The Creative Arts Students’ Association (CASA) is the student government of the Faculty of Fine Arts. An umbrella organization of the several department student associations (Dance, Design, Film, Fine Arts Cultural Studies, Music, Theatre and Visual Arts), CASA is run by, and for the benefit of, Fine Arts students.

CASA’s mandate includes the development and sponsorship of services and activities for Fine Arts students, providing support for student projects in the creative arts, and promoting communication and understanding among members of the Faculty and between the Faculty and other organizations.

Faculty Council

The Faculty of Fine Arts Council is the academic decision-making and governing body of the Faculty. All full-time Fine Arts faculty members, designated Administration and staff and student representatives are voting members of Faculty Council.

Faculty Council maintains numerous standing committees including: Academic Policy and Planning, Awards, Administrative Affairs and Arts and Technology. The Executive standing comittee coordinates the activities of Faculty Council and its related committees.

All legislation pertaining to the academic policy of the Faculty is developed at the committee level and approved by Council before being forwarded to the University Senate.
