To help you get started with your transition to MICA, we have created a To-Do List with important action items and tasks for you to complete before you begin classes.
If you have any questions about items on your To-Do List, please email Orientation at orientation@mica.edu.

MICA is invested in the safety and care of our students. One of the steps that we take to do this, is for our incoming students to participate in online training to help reduce the risk of sexual violence. The training will give an overview of sexual violence and empowers students to take action to prevent harm. The training is called Not Anymore and will be sent to all incoming students via email. For any questions or concerns contact. Keri Watley at kwatley@mica.edu |
| 9/13 | Last day to waive participation in the MICA-sponsored student health insurance program. All students are required to have health insurance before they arrive on campus. If you do not have comparable, private coverage, then you must purchase the college-sponsored plan for $1,553. |
