Becoming a Subscriber: Independent Art Schools

Classification & Fees

There are five levels of classification for independent art colleges and universities: Very Large, Large, Medium, Small, and Very Small. The classifications are based on full-time student enrollment (FTE).

Full–Time Enrollment	ARTstor Classification
2000 and above	Very Large
800–1999	Large
500–799	Medium
200–499	Small
1–199	Very Small

In cases where a school's FTE falls between classes we may use the library's materials budget and number of active serials to determine a more specific ARTstor class.
