INTENTION TO RE-ENROL 2023
IMPORTANT
You should complete this form in order to declare whether you wish to return to the Bachelor of Fine Art or Master of Fine Art course after a period of approved Course Leave.
STUDIO SPECIALISATION ALLOCATION
As places in studio specialisations are limited students on continuous enrolment have priority for studio specialisation allocation. Once continuing students have been allocated we can then allocate returning course leave students to studio specialisations.
Whilst we endeavour to find places for all those who wish to study, we cannot guarantee a studio specialisation places and if place are not immediately available, we may need to operate a waitlist. This process can take some time and places can become available even after the start of semester. However we shall confirm your allocation as soon as we are able. Feel free to contact us for update at any time.
Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.
AHT ELECTIVE ALLOCATION
If you are returning from Course Leave for entry into Second or Third Year of the BFA degree, you will also need to complete the appropriate subject selection process in order to be allocated an AHT elective for Semester 1. Some returning Second Year students may also need to be allocated to a Studio Specialisation. You will be sent the appropriate forms by Student Services in due course, once you declare that you will be returning.
NOTE:
Please note that completion of this form does not constitute enrolment.
You will still need to present for enrolment in person during the prescribed enrolment period that is relevant to your year group. All students returning from Course Leave will be registered to receive further information regarding Enrolment for 2023 upon completion and submission of this form.
Students should ensure that they will be available for enrolment for the month of February 2023. Failure to present for enrolment during this time, without prior notification to Student Services, will incur a $200 late enrolment penalty fee.
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: THURSDAY 1 DECEMBER 2022
In June, we celebrate World Pride Month. Like many other culturally significant times, it’s a month that’s meaningful to our community and the Oxford precinct we are part of.
In 2015, NAS alum Todd Fuller (@fuller_todd) sent members of the public black and white drawings depicting two men engaged in a passionate kiss. The participants were encouraged to respond to the image by colouring in the figures, with the resulting images compiled by Fuller into a mixed media video animation.
Fuller gifted this work to the National Art School Collection, a collection that performs a major role within the National Art School as both a teaching resource and a historical record. Visit our website to find out more about the works in our collection.
