Lab Hours

What are Lab Hours?

Hours spent after school and weekends that enrich a students experience in and appreciation of the Arts.

A minimum of five Lab Hours are due by the end of each marking period.

Every 5 Lab Hours above the required 5 will add 1 grade point in the major per marking period.
