This is a great class for first-year students interested in taking a studio art course. Even though the waitlist might be long for this course, you still have a chance of getting in as we have saved some spots for first-year registration. We will be enrolling first-year students off the waitlist beginning July 17, 2024.There is an enrollment limit of 0 so that we can prioritize our majors and minors getting into this course. If you have not declared your major or minor, reach out to Lisa Pannella (pannella@brandeis.edu) to express your interest in enrolling AFTER you have placed yourself on the waitlist. We cannot guarantee your enrollment though and encourage students to declare to avoid this in the future. Please do not contact the faculty member teaching the course about enrolling as the administrative staff is enrolling students throughout early registration. Additional questions? Reach out to Lisa Pannella.
