Fall Orientation

You’ve already taken care of business this summer at StART—so now it’s time for the fun part! Fall Orientation is a mandatory two-day program that takes place when you move to campus in August. Orientation will help you adjust to college life and embark on the road to a profession in art and design.

During orientation, you will have the opportunity to:

• Connect with student peers, faculty, and staff within the Institute
• Explore academic and social possibilities that lie ahead
• Orient yourself with campus surroundings, such as University Circle, Little Italy, and the many museums and cultural activities the area has to offer
• Get acquainted with the people who run our school, including CIA’s president and dean of students
• Learn from current faculty members about course expectations and living as a lifetime artist

You don’t need to sign up for Fall Orientation. Just move in at the assigned time and our Orientation staff will help you get started!
