Welcome to the Summer Semester!  

Summer Semester Welcome Video with COVID-19 Updates

We encourage you to watch the Summer Semester Welcome Video with COVID-19 Updates.  The video is 11 minutes long and describes expectations for hybrid students who will be attending in-person classes on-campus. 

All are encouraged to read recent communication with the NYFA LA community that  includes Summer Semester Updates and Frequently Asked Questions. 

Summer Semester 2021 

Classes begin Monday, May 10, 2021! This includes limited in-person, on-campus classes, in addition to some off-site productions or production workshops. 

• Summer Semester 2021 will be a hybrid of in-person and remote learning.

On-Campus Expectations

It’s been over a year since most of us have been on-campus in-person.  We made a handy guide to give hybrid students returning to in-person activities on-campus some essential expectations. Following these expectations will help NYFA LA maintain a safe and healthy community, and increase the likelihood we will get to maintain in-person activities on-campus.

Curious about how to get around campus, and where to find everything? Check out the Virtual Video Tour of the NYFA LA Campus. For more detailed information on safety precautions, check out the NYFA LA Safety On-Campus expectations.  

If you have any questions about the information in this LA Campus Update, please email RemoteLearningLA@nyfa.edu.
