academic year 2010-2011 - Gerrit Rietveld Academie

should discuss the plans beforehand with the workshop manager
and the lecturer concerned.
d. Academy space
Students may also use the so-called ‘Academy spaces’ during
opening hours of the buildings in Fred Roeskestraat.
The Executive Board determines the allocation of the Academy
spaces among the various departments.
The department coordinator allocates the Academy space to a
student for a certain period of time and the coordinator may
also determine that the space is to be shared during the week
with another student from a different department or a different
study year.
The allocation within the departments applies for the current
academic year only; Academy spaces are reallocated every year.
The coordinator is also the person responsible for allocating
the Academy space during the course of the academic year.
Upon allocation of Academy space, the student signs a contract
with which he/she agrees to the obligations and conditions
imposed in the contract. The student will also be required to
provide a copy of his/her personal liability insurance policy.
12.5 Information provision for students
Student Affairs supplies students with general information of
an administrative and organisational nature by means of a
periodically published electronic newsletter. Information for
specific groups and/or individuals is additionally distributed
by e-mail or post.
Information on the course programme and departmental
activities is distributed by the department in whichever way
it sees fit.
Students of the Gerrit Rietveld Academie are also subscribed
on enrolment to a news service provided by the academy
(Tractaat). This channel is used to provide information
relevant to the course about exhibitions and events. Students
can always cancel the subscription to the service if they do
not wish to receive this information.
Students must inform the administration department of any
changes of (electronic) address.
13. HOUSE RULES
Every member of the academy is expected to behave responsibly
towards each other and the environment. This also applies to
the use of the buildings and the facilities. Rules and
instructions may be given both verbally and in writing by the
authorised staff (Facility Services, e.g. the caretakers)and
