√ COVID SAFETY AND VACCINATION
Covid Safety and Vaccination
See the Health and Safety page of the MassArt website. While no longer a requirement, it is strongly encouraged that all students (both residential and non-residential), staff, and faculty are fully vaccinated for COVID-19 and have at least one dose of the bivalent booster.
√ UPDATE YOUR MAILING ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER
If your home address or phone number changes during the course of your program, please alert the graduate programs office directly at gradprogram@massart.edu.
√ ART EDUCATION MTEL TESTS
Students enrolling in MassArt’s Masters and Post-baccalaureate teaching programs take the MTEL tests. Register online for these two subtests: Communication and Literacy, and Visual Art.
√ M.ARCH PROGRAM EVALUATION DOCUMENTATION
All M.Arch students must submit documentation of prior Architecture courses for review against possible course exemptions or transfer. Documentation should be submitted through the Applicant Portal, prior to the start of the fall term. See also ACADEMIC POLICIES for more info.
√ GRADUATE ASSISTANTSHIPS: ID FOR WORK ELIGIBILITY
In order to be eligible to work in the US, students must complete an I-9 form along with other paperwork. Students need to make sure they have access to the types of IDs required on the I-9 form, and should review IRS Form I-9 for information on the IDs that are requested. You will be asked to do online payroll forms, including the I-9, after you have been contracted for a graduate assistantship. See the Graduate Assistantships page of this site, for information re: applying for graduate assistantship positions. If you have questions, please contact us at gradprogram@massart.edu.
