Cia student handbook

26 2. Personal Equipment If you bring your own equipment into the studio areas, you must be “cleared� on the operational safety of that equipment as well as your ability to use that equipment safely.

The faculty member or TS responsible for that studio area must approve the equipment and ensure that you can safely use the equipment before it can be operated in the studio.

D. Insurance, Personal Property, and Exhibited Work The Institute does not insure personal belongings. Members of the CIA community should be mindful of their property and aware of people in their surroundings. Suspicious activity or persons should be reported to Security personnel immediately. CWRU Police offer a bike registration process and provide bicycle locks.

Although every effort will be made to protect and preserve student property and creative work, the Institute cannot accept responsibility for damage or loss. Student work exhibited in Reinberger Galleries locations will be insured during installation, throughout the exhibition, and during dismantling in accordance with the Gallery insurance policy (but not if placed in storage).

Damage to, or theft of, any artwork in the building should be reported to the Director of Facilities Management and Safety. The Institute is not responsible for student personal property brought onto campus.

E. Parking your Car Parking for student vehicles is located in assigned parking lots adjacent to the two academic buildings. Use of the parking lots requires purchase of a parking permit at the Student Accounts Office, and display of the parking hang tag at all times. Bring your receipt to the Facilities Management and Safety Office to have access added to your CIA ID card and receive your hang tag. Purchasing a parking permit does not guarantee a parking space; parking is limited and on a first-come, first-served basis. Any vehicle without a valid hang tag is subject to ticketing and towing at the owner’s expense. Hang tags should be hung so they are visible behind the rear view mirror and can be transferred from one car to another. Anyone using an Institute parking lot is subject to the parking policies in effect at the time the permit is issued.

CIA parking lots are managed by Standard Parking (216-522-0700) and this company monitors lots and tickets cars without permits and those parked illegally. Overnight parking is not permitted in any CIA lot.

First year students who live in the residence hall are not eligible for a parking permit that can be used in CIA-owned lots.

Fair warning: There are very few free parking spaces in the University Circle area. Limited metered parking is available, and ticketing is a frequent activity by the local police force. Look at the area signs before you park. Think twice before you decide to bring a car to campus.

Remember that you can get a free RTA pass each semester for rail and bus transportation.

F. Bicycles, Skateboards, Rollerblades, Mechanized Vehicles, Hoverboards For safety reasons, bicycles, skateboards, rollerblades, hoverboards, and mechanized vehicles may not be ridden or used while in the hallways or gallery areas of any Institute building. There are racks for bike parking outside the academic building. If you have a bicycle, invest in a serious lock, lock your bike to a rack when not in use, and register your bike with the CWRU Police Department (1689 E 115 St. (216) 368-6811). The Institute is not responsible for damage to or loss of personal items.
