We Are Open! Academy of Art Ready for Summer and Fall with Online Education

Lest there be any lingering doubts about the status of Academy of Art University’s classes for the rest of the academic year: WE ARE OPEN! Summer and Fall, we’re ready for you.

Thanks to our long-established online education program, we are able to seamlessly transfer all of our onsite classes to virtual classrooms in an instant. As circumstances remain challenging, Academy of Art has taken the position of prioritizing the health and safety of its students, faculty, and staff, and so will keep most of the on-site facilities closed throughout the summer semester.

We are, however, optimistic, that we can all be together once more by the time the fall semester rolls in. But until then, we encourage you to stay connected with your instructors and peers using our available online facilities.

We also would like to reassure that we remain steadfast in our support for our students and new graduates to find opportunities for employment and refinement of skills. Our Career Services are ready to serve—all you have to do is get in touch with them.

We know how important it is for you to hear from the administration, and so without further ado, we turn this over to President Elisa Stephens with this very important message for the parents and guardians:

Stay safe, everyone! And we hope to see you all again in our San Francisco campus soon.
