NSCAD ID CARDS: All NSCAD students engaged in credit courses are required to have a valid NSCAD ID Card. The ID Card is required for evening/weekend access and for use of the NSCAD library. Student ID cards must be revalidated each semester that the student is registered at NSCAD and should be in the student’s possession at all times when s/he is on campus. Students should expect to present their ID cards to Security officers after hours and on weekends. Because the ID card is a picture ID, the student must be available during scheduled daytime hours to have her/his picture taken. There is no charge for a Student ID card. If the card is lost, there is a $10.00 charge for its replacement.
UPASS / BUS PASS: The NSCAD U-Pass is a special student transit pass. The U-Pass allows eligible students to unlimited use of Metro Transit Buses, Ferry, and Access-A-Bus. U-Passes are not valid for use of the Community Transit service. U-Passes shall be valid for Metro Link services with payment of the Metro Link fare premium each time Metro Link is used. The U-Pass will be valid from Sept-April and can be picked up in the student union (SUNSCAD) office.

University Policies
NSCAD University reserves the right to add, drop, or modify a course or courses. Therefore, students are advised that the contents of this publication are subject to change without notice, other than through the normal announcement procedures of the University, which include emailing students who have gained admission to a course which has been affected. Every student accepted for registration at NSCAD shall be deemed to have agreed to any such deletion, revision or addition to this publication whether made before or after said acceptance. NSCAD does not accept the responsibility for the loss or damage suffered or incurred by any student as a result of suspension or termination of services, courses or classes caused by reason of strikes, lockouts, riots, weather damage to University property or for any other cause beyond the reasonable control of the university.
NSCAD reserves the right to limit enrolment in any program. While the university will make every reasonable effort to offer classes as required within programs, prospective students should note that admission to a degree or other program does not guarantee admission to any given class. Students should select optional classes early in order to ensure that classes are taken at the most appropriate time within their schedule. In some fields of study, admission to upper level classes may require more than minimal standing in prerequisite classes.
At NSCAD, registration is guided by a set timetable of registration dates. In March of each year, “Credit Priority” registration is held for the coming Summer, Fall and Winter semesters. This allows students to make course selections for the upcoming year and obtain “priority status” according to the Credit Priority regulations. After this period, registration remains open for upcoming semesters until August 15, when there is a registration freeze until the first day of Fall classes. It is very important that students consult the Academic Calendar of Dates and the Registration Schedules to ensure that deadlines are not missed.
