Modelling at NSCAD

Work conditions: Every effort is made to provide a comfortable and private environment. It is the policy of the University that models who are not able to arrive on time for classes should contact the instructor as soon as possible. Models that demonstrate a pattern of tardiness or absences will not be contacted for future employment. Please keep in mind the instructors must conduct classes during your sessions and will have an expectation of professionalism.
Information for Life Models
General Information: Models are paid uniformly throughout the College a wage of $20.00 / hour plus 4% vacation pay (minus usual Revenue Canada deductions). The Payroll office will direct deposit all payments on the 15th and 30th of each month. Paychecks cannot be issued. Pay periods run from the 1st to 15th and again from the 16th to the end of each month (eg: work performed between the 1st and 15th will be directly deposited on the 30th of the month and work performed between the 16th and month end will be directly deposited on the 15th of the following month). As the models’ population and requirements for models vary, it will be impossible to accurately predict the hours of work available to any individual. The instructor will be responsible for submitting a completed time-sheet to the Division Chair for payment approval. Models Information: Models should give at least two days notice of cancellation if unable to keep a scheduled session (except in emergencies). Please do not accept any session that you are not able to commit to completing. Models are asked to be in the studio and ready to work by the scheduled time; this may mean arriving a few minutes early in order to find the studio and get changed. Bookings will usually be through email with as much advanced notice as possible. All bookings for NSCAD classes are made through the Academic Administrative Assistant only and not through the instructors directly. Information for Inexperienced models: It is a good idea to practice, standing, sitting, etc. on a floor or unpadded chair before your first working day. Weight should always be distributed as evenly as possible, even when the pose involves twisting or leaning. Ask yourself if you can maintain a particular pose for 25 minutes without pain or stress. Practicing how to hold your poses, including simple gestures, will help you determine your limits and make you better prepared for your first session. Length of Classes and Poses: Classes may be 2 – 5 hours long, with poses anywhere from 5 seconds to 5 hours. The name and email of the instructor who you will be working with will be sent to you in case you have questions about the duration and number of poses required for the class or type of draping if the session is clothed. Typically, drawing classes tend to cycle through shorter poses and are usually less strenuous than sitting for a long continuous pose as in painting classes. Models are given a break usually about half way through the session. Working Conditions and Requests for Change: We endeavor to make the studios and comfortable as possible for everyone in a class but sometimes, depending on the season, the climate can be a little out of our control. If you find the conditions a little uncomfortable, please let the instructor know so they can make adjustments. Extra heaters, fans, pillows, supports, privacy screens, breaks, etc. can all be provided by the instructor if needed.
