GET READY TO GET READY! COLUMBUS COLLEGE OF ART & DESIGN PRE-ORIENTATION 2014

DEAR INCOMING STUDENT, Welcome to Columbus College of Art & Design!

Your passion and dreams have brought you to this exciting and important place in your life, and we are so pleased that you’ve chosen CCAD to help you fulfill them.

This is a special place: an institution on the move, with an exceptional faculty and staff and a group of fellow students who are immensely talented and ready to walk this path with you.

You’ll be challenged in ways you can’t yet anticipate, but also supported in ways that will remind you that you are not “just another student” here.

In other words, you are now part of the family.

At CCAD, you are seen, you are stretched, and you belong. Again, welcome!

Sincerely,

DWAYNE TODD

Vice President for Student Affairs

ORIENTATION FAQ

WHERE WILL I STAY?

WHAT TIME IS ORIENTATION?

Students attending June orientation are required to stay in the residence hall (with roommates) on campus for free.

During June orientation family members may also stay on campus separately from students for $60.

(This pays for a double room, which includes four twin beds, a private bathroom, and common space.)

The residence hall is not open the nights before and after orientation.

Check-in for orientation on the first day begins at 11 a.m. You will check in, put your stuff in your room, and then can enjoy an optional campus tour and/or lunch on your own in our Market. The first day ends around 8 p.m. for family members, while students will enjoy fun evening activities on campus.

Dinner on day one is included.

Day two begins at 9:30 a.m. (enjoy an optional free breakfast in our Market between 7:30 a.m. and 9 a.m.) and ends around 1 p.m.

Family members may also choose to stay in a hotel; for more info, see the “Where to Stay” link at www. ccad.edu/admissions/orientation.

During August orientation, only incoming students scheduled to live in the residence hall may stay on campus. Commuting students and all family members will need to make other housing arrangements.

WHAT SHOULD I BRING? A pen and paper to take notes

Any unfinished Admissions paperwork

Pillows, twin-sized bed linens, towels, and toiletries (for those staying on campus)

Comfortable clothing and shoes, sunglasses and sunscreen

Cash for the campus vending machines and convenience store

A positive attitude and willingness to meet new people

WHERE SHOULD I PARK? On Cleveland Avenue, parking is available in the two lots adjacent to Design Square Apartments, as well as the lots behind and across from Design Studios on Broad. Check out the campus map in the back of this booklet, and look for the signs when you get to campus.

WHERE SHOULD I GO WHEN I

ARRIVE?

If you need to take the Freshman English Exam (see below), then you should arrive at 9:45 a.m. and report to the One- Stop Student Services office in the Crane Center.

If you don’t need to take the exam, you can check in anytime between 11 a.m. and noon in the lobby of the Canzani Center. Just follow the signs.

DO I NEED TO TAKE THE FRESHMAN ENGLISH EXAM? Students who did not submit SAT or ACT scores to the Admissions office are required to take the Freshman English Exam to determine correct course

placement. (You will receive a letter before orientation if this applies to you.) Questions? Contact Advising at 614.222.3242.

WHAT IF I HAVE COLLEGE CREDITS THAT I WANT TO TRANSFER TO CCAD? Submit an official transcript with those credits on it to the Admissions office. The Advising office will then review the transcript, determine which credits will transfer, and mail you a letter with the results.

IS ORIENTATION MANDATORY? Yes, attendance is mandatory for all new students. The information you learn and people you meet are an important step in getting ready to attend CCAD. If you can’t come in June, please choose the one-day orientation on Aug. 22, just before classes start.

FRESHMAN KITS Your Freshman Kit is the box of goodies that you will need for your CORE classes (including paint, brushes, pencils, rulers, charcoal, and more). A charge for your fall art supplies is already on your bill; you just have to pick up your kit and any other supplies in the campus Supply Store. Any balance you have remaining at the end of the semester will be refunded.

When you come to campus to start classes this fall, info will be posted about where and when to pick up your kit.

Typically, that time starts the Thursday before classes begin: Thursday noon– 4:30, Friday 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m., and Sunday noon–4 p.m. Questions? Call the Supply Store at 614.222.3224.

RESIDENCE LIFE Most first-year students live in Schottenstein Residence Hall; there is also some space designated for first-year students in Design Square Apartments. Learn more about both at www.ccad.edu/ccad-campus/residence-life.

YOUR RESIDENCE HALL ASSIGNMENT To get your residence hall assignment, you must: • Fill out and submit your housing application. (You got this in your preregistration packet, but you can also find it at www.ccad.edu/ccadcampus/residence-life/housingagreement-information.)

• Pay your security deposit.

• Pay your scheduling deposit.

The housing application priority deadline is May 2, 2014, for incoming first-year and transfer students. We continue to accept applications until all rooms are filled, but if you apply late, you may be placed on a waitlist.

Payment of room and board is required before you move into the residence hall on AUG. 21, 2014.

THINK ABOUT: What does it take for me to get ready?

Containers? Crates? Shower caddy?

Equipment—alarm clock, TV, Ethernet cable, flexible-arm lamp for your desk/drawing table, personal art supplies

What does “cleaning” mean to me?

How often, using what products, and what do I expect from my suitemates? Do I know how to use a washing machine?

Miscellaneous—clothes hangers, change for vending, detergent, laundry basket

I know I’m responsible for any wall damage in my room. With that in mind, how am I going to make the space my own?

Schottenstein only: mini-fridge (one per bedroom), microwave (one per suite)

What are my eating habits? Will I want to have some quick breakfast options on hand?

What environment do I need to sleep? Should I bring headphones or ear plugs? A night mask? Extra pillows?

REGULAR PARKING PASS This is for non-residential students who commute to campus. It costs $150 for the academic year and does not grant overnight parking status. Students using this pass must vacate all campus lots by 2 a.m. and may not return to the lot until 6 a.m. Multiple violations will result in violators being ticketed and risking having their car towed.

OVERNIGHT PARKING PASS This is for students who wish to park on campus 24 hours a day. (This is the choice for residential students.) It costs $650 for the academic year and allows for 24-hour parking in designated lots.

Payment must be made by cash, check, or charge. (Financial aid funds cannot be used to pay for the pass unless you have a credit on your CCAD account after tuition and fees have been deducted for the term.) When you receive your statement of tuition and fees for the fall semester (typically sent in early July), a parking pass registration form will be included.
