Transcript Requests

The Office of Registration and Academic Advising is pleased to offer our students and alumni copies of official transcripts regarding their accomplishments here at Maine College of Art & Design.

Transcripts are official documents of the college and as such various offices on campus must approve them before they can be released. We acknowledge that transcript requests are often an important and time sensitive inquiry and so we strive to turn them around in 3–5 business days.

Independent Study & Internships

Independent Study

Wanting to learn about a subject that's unavailable in MECA&D's curriculum? Independent Study allows you to develop a course, working one-on-one with a faculty member to earn academic credit.

Students in the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th year of study, with an overall GPA of 3.0 (B) or above, and no more than one Incomplete pending may apply for an independent study. The student is responsible for creating a proposal and finding a faculty member willing to serve as an instructor or sponsor for the project. An independent study cannot be used to resolve schedule conflicts. This applies to both major and elective courses. An independent study is not available for replacing or making up required courses, e.g. Art History, Foundation courses, etc.

Independent Study Proposal Requirements

Internships

Internship opportunities are available for academic credit, with credits applied toward Studio Elective requirements. Students may pursue Internships during the academic year or over the summer.
