Students in the College of VIsual and Performing Arts have an academic advisor in the Highlander Success Center. CVPA Director of Advising, Donna Oliver, serves as advising coordinator for the college. She is available to work with students by appointment or on a walk-in basis.
All students also have a faculty advisor and are encouraged to connect with them for academic guidance.
Students applying for graduation will need to complete the online graduation application through OneCampus. Information on where to find the online application is below. Feel free to contact the CVPA Advising Center with questions.
Graduation applications are due the semester prior to your anticipated graduation. If you are graduating in the spring or summer term, your application is due in September prior to the spring term. If you are graduating in the fall, your application is due in January prior to the fall term.
Contact the advising center if you have questions.
If you plan to participate in a commencement ceremony, but still need to complete additional requirements to graduate, you will need to complete a Petition to Walk. An example would be if you plan to graduate in the summer, but would like to participate ("walk") in the May graduation ceremony.
In addition to rehearsal areas in the individual departments there are three rehearsal spaces in Trinkle Hall. When not in use for classes or production rehearsals, the space is open for Trinkle residents, CVPA students and the Community of Artists Living and Learning Community (CoA).
