What’s Changing?
Our course numbers are changing, but the great course offerings are not. For example, our Introduction to Painting course, formerly VAS 2216A/B, is still being offered, but has a new course number: SA 2620A/B.

I’m a current western student who has already taken VAS & VAH courses, what does this mean for me?
If you’re a returning student, your VAS and VAH courses will remain on your transcript and you will continue to complete your current module. Your future courses may have different course numbers, but your module requirements have not changed.
I still have questions!
