CLASS SELECTION

  • Placement exams for studio art courses are mandatory for students wishing to register for anything other than beginning classes. These placement tests are administered during the first week of classes, and students are provided the exact meeting time during orientation. Class schedules indicate that many of the studio art courses involve two time blocks; students enrolled in those courses must attend both time blocks.

  • Some courses may require additional fees for labs, materials, equipment, etc. which are not included in the program cost. In addition, some courses require students pay for class field trips. This will be noted in the descriptions for such courses.
