Richard A. Stephens took over the Presidency from his parents. His vision led to the expansion of the Academy from an enrollment of fifty students in two rented loft spaces to a 5,200 student body, with continued expansion of department majors available. In 1966 the school was incorporated and granted authority to offer a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Art by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education of the State of California. The graduate program was inaugurated in 1977 and approved by 1983. Dr. Elisa Stephens, the granddaughter of the school’s founder, succeeded her father as President of the Academy of Art University in 1992. Dr. Stephens has been committed to expanding the Academy’s curriculum to stay current with new technologies and industry trends, as well as making state-of-the art facilities and resources available to Academy students. In 2004, the name of the school was changed from Academy of Art College to Academy of Art University in recognition of its depth, scope and quality.

We teach students to develop the habits and mindset to make a living from their creative genius. They leave here and go into the world informed, inspired and savvy enough to pursue their dreams and thereby enrich our culture. – Richard S. Stephens, Founder

We are in the pursuit of truth in this World of Education. That means artists teaching artists. Instructors insctructing the truth. That’s honesty and integrity, and the Academy of Art University stands for these principles. – Richard A. Stephens, Chairman Emeritus

Experts and futurists tell us that the future will be driven by the “creative class.” We consider ourselves the stewards of a learning institution dedicated to teaching the truth in the artistic and creative process. – Elisa Stephens, President

Don’t Hesitate to Get Help

ROOM? 1/2 A ROOM? JUST A CORNER? Stephanie, an Animation major, taking classes from Missouri, has a cozy corner to call her own. It helps her feel more like a professional artist. It also makes it easier for her to meet her online class deadlines.

Online classes move quickly. If you feel yourself starting to fall behind, don’t put up a brave front or think things will get better with time, they won’t. Get help as soon as that little feeling of doubt sneaks into your psyche. In the next section of the handbook is a rundown of the vast variety of resources available to online students. • Acdemy Resource Center • Online Student Academic Coaching • Online Labs Live!

Connecting with Alumni With over 25,000 alumni across the world, every student has access to an amazing network of professional artists and designers. How do you tap into the network? The easiest way is to use the “Advanced” search tool on LinkedIn.

• Step 1, set up a profile for yourself at Linked In. There’s a handy PDF guide on how to do that. Look in the “Career Resources” -> “Career Library” section of the AAU Job Board: https://academyart-csm.symplicity.com/students/

Even if it’s your first semester, you can still do it. Here’s are a couple of good examples of student Linked In profiles:

• It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that their presented work is clear and legible. Methods for uploading your drawings include a flatbed scanner (11 x 17 inches is recommended), having your work professionally scanned, or photographing your work. It’s recommended that you review the quality of your presentation after it is posted to ensure that all images are clear, legible, and professional. • If photographing your work, use a direct desk lamp for strong lighting, a digital camera (phone cameras do not have adequate quality), and an inexpensive tripod. Shoot the work straight, so that the image is not distorted. • Step-by-step tutorials with details on how best to photograph your work can be found here: http://howto.academyart.edu/ • Theft of University property, or assisting in storing or knowingly using stolen University property, as well as the non-return of borrowed (checked-out) Academy of Art University equipment.

uments pertaining to academic records.

In addition, the Academy utilizes a service called Turnitin.com. This service scans written work submitted by students and reveals how much of the materials is original and how much of it can be found on the internet. Any student who plagiarizes will receive a grade of “F” for that assignment, with no opportunity to do the assignment again. All plagiarism offenses will be reported to the Department Director and to the Educational Services Office and a notation will be indicated on the student’s transcript. Plagiarism is a violation of the Academy of Art University’s Academic Honesty Policy and may be grounds for suspension or dismissal from Academy of Art University. This policy constitutes an official warning to each student.
