Special Nomenclature

Enrollment Process

You will be able to access the QUT online enrollment portal using your username and password located in your previously emailed QUT Offer Letter. You are only able to enroll in courses listed as approved in your QUT Offer Letter. Through this online portal you will be able to finalize your enrollments and timetable.

The academic preferences form students submit to Arcadia prior to departure does not guarantee approval or enrollment in those courses. There is a drop/add period at the beginning of each semester that allows students to make changes to course enrollments. If you make any changes it is your responsibility to inform your home institution.

Be sure to bring an updated copy of your official transcript, your passport and COE with you to orientation sessions.

Miscellaneous

Possible additional fees for courses that include laboratory work, field excursions or theater trips. Many fine art or production courses will include a supplemental fee.

For studio art, graphic art, art media production, drama, dancing or music courses, you will need to submit a portfolio or audition tape to support your application. Submit a portfolio or audition tape on slides or a CD. Submit between 8-12 examples of your work. Portfolio is non-returnable.
