How to apply

Admissions requirements for Studio Arts programs.

Step 2: Create your portfolio  

Remember!

  • You must apply online before submitting a portfolio, you need a valid Concordia ID to do so.
  • Are you applying to more than one Studio Arts choice (e.g. Studio Arts and Photography)? You must submit a separate portfolio for each.
  • Are you are applying to more than one Fine Arts program (e.g. Intermedia and Design)? You must submit a separate portfolio for each program; we do not share portfolios between departments.

All portfolios must be submitted through the department's web application (Slideroom). You may not submit your portfolio via email or through other websites.

The Department reserves the right to refuse any portfolios that do not conform to the guidelines.
