Special events for admitted students The hard work is over—for now. Not only have you completed your application, you have given us insight into who you are as a thinker and a maker. And, although we’ve said it before, congratulations on being admitted to the nation’s most influential art and design school. It is an accomplishment of which you and your family should be proud. Now it’s time to dive in, learn more about us, and make sure ALL of your questions are answered. To help you and those assisting in your college selection process, we’re providing multiple opportunities to meet with us, get to know your peers, and determine whether we are a good fit for you. We look forward to seeing you, and please do not hesitate to contact us in the meantime with any questions you may have!
QUESTIONS? 800.232.7242 | 1.312.629.6100 | ugadmiss@saic.edu
To answer these questions and more, we have provided a variety of programming — from our Regional Admitted Student Receptions where you will meet peers from your area to Artbash, your opportunity to be among the first to select your courses for the Fall 2026 semester! Throughout these experiences, you will also have the opportunity to talk to current students, their parents, and recent alums. Equally important, you get to meet your peers and fellow members of the creative community you will be joining in Fall 2026. Remember, these are the people you may need to borrow art supplies from in the future, so get their information and keep in touch!

Now that you are an admitted student, no doubt you have a lot of questions — what classes do I take my first year? What is housing like? Do you offer internships and study abroad? What about financial aid?
