ACADEMIC PROGRAMMES REGULATIONS AND POLICIES

Please Note: The definition of student for the purposes of these policies and regulations is that of a student studying at The Art Academy on an ‘Academic’ programme of at least 180 hours per academic year.

Whilst those studying less than 180 hours on ‘Short Courses’ are valued members of the Academy community and therefore afforded the same rights to equality of experience, with regard to quality of provision, safeguarding and expectations of treatment as laid out in our Equality and Diversity principles, Short Course participants DO NOT fall under the policy and guidance documents listed here (or any other within our internal IT systems) in respect of the Academy’s duty of care to them. For terms & conditions and regulations concerning Short Course students, please see Short Course Regulations & Policies.
