EDM Advisors will meet with you during their office hours, to advise you about courses you are required to take, to help you plan your curriculum, to evaluate your portfolio or transfer credits, to discuss independent study or internships and to do Grad Checks when you're preparing your paperwork for graduation.
If you entered the college as of FA05 or later as a BA student you will be advised by any Art Department faculty member.
If you apply for the BFA and are accepted, you will be advised by EDM faculty. Or, if you entered before FA05 and are a BA student following the EDM area specialization, an EDM faculty member will advise you.
If you are a Transfer student, you will be advised by any Art Department faculty member, until the semester you apply for the BFA.
The schedule for Advisors is posted on the door of M152, and you can also download it from this website. Download the Advisor Schedule

Students in the BFA program have the Major Code of EDM; students in the BA have the 111 code.

EDM has a minimum 2.5 GPA requirement. A student must maintain a minimum 2.5 GPA in order to take EDM classes. Students will not be allowed to register for courses until their GPA is brought up to the minimum requirement.
CCNY has an Articulation agreement with BMCC. Download the BMCC articulation. You also may be eligible for transfer credits for courses that have been added since the articulation was signed.
Independent Study is awarded for internships, for special creative projects proposed once students have completed required courses, and for students doing Lab Monitor assignments. The Independent Study form must be completed and include a full project description before your register for an Independent Study course.
Make three copies of the form and have it signed by your Independent Study mentor. One copy goes to the Art Department, one to EDM, and one goes with you to registration.

Program sheets are required by the College before a student can file for graduation. The program sheet lists all of the completed requirements and must be signed by a Professor. You can save time by printing an unofficial transcript and filling out the form yourself, before you meet with your advisor.

Grad Checks are not done during registration or during the first three weeks of the semester.
