Building a plan is key
Physical Health Resources
The location of a program and the unique needs of each student will define a plan of action.
Taking Care of Yourself inside and out
Mental Health Resources
Assessing stressors and keeping lines of communication open are key. The Global Education Office encourages students to work with us to assure student needs and plans of action can be developed in advance.
Making Good Choices and Keeping Secure
Staying Safe
Assuring the personal safety of students is often a combination of research, planning, and good decision making. Note: The MICA Student Code of Conduct remains in effect for all MICA students on off-campus programming. This includes the requirement of age 21+ for all alcohol consumption regardless of the laws within the host country.
When, where, and why
In the Event of an Emergency
MICA provides the below steps to take in the event of an emergency on off-campus programming.
1.) Stay calm and stay in communication with your host university / program, family / loved one, and MICA's Global Education Office. The MICA Campus Safety Office will be able to reach MICA staff after hours in the event of a "911 - level" emergency.
2.) Continue to follow the rules, regulations, and recommendations of your host university / program as well as the host government / local authorities.
3.) Utilize the MICA international insurance policy (CISI) as is appropriate and needed.
