Coronavirus (COVID-19) Information
(Last updated May 4, 2022)
Vermont College of Fine Arts is planning for full on-campus residencies moving forward, beginning with the April Graphic Design and Film residencies and continuing through the summer. Each program will have the ability for remote participation in the residency for those student unable to attend the on-campus residency. Our guidelines for the on-campus residencies are linked below. Throughout the pandemic the COVID-19 landscape has changed, and our responses have changed, as well. We continue to monitor the guidance from the CDC and Vermont Department of Health. VCFA reserves the right to update our guidelines accordingly given changing information, and always with our focus on the safety and well-being of our whole VCFA community and the broader communities in which we all live. Should we make changes or adjustments to our guidelines, we will inform the college community as necessary.
