Shop Safety Orientations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

REQUIRED TO USE THE SHOP!<\/strong> Click below to register for upcoming classes. Orientations are offered in Fall & Spring Semesters and last for approximately 1.5 hours. Focuses primarily on the woodworking side of the shop, with brief overviews of metal and welding areas. Orientations are posted for the entire semester. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOTES<\/strong>: Orientations are front-loaded at the beginning of the semesters and then taper off, make sure you sign up as soon as possible. Orientations will often not be given on a one-on-one basis as it is<\/em> intensive for staff and disruptive to shop use. <\/em>If you are the only one in any given orientation class, please ask fellow classmates if anyone else needs orientation to join you. Otherwise, you may be asked to reschedule to a later date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please wear closed-toed shoes to orientation!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Badge Access for Shop Doors: <\/strong>The shop employs badge access<\/span><\/strong> using your Campus ID card. Your credentials will not be entered into the system without in-person safety orientation completion starting Spring 2024, or completing an attestation form that you have completed Safety Orientation in a prior semester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

F.Y.E. (First Year Experience)- <\/strong>All incoming first-years into the College of Design are required<\/em> to undergo FYE in the Fall. FYE students have their own specialized orientations that are coordinated with the Materials Lab staff and will occur 8\/27 or 9\/2 of Fall Semester 2025. All FYE participants must wait<\/strong> and take orientation at this time. They will not be able to access the shop until that time.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
