In the case of severe weather, instructor illness or other unforeseen circumstances, we may need to cancel a class meeting. Notification of cancellation will be sent via email to the email account provided upon registration. Each class makeup date is posted on the course listing. If more than one makeup date is needed, lost instructional time may be made up by 1) adding 15-30 min. to the remaining class meetings and/or 2) making up lost time during the make-up day beyond the regularly scheduled hours of the class. Please note that students are not eligible for refunds in the case that a course meeting is cancelled and rescheduled during posted makeup times. COVID-19 Safety Guidelines Oklahoma Contemporary has taken steps to limit the possibility of transmission of COVID-19 in our facilities and at our events, but we cannot eliminate all possibility of exposure. Any visit to a public space carries inherent risk, and all visitors in our spaces voluntarily accept and assume that risk. Learn more about Oklahoma Contemporary’s COVID-19 general protocols here: https://oklahomacontemporary.org/discover/covid-protocols This spring, we will resume in-person instruction outdoors or in well-ventilated areas. Studio School has worked with public health experts to create guidelines for all staff, students and instructors. Precautions include, but are not limited to: • Masks worn over the mouth and nose are required at all times, including in the Leigh Ann and Paul Albers Outdoor Studio and other outdoor spaces. Students may remove their masks briefly while they are actively drinking. (Eating during courses is not permitted except in the case of Friday Night Series workshops.) • Your choice of mask should conform to current CDC guidelines: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/about- face-coverings.html • Temperature checks will take place upon arrival and anyone with a temperature over 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit will not be permitted to enter the Studios Building or Outdoor Studio. • If you think you have been exposed to COVID-19, follow CDC guidelines to prevent the spread to others: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/if- you-are-sick/quarantine.html • In-person courses will take place either outside in the Leigh Ann and Paul Albers Outdoor Studio or in the Flex Studio with the garage door open. Neither space will be climate controlled—please check the weather forecast before each meeting to ensure you’re dressed appropriately for the weather. • Students are not permitted in the Outdoor Studio or in the Studios Building except during class or a scheduled appointment (including Ceramics Open Studio times). Please do not arrive more than 15 minutes prior to class and be prepared to leave promptly after class. • With the exception of ceramics and metalsmithing courses, onsite student storage is not permitted due to COVID-19 safety concerns. We recommend sourcing a portable and durable container (i.e., a fishing tackle box or rolling suitcase) to transport your items between class meetings. • Ceramic students will need to schedule times for Open Studio Access and glazing in advance. Your instructor will provide more details at the beginning of your course. Back to Top | Questions? Email [email protected] 3 • Students will receive designated seating and working areas to maintain social distance. Please respect each other’s space at all times. • Hand sanitizer will be provided for frequent use, as well as disinfectant to sanitize shared equipment. • Only one person is allowed in the restroom at a time. Students must abide by the above guidelines as well as verbal instruction from Studio School staff or instructors. Students who do not follow these measures may be asked to leave the course without refund. Guidelines are subject to change at any time and we will do our best to promptly notify students of changes via email. Online Courses Due to the
