After a student is accepted, transfer evaluators review transcripts to determine which classes have the potential to transfer to SCAD. Once the review is completed, students are mailed the transcript evaluation and a letter detailing the results of the review. Credit may also be given for appropriate AP, CAPE, DSST or CLEP scores. SCAD also has policies to award credit based on A-level and International Baccalaureate grades.
The Savannah College of Art and Design has signed transfer articulation agreements with several community colleges. Students complete specific associate degrees at their respective colleges and transfer into SCAD with advanced standing as a Bachelor of Fine Arts or Bachelor of Arts candidate.
