With only 2.5 days before your first day of spring semester in our art school, get ready to shake the holidays away and start the semester with a bang! We’ve got plenty of academic resources ready, including opportunities for part-time jobs, to help you make this spring semester your best one yet.

Let’s start with the basics, shall we?

Academy Resource Center (ARC)

From educational support services to English for Art (EAP) language and accessibility support, Academy Resource Center (ARC) has everything you need to be a successful art school student. If you have a burning question, chances are ARC will have the answer you need.

ARC Workshops & Tutoring

Worried about your classes? Don’t fret – ARC regularly hosts workshops, labs and individualized tutoring to help students with art and design needs, communication and technical needs for free. That’s right, free. Catch them live during ARC Onsite Workshops which begin Week 4 and run through Week 13. Make sure to sign up at least 48 hours before the workshop to secure your spot!

Now that we’ve gone through all the basics, let’s move on to part-time jobs and career development.

Federal Work Study Program (Part-Time Job)

We know that art school tuition is not cheap. In order to help you pay for college and develop skills, we’ve got a variety of part-time jobs on and off-campus for you. Work on-campus as a barista or help out at local nonprofits off-campus. Go ahead, explore your options and apply.
