Studio Experiences - Spring 2023
Register for JumpstART
JumpstART is the summer introduction to life at DCAD for all incoming students. When you attend one of these sessions, you will get your DCAD Student ID, your DCAD email address, and your course schedule for the Fall. We will also offer you the chance to complete a writing sample exercise, which is mandatory for all incoming students. The writing sample you will complete is used as an assessment tool to assist us in determining the academic writing classes you will take in your first year. Finally (most importantly), you’ll get some swag!
Each session is from 8:30am to 1:00pm and has 40 available slots. Once a session has reached capacity, it will no longer be available for additional registrants and will be removed as an option for registration, so please do not wait to register or your preferred date may not be unavailable.
