The University Since its founding in 1867, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has earned an international reputation for its distinguished faculty, outstanding resources and academic programs, and broad research capabilities. Graduate study is offered in more than 150 disciplines, and enrollment includes 9,000 graduate and professional students from every state and from over 100 foreign countries. The University attracts more than $200 million per year in private, state, and federal research grants and contract appropriations. Academic resources are among the finest in the world. Along with those of Harvard and Yale, the University Library ranks among the three largest academic collections in the nation. Its computerized catalog provides easy access to more than 12 million items housed in the Main Library and thirty-eight departmental libraries campus-wide. The Department The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign was among the first institutions in the nation to offer an educational program in landscape architecture, with a degree program in place by 1907. Today, the Department of Landscape Architecture sponsors one of the leading graduate-level academic and research programs in the country. The first professional MLA degree program is fully accredited. An accredited BLA program and a PhD program are also offered. The Department has produced some of the best-known practitioners in the US, and its students and faculty have gone on to direct programs at many other universities. Additional information, including the Department’s on-line Newsletter, may be found at: www.landarch.illinois.edu. Computers Students are expected to acquire a laptop capable of running software used in our degree programs. There are a few University-provided workstations in each studio that are a shared resource. Updated information on hardware and software computer configurations is available at: http://www.landarch.illinois.edu/resources/computing/configuration/ComputerConfig.aspx. If you already own a laptop, refer to the software vendor’s support pages for minimum configurations. Generally, a Core2Duo processor and 3GB of memory with a dedicated graphics card will get you by the minimum requirements today. However, using this minimum configuration will make your computer seem slow compared to today’s latest generation of machines. Undergraduate Curriculum The four + year program in Landscape Architecture requires 124 semester hours, leading to an accredited, professional degree - Bachelor of Landscape Architecture. Of the 124 hours, the majority of credit hours are in required landscape architecture courses, consisting of design studio, construction, plant materials and design, history, design communication, and professional internship. The remaining hours are comprised of the following subjects: Urban and Regional Planning - 3 hours Natural Sciences: Plant Biology and Geography - 6 hours* Mathematics (depending on placement) - 0 to 5 hours

** three credit hours of this requirement are completed by LA 314 *** foreign language requirement is satisfied by completion of three years of the same foreign language

in high school or a third semester college language course. The first year of the program is structured to enable students to acquire the basic knowledge in graphics, natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, and mathematics. It is general and flexible to allow students from other colleges and universities to acquire this basic knowledge and transfer into the second year of the curriculum. Professional sequences in design, construction, and plants begin in the second year. Significant to the program is the use of a clearly defined "systematic approach" to the solution of landscape architectural problems, with emphasis on the basic principles of design, design process, and site planning skills. In addition, methods of landscape survey and analysis further supply the student with a logical basis for design decisions. The use of computers is introduced in this year as well. Academic Standing BLA students are expected to maintain a minimum 2.0 GPA (on a 4.0 scale). Failure to do so will result in academic probation. Such students have the next semester (fall or spring) to improve their GPA’s. Unless there are extenuating circumstances, students are not permitted to be on academic probation a second semester. A minimum 3.0 GPA is typically required to study abroad. The third year is structured to take advantage of this strong foundation. Courses in construction, plant materials, and large-scale design appear in the professional sequence. Following the third year, students complete a one-year professional internship or combination of internship and study abroad, to further advance their knowledge of built landscapes and the practice of landscape architecture. Upon return to campus for the final year of coursework, techniques are refined and principles are tested in a series of comprehensive application courses. Emphasis is placed on the creative solution of land use problems at all scales.

As the term is used herein, “reasonable accommodations” refer to those academic adjustments, services, and aids provided to otherwise qualified students with disabilities to facilitate equal access to University programs and activities. The Division of Disability Resources and Educational Services (DRES) or the Center for Wounded Veterans in Higher Education (CWVHE), as applicable, coordinates the University’s efforts to provide these reasonable accommodations. DRES and CWVHE will consult as necessary to facilitate the processing of requests for reasonable accommodations.

(b) In general, students are responsible for informing the University of their status as a person with a disability and their need for reasonable accommodations. Students with disabilities who are not veterans should direct their requests for reasonable accommodations to the DRES Student Services Office by phone at (217) 333-4603, or disability@illinois.edu. Student with disabilities who are veterans of the U.S. armed forces should direct their requests for reasonable accommodations to the CWVHE at (217) 300-3515 or cwvhe@ahs.illinois.edu. The applicable unit will determine what is a reasonable accommodation based upon an individual student’s needs. For academic accommodations, DRES or CWVHE, as applicable, will consult with the faculty member for whose course the accommodations are sought. The University may decline requests for accommodations that impose an undue hardship on the campus or that require the fundamental alteration of academic standards, programs, or coursework.

(c) In order to be considered for reasonable accommodations, the student must meet the following requirements: (1) The student must submit a completed Application for Services to DRES or CWVHE, as applicable. Students may obtain applications from: DRES: in person at the Rehabilitation-Education Center at 1207 South Oak Street, Champaign IL, or online at disability.illinois.edu. CWVHE: in person at 908 West Nevada Street, Urbana, IL, or online at woundedvetcenter.ahs.illinois.edu/. (2) The student must have a disability and provide documentation of a disability in accordance with the applicable documentation criteria.

(d) To facilitate timely review of a student’s request for reasonable accommodation, the student or prospective student who is requesting accommodations to access University programs and activities must submit a completed Application for Services to DRES or CWVHE, as applicable, as soon as possible. Some accommodations, such as interpreter, real-time captioning services, or the conversion of print-based educational materials to alternative accessible formats can require substantial lead time to schedule or prepare. Therefore, it is recommended that the student return the DRES or CWVHE Application for Services and discuss accommodation needs with DRES or CWVHE personnel at least six weeks before the date on which the student may first require the accommodations.

(e) A student may appeal to the Director of DRES or CWVHE, as applicable: (1) an accommodation recommendation by DRES or CWVHE if the student deems such recommendation to be unsatisfactory; (2) implementation of a DRES or CWVHE accommodation recommendation if the student deems such implementation ineffective. A student may appeal a determination of the DRES Director or the CWVHE Director to the Dean of the College of Applied Health Sciences.

(f) A student may also direct questions or concerns regarding accommodation decisions by DRES or CWHVE or other campus units to the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Access (ODEA), which is located at 1004 South Fourth Street, Champaign, IL or by phone at (217) 333-0885.
