The College maintains supervised exhibition space for displaying the work of students, faculty, and alumni of the College. A continuing series of group and individual shows are exhibited throughout the academic year in the Hemicycle, Alumni Exhibition Hall, and White Walls Gallery. Please see the Director of College Exhibitions (located in main college office) for more information about exhibition space.

College related accidents resulting in physical injury must be immediately reported to the security desk of the campus on which the accident occurs. The Corcoran has a student accident insurance policy that covers injuries that occur on campus or are College related. As soon as possible after the incident, see the Administrative Officer in the Business Office for a claim form and instructions.


One locker is provided free of charge to all degree students per academic year. Additional lockers may be rented for $20.00 per semester, on a space available basis through the Office of Student Accounts at the Downtown Campus and the Campus Administrator at the Georgetown Campus.
By renting a locker, you agree to all terms stated on the Locker Label.

Students are responsible for providing their own combination lock to secure the materials inside their lockers. Art supplies and personal belongings may be stored in Corcoran lockers as long as your locker label is valid. After the label’s expiration date has passed; students must either renew their label or completely clean out their locker. Any items left by a student who is not enrolled will be disposed of in the general clean-up following each semester.

If necessary, students may be fined $10.00 for the disposal of work left behind (in any Corcoran location) and a Student Accounts “Hold” will be placed on their accounts until these charges are reconciled. Please be careful of any other student work and property when removing your own work.
The Corcoran will not be responsible for any work and personal property left in lockers, classrooms and studios during the academic year. We also will not be responsible for replacing any combination lock that may have to be destroyed to clean a locker and dispose of its contents.



Articles found in the Downtown or H Street buildings should be turned in to the E Street Security desk, where lost articles can be recovered. Lost and found articles in Georgetown should be turned in or picked up at the Georgetown Security Desk.
