Will there be a lot of homework?
Amount of homework is based on each individual person and each course. A rough guideline to use, according to current students, is to double homework time to hours in class. Students who use studio class time effectively have less to complete after class hours.

What kind of classes are there?
Classes are held in a combination of drafting labs, computer labs and classrooms. Some of our courses are hybrid courses that allow for some time in classroom settings, some time on-line or off campus.

How early do classes start?
Classes can begin as early as 8 a.m. and classes can end as late as 7 p.m.

How much will it cost for supplies?
Cost of supplies varies from course to course although the initial outlay in drafting equipment is used for many years throughout the program and will be used in students' future career. Students will need to purchase a variety of materials to complete projects. Equipment kits are assembled in the bookstore before the first semester for purchase.(See below)

Equipment Kits
1. Colour décor - approx. $100
2. Basic Drafting Skills - approx. $75
3. Drawing Techniques - approx. $75

Do I need a computer?
Students find it handy to have a computer with Microsoft Word capabilities, Excel, PowerPoint and Adobe Acrobat Reader. There are a limited number of computers for student use in campus with a set number of printing per semester for students’ needs. However, our campus is wireless if you'd like to use your own laptop. If you decide to use your own computer be sure to budget for print cartridges and paper.
