Instructor Access

Students should contact their studio teachers to determine if your lessons will be in-person, online, or blended (some in-person, some online).

Generally, all lessons take place in the Centre for the Arts at the University of Lethbridge. There are many full-time instructors of studio that can be available to students outside of the scheduled lesson time.

There are also several part-time studio teachers, some of whom travel to the university to offer lessons. Some part-time studio instructors do not travel to the university to offer lessons. In these cases, students will be required to travel to their studio teacher for lessons. Please consult your studio teacher and the studio coordinator for more information.

With regards to part-time teachers, students may not have in-person access to their teachers beyond the lesson time. Students should speak to their respective teacher about availability outside the lesson time.
