  •  In Spring 2016 the Studio Arts FDRG revised the manner in which certain descriptors are included in the Studio Arts TMC by allowing for Articulation Agreement by Major (AAM) for the following descriptors: ARTS 220, ARTS 230,  ARTS 240,  ARTS 260,  ARTS 280,  ARTS 281,  and ARTS 282. Colleges that already received C-ID approval can continue to use the descriptors on their ADT degree, while allowing for AAM on the TMC for those without C-ID approval. As a result of this revision C-ID no longer accepts submissions for the descriptors.
