#program reqs and transcripts

Hi this might be a odd question. But im out of highschool for awhile now and I applied for animation this year, got rejected due to portfolio score. When i clicked on "view outstanding requirements" i have every item completed expect for have a min avg 65% as "outstanding" I don't know how that's possible since my high school avg was 80% Will that effect my acceptance, and anyone know why it still says its "outstanding?"

It may affect your score. If you apply again and it still says outstanding, you may have to call the office of the registrar and see that it’s fixed. This time, it may just be because you got rejected for the portfolio that they didn’t bother to check for your average, as the portfolio comes first.

I got firm admit for my portfolio but if were to say fail at class right now, would I lose my spot in animation or does that only apply to conditional offers.

If it brings your grade down below 65%, yes, you would lose the spot. But the reason they gave you a firm admit is because they believe that if you continue getting the marks you’re currently getting, you shouldn’t have to worry about it. Basically, don’t quit a class just because you got accepted. Being a good student is important, too.

If I don't have all the required grades, but still hand in a portfolio is there still a possibility that I might still be accepted?

I don’t think so, but maybe you should call the school!

Lets say i pass my portfolio, had a 80%+ average in secondary school, but in uni this year gets an average slightly below 65%. Would you guys know if i will still be accepted to the program?

I think they only care about your current marks.

There may be something you can do to still be accepted, I’m not sure, I would call the school

If you're coming out of HS, they look at the avg of your top 6 marks right? Is it the same if you're coming from a post secondary institution? They look at the top 6 marks from your last two semesters in class?

it says minimum 65% average. That means the average in all your courses. And if you’re coming from post secondary, you also need a minimum 65% overall average. I would take a look at the school website: https://academics.sheridancollege.ca/programs/bachelor-of-animation/admission-requirements

Hi there! I'm applying from Alberta, and I just wanted to find out exactly how I would be sending in all my other paperwork besides the actual portfolio itself, i.e the transcripts and diplomas and what not. ALSO: Is there any way to take part in the portfolio assessment without being there in person, in case I don't wanna have to buy a ticket to Ontario just for that purpose, maybe like through Skype or something. Thanks in advanced!

I think all transcripts go through ontario colleges. I never had to send in transcripts directly to the school, altho I applied straight from high school, so this may be different if you are not doing that. Also, if you are mailing in your portfolio, you don’t need to personally be there for the portfolio assessment.

Hello, I'm interested in attending Sheridan in fall 2018. I meet the basic requirements where high school is concerned, however I spent a year and a half at a post secondary institution but didn't do so well academically. I was hoping that my portfolio would be good enough to overshadow that fact. My question is do they only ask for your portfolio if your GPA meets the requirement? Or do they ask for it after you apply which means there would be hope for people like me?

Your portfolio comes first. Then they look at your GPA. If it meets the requirements and the portfolio gets accepted, you will get in. If you don’t meet the requirements academically and your portfolio gets accepted, you should get a conditional offer, meaning if you improve by the time your school is over, then you should get in. As long as you meet the lowest requirements you should be fine.

i dont have any senior level visual arts courses under my belt... will sheridan bother to look at my portfolio if I send one in? Im not sure if I understood what that particular requirement meant

They may look at your portfolio, but you won’t get in even if you have a good portfolio unless you fulfill the requirements by the end of your second semester. (I’m not sure about summer courses, though.)
