Studio Arts first year courses
Consult your program to see the list of recommended first-year courses and to verify whether you must make an appointment with an academic advisor.
You should also download and print your program guide and use it to keep track of your degree requirements.
New students are not required to obtain advising prior to registration. Since places in ALL studio courses are extremely competitive, students are strongly urged to begin registering for their courses as soon as possible. Although advising is not required, students wishing to see an academic advisor may contact the Department of Studio Arts.
The Department of Studio Arts will be holding an orientation on Friday, September 10th from 9:30am to 12:00pm (location TBA). During this session, students will learn about the different Studio Arts areas and about their specific program requirements. Participation is strongly recommended.
A studio elective is defined as any course chosen from among the following disciplines:
- ARTX
- CERA (ceramics)

- FBRS (fibres and materials practice)
- IMCA (intermedia - video, performance, electronics)
