The Practical
De-mounting of the Exhibition
After the exhibition is finished, all material from the exhibition must be de-mounted and removed. Projects that are left behind will be discarded.
The deadline for de-mounting is stated in the Diploma Calendar, normally this is the day after the last exhibition day.
Clean Workplace
The Diploma Studio must be cleaned and made ready for the next Diploma cohort within the deadline stated in the Diploma Calendar. You must clean the workplace, throw away rubbish and materials that will no longer be used and take all personal belongings with you.
Material left behind will be disposed of after the deadline.
AHO Access cards
The access cards will be deactivated by 15 February for students who complete their degree in January, and 25 June for students who complete their degree in June.
Digital Services
You will have access to the AHO's digital services such as Office 365 (email, Onedrive, Word etc.) and Box for up to 6 months after completing your degree, so you have time to download and transfer what you need to your private digital storage space.
