The MICA Office of Student Affairs is here to support the academic and co-curricular success of all MICA graduate and undergraduate students. In addition to providing supervision and coordination for the departments of Residence Life, Student Activities, Diversity and Intercultural Development, the Counseling Center, Career Development, and Community Arts Partnerships, the office also acts as a liaison for students to several key offices on campus including Student Accounts, Campus Safety, Mt. Royal Medical Associates, and Dining Services.
Student Affairs offers individual support to students who need assistance succeeding within the art college environment, including consultation on medical and personal issues affecting academic performance. Generally speaking, if a student is not sure where to turn for support or information, Student Affairs is the right place to start; the office is a helpful place to ask general questions and determine what type of assistance is available. Student Affairs also coordinates the resolution of student disciplinary cases.
The Office of Student Affairs administers the Student Affairs Community Service Fund, which is dedicated to providing resources for students engaged in service, volunteerism, community art, and service learning opportunities. The fund is available for co-curricular, student-driven initiatives. For more information download the application form or contact the office directly.
