COLUMBUS COLLEGE OF ART & DESIGN PRE-ORIENTATION 2013

dear inCOMing student, Welcome to Columbus College of Art & Design.

I know you had plenty of choices for your higher education, and I’m delighted and proud that you’ve chosen CCAD. Frankly, it’s a great time to be here. The CCAD curriculum is a terrific mix of studio work, traditional liberal arts, and new opportunities to gain key business skills throughout your time on campus. Not to mention our exciting CCAD MindMarket—which offers you the chance to do projects with real-world companies and organizations while you’re still a student.

Please accept my very best wishes as you begin your journey at CCAD. We can’t wait to see where your creative path takes you.

Sincerely,

Dennison W. Griffith President

Everyone who’s been in your shoes agrees—a lot of questions come up as you prepare for college life. We want to help you with some answers: about orientation, housing, parking, placement testing, and more. This e-booklet is something you can refer to all summer, both before and after orientation.

Speaking of orientation, if you haven’t registered yet, do it ASAP. All new students are required to attend, and the sooner you register, the better shot you have at your first-choice dates. Just use the online form to choose from the following: Session I: Session II: Session III: Session IV:

June 9–10 June 13–14 June 17–18 August 23

Transfer and Non-traditional Students: August 22

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 11:00 am. You will check in, put your stuff in your room and can enjoy an optional campus tour and/or lunch on your own in our Market. The first day ends around 8pm for family members, while students will enjoy fun evening activities on campus. Dinner on day one is included. Day two begins at 9:30am (enjoy an optional free breakfast in our Market between 7:30am and 9am) and the day ends around 1pm.

Family members may also choose to stay in a hotel; please visit our Where to Stay webpage for info on local hotels and more.

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?

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, 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 OneStop 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 August 23, just before classes start.

residenCe life CCAD’s residence halls provide an opportunity for you to both study and live right in the heart of the CCAD community. This provides the best environment for you to succeed, especially during your first year of college. Relationships formed with classmates in the residence halls often are maintained throughout your CCAD career and even into your alumni years.

The research supporting the value of oncampus living is so strong that CCAD requires all freshmen and transfer students under the age of 21 who have fewer than 24 completed

credit hours to live on campus for their first year at CCAD. (Many students choose to continue living on campus well beyond that required year.) Some exceptions do apply; contact Residence Life at 614.222.3294 or housing@ccad.edu if you have questions.

Two professional staff members and 13 Resident Advisors (RAs) oversee the residence halls. The staff provides educational and personal assistance while serving as a resource and ensuring the safety and security of all residents.

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 online.

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 online.)

• Pay your security deposit.

• Pay your scheduling deposit.

The housing application priority deadline was May 4, 2013, 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.

Housing assignments and move-in details will be emailed in mid-July to those who are admitted to the fall semester. Payment of room and board is required before you move into the residence hall on August 22, 2013.

What should I bring to college?

Note: The following lists are not exhaustive; if you have questions, just contact Residence Life at 614.222.3294 or housing@ccad.edu.

Think About:

What does it take for me to get ready?

How am I going to organize my stuff?

Do I need shelving? Containers?

Crates? Shower caddy?

What will my roommate do with his/her space? Should we coordinate what items we bring, talk about how we will live together, discuss decorations?

How many TVs are we going to have?

Do I need/want a DVD or DVR? Can we share?

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?

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?

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?

Bring:

Bedding—pillows, sheets, blankets for a standard or extra-long twin mattress

Bath items—towels, soap and toiletries, other bathroom accessories

Personal comfort items—pictures, keepsakes, posters, etc.

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

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

Bicycle and U-shaped bike lock

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

Design Square only: cooking pots, pans, dishes, utensils

Parking If you’d like to park on campus, you have to purchase a parking pass. There are two options:

Do Not Bring:

Weight-lifting equipment

Candles and/or incense

Drug or alcohol paraphernalia

Pets (However, you may bring fish in a 10-gallon or less aquarium.)

Additional large furniture (Desk chairs are OK.)

Pressurized air container

Hot plate

Toaster oven

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.
