To use the resources in the DFAS, students must take a DFAS Orientation either through a Digital Media class that has used the DFAS (such as Digital Photography, Digital Drawing/Painting, etc.) or during one of our scheduled Orientations.

DFAS Orientations are held in the Digital Fine Art Studio; 2nd Floor, Main Building - SF Campus.

All open drop-in orientations are on the DFAS Calendar. No advance reservation is required to attend. Orientations will run between 45 minutes to 1 hour in length. Faculty can also schedule a class orientation by emailing Johnny Galvan j.galvan@cca.edu
