What is RMCAD Renew?

Graduates of RMCAD’s BFA degree programs may audit (attend without grade or credit) most current course offerings (online or on campus) within their original degree program with no cost for tuition.

  • Alumni may take courses that start with their major’s course prefix. For example, Animation Alumni may take any course labeled with “AN”.
  • Alumni may take a Renew course in their home program’s area of specialization, including courses outside their original area of specialization. For example, an Illustration student who specialized in Concept Art may take a course in Children’s Book Illustration. Similarly, Art Education students may take a Renew course within any of the program’s areas of emphasis.
  • Alumni are responsible for any tool kit, supplies, books, or software charges.
  • Internships are not available for RMCAD Renew participants.
  • Auditing courses is subject to enrollment and space availability.
  • Alumni must be in good standing with the College, as detailed in the Admittance / Acceptance Policy in this Catalog.
  • Alumni may take courses on-ground or online, provided those courses are within their original major course prefix(es).
  • Alumni may not audit courses through Renew to complete work for professional purposes. Renew is for educational advancement only.
  • Alumni may audit 1 course per 8-week term through Renew, not to exceed 3 courses in any calendar year.
  • Alumni must meet the same course requirements as an enrolled student, and adequate performance in Renew courses is required. Faculty reserve the right to request dismissal through the Department Chair, the Dean of Students, or the Vice President of Academic Affairs if the enrolled Alumnus is not meeting course criteria including attendance and participation.
  • Alumni attending on-ground courses must purchase a RMCAD Alumni ID Badge at the current cost. This ID card will have similar but limited access to campus buildings and future events.
  1. Contact The Office of Career + Alumni Services to request course enrollment up to two weeks before session start date. Career + Alumni Services will provide you with the RMCAD Renew Registration From.
  2. Complete RMCAD Renew Registration form and submit to The Office of Career + Alumni Services.
  3. The Office of Career + Alumni Services will process the Renew Request with The Registrar’s Office. (**note: please be patient as it takes time to confirm course availability)
  4. Alumnus will then be notified if Renew course was approved or declined. Notification will include next steps to obtaining an alumni pass if taking course on campus, or steps to ensure they have access to the LMS.
