For Graduate Students
- Students are expected to maintain an active on-campus studio space. Studio spaces may be reassigned at the end of each year depending on use and need. Unless you need a different type of space for presentation, the faculty grad reviews will be held in your studio. Likewise, instructors will expect to meet with you in this space at times.
- In the designated rooms, Time-Based Art students can store work or additional materials as needed. Anything stored in these rooms must be clearly labeled and removed at the end of each academic year.
