I submitted my application, why have I not heard from you?
We send a response to students in the mail about a month after an application deadline. If you have not heard from us, we may not have your correct address. If it’s more than a month after the deadline and you haven’t heard from us, you can call or email to make sure we have your correct information.
Was I (or my student) accepted into the program for next semester?
Newly accepted students are listed here.
I was accepted into Ryman Arts, but my artwork was not returned, even though I included postage and packaging.
We prefer to keep the artwork of our new students, so that we can compare their work before and after their time at Ryman Arts. If you need the artwork back for college applications or AP portfolio, let us know and we will return it.
I was not accepted into the program and I did not include postage and packaging – can I still have my application drawings back?
Yes, you can mail us correct postage and packaging, or you can come to the office to pick it up.
Why was I declined by Ryman Arts? Can I apply again?
We turn away many qualified students every semester for reasons ranging from space limitation to over-representation from one high school. Absolutely, you are welcome to apply again. As long as you are a high school student, you can apply to Ryman Arts. Keep drawing from observation and consider applying again!
I do not live close to USC, how can I get to class?
You can take public transportation, and if you submit your ticket receipts to us; we will reimburse you. Or you can carpool with someone who lives near you; we will do our best to match up carpool partners.
