Alumni
Benefits and Resources
When you graduate from SCAD, you become a member of the university's alumni organization, which offers you a variety of benefits and the personal attention you have come to expect from SCAD. Wherever you live, you're encouraged to participate in the university's continuing growth and progress. You're also eligible for the benefits listed below.
Access to state-of-the-art facilities
You may use the Jen Library in Savannah or the Atlanta library free of charge. As an alumnus or alumna, you may check two books at a time for a two-week (14-day) period. You may not use electronic equipment for any purpose other than education.
For three months after you graduate, you may use labs and facilities at no charge (except those in the furniture design department, which charges a small fee) to complete your portfolio.

Alumni decal
Show your pride and achievement with a SCAD alumni decal, which you receive as a graduating student.
Alumni events
The alumni relations office holds an Alumni Weekend each year during Sidewalk Arts Festival. We encourage you to join us for this Savannah event, which includes a reception for you and your guests, an alumni awards ceremony, and, of course, SCAD's chalk-drawing competition in Forsyth Park.
You're welcome to visit the university any other time during the year as well. Attend gallery openings and guest lectures, exhibit your work, participate in competitions, and cheer on the Bees at SCAD athletics events. Any event or program that's free for current SCAD students is also free for you when you show a valid SCAD alumni ID. If you're interested in receiving invitations to special events, fill out the alumni profile.
