

Miami University will award 1.7 CEUs for a weekend class and 3.5 CEUs for a weeklong class.
