CVPA Fall Semester Info
CVPA Fall Semester Info
The University is working to support students, staff, and faculty affected by the relocation of Star Store facilities.
View information on relocation, student services, recent university communications.
On August 14, 2023, after state funding that supported UMass Dartmouth’s presence in the Star Store was withdrawn, the university announced that the building in downtown New Bedford would no longer house courses or support University activities.
The Star Store is a wonderful facility, and we know that this unexpected news, coming right before the start of a new academic year, has been very disappointing for many CVPA students, faculty, and staff. We are doing all we can to support the affected students, staff, and faculty. We are working around the clock to ensure that we can relocate classrooms, studios, equipment, supplies, and artwork to other appropriate locations before the fall semester begins.
Information on relocation, student services, campus communications, and more will be added to this website as it becomes available.
