alumni benefits
|
Alumni from the College of Visual Arts are a valued and recognized part of the college's community. CVA is proud of alumni
achievements in the world of art and design and seeks to be an asset for future alumni success. CVA welcomes alumni interest,
support, and assistance.
Alumni may benefit from the educational and professional environment at the college by using a number of services and facilities.
These include auditing classes, library privileges, and access to labs. In order to initiate and maintain these benefits it is requested that alumni:
Update the Alumni Office with a current address,
telephone number and e-mail address. Alumni may also include the URL for their personal home page or for their place of employment.
A link to this web site will be added to the CVA Alumni web site page. Sharing other information such as new jobs, gallery shows, weddings, etc.
is also welcomed!
Visit the Registrar's Office during regular office hours to update your CVA ID. A current ID will be required for access to the library and labs.
benefits
AUDITING A CLASS
Alumni are allowed to audit (pass/fail basis; reflected on transcript) one class following their graduation provided that
all financial obligations to CVA are paid and they are registered with the Alumni Office. Alumni are expected to pay any course fee.
Enrollment for a class depends upon space availability. To register for a class, alumni should contact the Registrar's Office. Subsequent classes
may be audited at the posted credit fee plus lab fees (available on-line or from the Business Office).
LIBRARY PRIVILEGES
Alumni may use the library as an education resource. They may checkout items including books, slides, videos, and magazines and have access
to the various online databases. Library access, however, does not include interlibrary requests. For more information contact the Library Director.
COMPUTER LAB ACCESS
Alumni may use the college computer labs during regular building hours. Priority is first given to scheduled classes and enrolled students.
PHOTOGRAPHY FACILITIES ACCESS
There is a per semester fee (TBD each year by the Photo Department) for alumni use of the photography facilities, which includes the darkroom,
copy camera room, mounting room, and photo studio. Alumni are required to follow procedures as outlined in the Darkroom Policy.
Darkroom access is a privilege meant to help alumni progress with their personal artwork, develop a portfolio or build a body of work. Extensive use
of the darkroom, such as mass-producing images for professional resale (wedding, commercial images, etc.) or mural printing, will result in a larger
fee to be determined by the photo tech.
Access is granted during regular building hours, but not during class times. Eligibility for certain areas and equipment is based upon previous
course experience, i.e., to use the color area alumni must have successfully taken Photography II at CVA.
Restrictions
Priority for all facilities, materials, and services is given to current students. Alumni are directed to plan their use at times when facilities are
not in use by classes.
Alumni privileges may be revoked or suspended at any time resulting from inappropriate behavior, legal violations, unsafe use, failure to pay fees,
interpersonal conflict, and other violations of college policies. Alumni whose privileges have be revoked or suspended will be notified by the Alumni
Office. Decisions made by the college are considered final.
There is no storage of alumni work in campus facilities. Alumni work left in any building will be handled at the college's discretion, including disposal.
For more information contact the Alumni Office at 651.224.3416.
