Community Printmaking Program

• Once the online registration goes live, it is on a first come first serve basis.
• Registrants are limited to selecting only ONE course. 
• If you cannot register for a course, we strongly encourage you to sign up for the waitlist, which can also be done using the online registration form.
• The cost for each course may vary and additional fees may apply. Please check the information above on course costs and associated fees.
• Instructions for payment delivery/drop-off will be sent after registration ends and once your registration is confirmed.

If you fail to complete these items prior to the first day of class, you will be automatically dropped from the course.

All students are strongly encouraged to follow TC's Healthy Hygiene Practices and Behavior Guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and other viruses. You can learn more at this link. 

Our Printmaking Studio policies will be updated here soon.

Instructions for payment submission will be sent after registration ends and once your registration is confirmed.  

Requests for refunds must be made in writing to Sam and Anna at printmaking@tc.columbia.edu. Refund requests must be received one day prior to the first day of class. Refund requests received after the first day of class will not be approved and processed. 

Please carefully review the information below. Once all requirements have been met, students will be granted access to attend classes and open studio hours in the Printmaking Studio. These requirements may shift as deemed necessary by the Art and Art Education Program and Teachers College.

TC Entry Requirements

There are currently no requirements students need to complete prior to entering TC. However, all Community Printmaking students are required to comply with TC's COVID-19 policies and procedures for health and safety.

• All TC Community Printmaking students are strongly encouraged to follow TC’s healthy hygiene practices to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and other viruses.
• TC is "Mask Mindful." In essence, this guidance means that masks will become optional on campus for faculty, staff, and students who are vaccinated and boosted. Everyone is expected to follow these guidelines at all times when they are on campus, both inside and outside of the Printmaking Studio.
• If you feel sick at any point during the semester, DO NOT COME TO CAMPUS. Please remain home until you are feeling well.
• If you develop symptoms of COVID-19 at any point during the semester, DO NOT COME TO CAMPUS. Seek a rapid or PCR test 3-5 days after symptoms onset. If you test positive, complete the health screening form to report your results. If you test negative, you can return to campus once your symptoms resolve.
• Once you have been infected with COVID-19, you may continue to test positive even after your infection has cleared. Please read further guidelines about this circumstance.
• TC strongly recommends community members get a flu shot and an additional COVID-19 booster if you are eligible.

If you test positive for COVID-19 at a future date or are experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms, please email us at printmaking@tc.columbia.edu immediately.

Printmaking Studio Entry Requirements

All students will be required to complete and abide by all TC Printmaking Studio requirements.

• All students working in the Printmaking Studio will be required to complete an online Studio Health, Safety, and Procedures Agreement. 
• All students working in the Printmaking Studio will be required to complete and sign the online TC Printmaking Shared Commitments Agreement.
• All new students working in the Printmaking Studio will be required to complete a short in-person studio orientation with the Printmaking Studio Fellow during the first week of classes.

Links to agreement forms and information regarding open studio hours will be sent to students after registration closes. 

Temporary visitor IDs will be available for pickup when students come to campus for their first day of class. Students must complete all requirements in order to pick up their temporary visitor IDs.

Students must pick up their temporary visitor IDs with a Public Safety Officer at TC's main entrance (located at 525 W 120th St, New York, NY 10027) and present a government-issued ID.  

Community safety and effective communication are core values at the heart of the Teachers College Public Safety Team’s mission. At various times, the College may need to alert the community to incidents or issues of concern, including by sending safety messages. 

A safety resource available to all Community Students is the TC Safe App. Furthermore, Community Students can choose to create a TC Alert account at this link. This emergency notification system provides folks with critical information in various situations, such as active threats on campus, campus closures due to severe weather, missing persons, building evacuations, and other safety-related warnings. Community Students will receive time-sensitive messages in the manner you specify. TC Alert is only initiated for safety-related messaging and is not used to disseminate general campus information. You may opt-out at any time.
