POLICY STATEMENT
All students should read the general regulations found both in the Course Schedule and the Student Handbook. Lack of familiarity with sections pertaining to any issues in question does not excuse students from the obligation to follow the policies and procedures set out therein. Although every effort has been made to ensure that the Course Schedule and Student + Campus Handbook are as accurate as possible, students are advised that the information contained in them is subject to change or correction.
Students should check their SFAI email (@artists.sfai.edu), the Student Portal, and WebAdvisor (Searchable Course Schedule, My Class Schedule) online for the most updated changes to academic policies, requirements, and courses. SFAI reserves the right to change any curricular offering, policy, requirement, or financial regulation whenever necessary and as the requirements of SFAI demand.
In maintaining accurate records of the academic progress of students, the Registrar’s Office is responsible for interpreting and enforcing Academic Policies as described in the Student + Campus Handbook. It also provides statistical and individually identifiable information to appropriate persons at SFAI and to federal and state accrediting agencies and other organizations according to regulations subscribed to by accredited schools in higher education.
