Spring 2023 classes

Adult classes begin the week of February 6
Young artist classes begin February 18

Register online here or call 216.421.7460 to register over the phone. 

Our courses for adults and young artists cover a wide range of processes and mediums, and all skill levels. In-person classes offer access to state-of-the-art technology and equipment, including ceramics and metal studios, digital labs, and more. Our online courses allow students to learn from the comfort of their home. No matter what type of class you take, you’ll get a unique and in-depth learning experience from our instructors, who are practicing artists and designers, and often faculty here at CIA. 

Classes for adults take place once a week for an eight-week session. Young Artist classes are held on Saturdays for eight weeks during the spring and fall semesters, and are Monday through Friday during the summer for two weeks.

COVID Protocols

Vaccination Requirement
Beginning in January 2022, anyone enrolled in an on-campus Continuing Education course designated for Adults or Young Artists is required to be fully vaccinated. Instructions on how to comply with that requirement will be communicated to students prior to classes starting. Exemptions will not be granted.

Masking
Starting this semester, CIA's masking policy will align with the CDC's COVID-19 Community Level for Cuyahoga County. Details on protocols for each level (Red, Yellow, Green corresponding to High, Medium and Low) are available at cia.edu/covid. 

Failure to do so will result in removal from a class at the student's expense. 

Please refer to CIA's Smart Return to Campus for more information on CIA's most up-to-date COVID-19 policies and procedures.

 

Refunds

To obtain a tuition refund, please send written notification to ce@cia.edu. There is a $50 non-refundable processing fee for all refunds not initiated by the College. Processing of refunds may take up to three weeks.

Refund Schedule

Written notification received seven days or more prior to class start date will receive 100% tuition refund minus the non-refundable processing fee of $50.

Notification received four to six days prior to the start of the class will receive a 50% tuition refund minus the processing fee of $50.

There will be no refunds for notifications received less than four days prior to the start of the class.

Cancellations

Courses may be canceled due to low enrollment. If you are registered for a course that is canceled you will be offered the opportunity to enroll in another available course or have your full tuition refunded.

Decisions on course cancellations are at least one week before courses begin. Early registrations lead to more courses that run, so we encourage you to register early.

In the event that your instructor needs to cancel a class for any reason, students will be notified and a make-up class will be held in the week following the end of your course: you should tentatively block off this week, in case it is needed.

Missed Classes

If you are unable to attend a scheduled class, we regret that we will not be able to prorate any tuition or reimburse you for the missed class. We encourage you to contact your instructor via their information in the syllabus to discuss any material you may have missed if you were unable to attend a class. CIA cannot offer any individual make up time for missed classes.

Online Privacy

The information we collect is used to communicate with past, present, current and potential students. It is not shared with other organizations for commercial purposes. We do not record your credit card number after the payment is complete.
