Safety and Security Policies

  1. Injury Illness and Prevention Plan Policy

When classes are in session all major entrances to the main building remain open. During holiday and vacation periods, the main building is accessible through the major entrances between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. on normal business days. Access at other times is through the loading dock door near the Campus Safety office. Students will be asked to present a valid CalArts ID card to sign in and out of the building.

During the academic year, access to certain rooms/spaces within the Institute may be restricted by the schools (e.g., costume shop, music practice rooms, editing rooms) and special keys or passes may be required. See individual school’s administrative assistants.

During the summer months, building and facilities access may be restricted. Use of practice rooms, studio spaces, equipment and other facilities is by specific approval of school offices and/or the administration. The facilities of the Institute are often committed to special events and groups during the summer months and students must not assume access to and use of the facilities.
