General Information

THE FIDM STORE

The FIDM Museum was organized as a nonprofit in 1978 to provide a research facility of garments and vi-sual materials to serve the needs of students, scholars, designers, and the public. Housed within the Los Ange-les campus, the 15,000 piece collection represents over 300 years of fashion history, including haute couture and ready-to-wear, traditional dress, film costumes, acces-sories, jewelry, textiles, fragrance, and ephemera.

FIDM TOTE BAG

The Museum Collections are split into two major parts: the Permanent Collection, used for exhibi-tion and research; and the Study Collection, used by students for hands-on inspection. The Study Collection is divided between both FIDM campuses: Los Angeles and Orange County. The collections are constantly researched, exhibited, and published nationally and internationally.

FIDMPRINTS

Color and black/white printing and copying are avail-able for a fee in the Library/IDEA Center with a valid FIDM Student Photo ID card.

The FIDM Store stocks college-related reference books, supplies, notebooks, art materials, stationery, and gifts. The store also sells FIDM-branded clothing, accesso-ries, tote bags, and gifts made especially for FIDM. The store hours are posted on each campus. The website is the FIDM store.com.

The FIDM tote bag is provided to students during the first quarter of each contracted program. Tote bag dis-tribution days and hours are posted quarterly. Addition-al FIDM tote bags may be purchased in the FIDM Store.

STUDENT PHOTO IDENTIFICATION CARD

FIDM SCHOLARSHIP FOUNDATION & FIDM SCHOLARSHIP STORE The FIDM Scholarship Foundation Inc. was established in 1978, with the sole purpose of helping students and their families afford a college education. We do that in two ways: first, through store sales at the FIDM Scholarship Store, and second, by providing scholarship listings to students.

Located on the Los Angeles campus, the FIDM Scholarship Store is open to the public and sells mer-chandise donated by top fashion companies. All prices are below wholesale and proceeds from store sales generate scholarships for current FIDM Students.

STUDENT LOUNGE

We also provide information about scholarships from organizations outside of FIDM. An up-to-date list, including links to applications, can be found at FIDM scholarshipfoundation.org . The site is updated weekly so check back often.

Each FIDM campus has a Student Lounge. This is a place to eat lunch, catch up on homework, get infor-mation, participate in campus events and activities, or to relax. Microwaves and vending machines are also available for student use.

Each campus has a Lost & Found. Students should see the receptionist on their campus.

All current students must display their FIDM Student Photo ID along with a valid quarter sticker while on campus. This card is required for access to any FIDM campus, and it allows students to check out books and DVDs in the Library, pick up books and supplies from the Bookroom, print in the Library/IDEA Center and computer labs, and receive student discounts around town. The fee for a lost FIDM Student Photo ID is $10.

STUDENT NEWSLETTER

Published on each campus, the Student Newsletter contains important announcements from all FIDM Departments and can be found in the following places:
