So I'm all ready for Feb 7th... but what happens then?

[Forrest_I]

I've been accepted and my parents have made the payment for my Figure 1 online class, but when Feb 7th comes, what do I do? Is there a website I go to that livestreams the classes? Will an E-mail be sent to me telling me what to do? I'm just trying to get this all figured out now instead of figuring it out the day of the first class. Thanks

You should get a email containing the links to the streaming classes. The email will also contain links to the on demand after the classes are finished.

Welcome aboard.

Going to ask the same thing.

Thank you so much Kaffinated.

Is there a site or special forums or something, where Tad Students log into , to interact or show work?

[Forrest_I]

Thanks Kaffinated

And thanoss, I think there's a section meant for that in these forums.

We do have one. It would probably be given out by email or first day of class.
Its our own forum to interact with each other and post our assignments.

Excellent, thanks.

As I've stated before I'm a bit anxious with starting TAD (I'm enrolled full time)... and both happy at the same time for being a student and being able to interact with teachers and the gang.

I don't want to be nagging, I just want to make an assertive statement here: today is February 3, I thought by now we would have been emailed detailed instructions of forum passwords, online streaming passwords and other additional information regarding the other side-programs, like if we do have access and to what extent to the Visual Literacy Program and The Illustration Academy, and their respective passwords if applicable.

Setting all this up or providing all this info just on the 7th is in my opinion too late and not a very organized way of doing things.

[thanoss]

Hahaha Dan, yeah i was thinking the same thing, leaving it till the 7th, with different time zones as well, could cause all sorts of chaos. I was assuming it would be emailed the latest on Saturday, well I am hoping.

Thanks for your patience. Everything will be sent to you this week so you may begin classes and participate. Admissions are taking signups still so they are waiting until everyone is signed up. You will get a link to the classes as well as the forums link which to participate as stated above. Until then, just keep drawing and practicing. Things will roll quickly next week!

All TAD students will get access to the VLP next week once school starts. The illustration academy is not something that is given out, as it is the summer illustration program that is separate from TAD. The Visual Literacy Program is the online resource with all the valuable videos and additional critique and activity forums.

I am happy to see how anxious folks are. Is like waiting for Santa when I was 4. Hurry up!!

I'm very excited about finally starting! It's just a shame that I won't be able to get there live for the first days of school - 10 AM CST is 6 in the evening here in Finland, and I've got both work and other activities (figure drawing among them), so I'll just have to catch the first couple days on demand...

[fxEVo]

Well, most of class will happen midnight in Vietnam and I still try my best to catch up.

[thanoss]

Its not to bad for me, 8pm-2am for me, hope they give us some breaks in between or during classes though lol.

[JawadAyub]

I'll be studying at night aswell from 9pm to 2am and today is orientation i'm so excited

[Dan_Grr]

I'm going to attend live classes for half of the day, and the other half on the next day... no way I'm going to go up until XX in the morning to do it all in one go.

By the way, the TAD clarification class is starting now.
