International Students Fall 2021

Message For Incoming International First Year Students: Attending Ringling College this Fall, 2021

In light of the continuing COVID-19 situation, we wish to share the following information. Incoming International First Year students who cannot get to campus this coming Fall 2021, through no fault of their own, may petition to take all courses remotely. This will ensure that students who are living outside the U.S., who are unable to attain a student visa, or travel bans prohibit their ability to arrive on our Ringling College campus, can begin their degree program in a timely manner.

We plan to update this information on a regular basis.

Spaces

The Alfred R. Goldstein Library features a wide variety of quiet, group study, and work process spaces. Looking for a quiet study area? Make your way up to the 3rd floor to look for a book in the Research Collection or peruse the new art magazines while relaxing in comfortable seating. When the weather is nice, you can take your coffee from Roberta’s Café on the first floor to one of the four terraces to work outside and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. Looking for meeting space to get together with a group? Check out the group study rooms, which are available on all three floors of the Goldstein Library. The 10 group study rooms are available to students on a first-come first served basis, or available for booking by Ringling College faculty and staff for group and class meetings.
