Your media explorations schedule is changing. 

As you know, Media Explorations is divided into two sections, Winter 1 and Winter 2. In the interest of reducing the number of students on campus, and in keeping with a ‘less is more’ approach, we’ve decided to switch the order of Winter 1 and 2. These changes have already been made in NetClassroom, so if you login to look at your schedule you’ll be looking at the updated, correct information. 

As a result of this change, many of you will not have ANY Media Explorations beginning until February 28. Those of you that do still have an exploration that started in January, please see the instructions below. 

  • Ceramics will take place in person. Please report to the ceramics studio as instructed. 
  • 3D Digital Design will take place in-person.
  • Photography/Videography will take place in-person.

Winter 1 begins Monday, January 10.

Winter 2 begins Monday, February 28.

If you have any questions, you can email FVA Studio Head Jillian Acreman (jillian.acreman@gnb.ca).

Frequently Asked Questions:

 

Q: Am I able to come into the classroom while classes remain online?

A: Not at this time. Our goal is to have the least number of people on campus as possible to slow the spread of COVID-19. If your classes are online, you must remain off campus.

 

Q: How do I schedule my kit pick-up for Monday, January 10 and what do I need to bring?

A: Studios with required kit pick-ups will send an additional email to their students with instructions on how to schedule your kit pick-up. You should bring as little to campus as possible, come on your own within your scheduled timeblock, and adhere to all regular health and safety protocols while on campus.

 

Q: If my start date is being pushed, will this affect when my classes end?

A: Yes. For example, if your course started on January 24 instead of Monday, January 10, the end date of that course would also be pushed back 14 days.

 

Q: If I already have a flight booked or confirmed plans to leave Fredericton at the original end-of-term date, can I be accommodated if my classes will now end later than expected? 

A: Yes. Your instructors and Studio Head will work with you to ensure you can finish your studies.

 

Q: How will these changes affect my FVA Media Explorations?

A: The following adjustments are in place:

  • 3D Digital Design — one cohort will begin January 10
  • Ceramics — two cohorts will begin January 10
  • Fashion — pushed to unit 2 (Feb. 28) and room changed to 004
  • Graphic Design — pushed to unit 2 (Feb. 28)
  • Jewellery/Metal Arts — pushed to unit 2 (Feb. 28)
  • Photography/Videography — one cohort begins January 10

 

Q: If I require additional assistance in the classroom, will this be accommodated?

A: Yes. Please reach out to your instructor directly.

 

Q: Will student services staff be on campus and/or available to support me?

A: Members of the student services team will primarily be working from home to contribute to less people on campus. All services will continue to be offered remotely—while our College Counsellor and Learning Strategist will provide some in-person appointments at their discretion. You are encouraged to reach out for support and assistance.
