Studios

Every graduate student is assigned a studio space with 24-hour access. Second-year graduate students are given priority.

A $200 studio deposit fee is to be paid before moving into a studio. $150 will be returned when the student moves out of their studio and the remaining $50 will be used for studio maintenance materials. Use of studios is contingent upon following U.S. Environmental Protection Agency guidelines for the safe and environmentally responsible use of art materials. Safety Rules for Graduate Students is distributed at the beginning of the academic year. Failure to comply will result in revocation of studio privileges. All students are required to complete online a Rutgers University Environmental Health and Safety Training on Art Safety at https://myrehs.rutgers.edu at the start of each academic year. First-year students cannot move into their studios until they complete the training and provide proof of completion.

Students are permitted to use only university locks (not personal) when securing their studios. This is a university regulation enforced by the Division of Fire Safety. Studios must be painted and cleaned according to the rules and regulations, and graduating master of fine arts students must vacate by May 31. Students registered for Matriculation Continued may not keep their studio space beyond this date.
