Orientation 2013

Orientation is the best way for your student to learn his or her way around MICA and Baltimore, providing guidance and resources pertaining to academics, involvement and support services. This year, Foundation Orientation (first-year undergraduates) is from August 29 - September 2, 2013. Orientation for International first-year students is August 26 - 28. Orientation for transfer students is August 31. (See right-hand sidebar for more important dates.)

While you are not required to register for Orientation, it is assumed that all incoming students will attend. Because of the tremendous amount of information disseminated during this period, Orientation is mandatory. In early August, you will receive a MICA Parent and Family Guide for the 2013-2014 school year in the mail with more information.

*Please direct questions regarding Orientation events to the Student Activities Office at 410-225-2284.
