There will always be staff members present to release your students during pick up.  If you do not choose Unescorted Dismissal, you will need to pick up your student from the Sharp lobby. Please have the pick up pass ready. If you choose Unescorted Dismissal, your student will be able to exit the building to meet you independently at the time of dismissal.

• Saturday AM Pick-Up is at 12:00 pm

• Saturday PM Pick-Up is at 4:00 pm

For Summer Classes:

• Afternoon pickup is at 4:00 PM every day.

• **Please note, due to the volume of summer, we do not have the flexibility to accommodate last-minute changes in early pickups after 3:30.**

Students Enrolled in Both Morning and Afternoon Classes (During Fall and Spring)

Continuing Studies staff does not supervise lunch (12:00 pm –1:00 pm) for students enrolled in morning and afternoon classes. These students must either have unescorted dismissal or have a caregiver pick them up at 12:00 pm before their 1:00 pm class. 

Students staying on campus for lunch can eat at the cafe on the 2nd floor of the Sharp Building. Campus cafes accept credit cards, debit cards, or ARTICard payments. Teaching assistants are available to assist students in loading cash onto their ARTICard during snack time.
