    interplay 6-9 october 04 minneapolis Welcome to Minneapolis and to the Mid America College Art Association biennial conference “Interplay”. Mid America was founded in 1936 by practicing artists and its focus since then has been on art making and communication about art making on the college and university level. Its organizational structure is simple: it depends on the support of artists to volunteer and keep the biennial meetings going. We welcome all those who would like to be involved to become involved. Like every self-run democratic organization, MACAA depends upon the next generation of artists to pick up the banner and move it forward according to their vision. Contact any MACAA Board Member to find out how to become involved or attend the MACAA meeting during the 2005 CAA conference in Atlanta. At this writing we have not identified a site for the 2006 conference; I hope to be able to announce it during the conference. Thanks to everyone who submitted proposals, chaired a panel, gave a presentation, and volunteered their time. I am most grateful to all of the sponsoring and participating organizations that donated time, talent, and resources. Thanks are due to Professor Mo Neal, University of Nebraska [past president of MACAA, 2000- 2002] for the smooth transition and for directing the conference hosted by Nebraska in 2002. Thanks also to Professor Mark Pharis, past chair of the University of Minnesota’s Department of Art [1998-2004] for his encouragement and support of the conference during the past two years. University of Minnesota Art faculty members Jan Estep, Brenda Linden, and Melanie Van Houten joined me on an internal steering committee and I thank them for working hard to make the conference a success.

Consistently, 90-97% of the students who request credit recognition for their University of Minnesota credits earned through CIS are successful. Credits earned through CIS are recognized by postsecondary institutions coast to coast. This list of colleges and universities recognizing University of Minnesota credit earned through CIS is NOT definitive! Keep in mind these facts when you review the list: The fact that a college or university does not appear on this list does not necessarily mean it does not recognize U of M credit earned through CIS. It may mean that no former CIS student has attended that college or no former CIS student attending that college has completed a CIS survey. This list does not represent a guarantee that all U of M credits earned through CIS will be automatically recognized by every college or university listed. Recognition of credit may vary from department to department within the same university or college. We encourage students to save the syllabi and written work from their CIS courses, and to request credit recognition directly from the appropriate department at the college or university to which they are applying. Please note that recognition of U of M credits can take one of three forms: (1.) credit transfer of credits earned; (2.) exemption from a required course because a comparable course was successfully completed through CIS; and (3.) placement in an advanced course because the introductory level course was successfully completed through CIS.
