During your 6-week intensive Summer Session, MICA offers a complete access to a variety of facilities to enhance your academic and studio practice.
View a complete list of facilities here available to students: hours, training sessions, contact information, and procedures for access.
Get Your MICA ID!
Your MICA ID is your passport to campus. You'll use it to access buildings, resources, parking, and more!
New Students
Submit your digital photo for your MICARD (your student identification card) by ** Monday, June 3rd ** and your card will be ready and waiting for you when you arrive!
How do I submit my digital photo?
Don't be like Grumpy Cat Mona Lisa. Make sure your photo fits the requirements below!
Use a digital camera/smart phone and have someone take a color photo of you against a solid background. The picture should be only of yourself from the neck up, or it will not be accepted.
Since ID cards are fairly small, we need to have as much of your face clearly visible in the picture as possible. Please do not wear sunglasses, hats, or other props for the photo. If photo is exaggerated in any way, it will not be accepted.
Take the picture in PORTRAIT orientation (in other words, in a passport/ vertical orientation). Once you have taken the picture and are satisfied that it is clear and sharp, transfer it to your computer.
Send your image as a .JPEG - low resolution (72 dpi) and about 640 X 480 pixels
You can then send it as an attachment in an email to idcards@mica.edu. Please send us:
Your full name
Please specify you are a Graduate student
Where you will be living (i.e., Meyerhoff House or Off-Campus)
Your date of birth

Shipping packages to campus?
Students in On-Campus Housing
Packages and letter mail will be accepted for students living in on-campus housing at their housing address. This way, any mail will be forwarded to your home address after the end of the Summer Session. Any packages sent to Meyerhoff House before arriving on campus should be scheduled to be delivered after 6/13 to ensure packages will not be forwarded to home addresses.
All mail will arrive and be held at Postal and Print in the Bunting Building, 1st floor. You will be notified by email when packages arrive, but letters will need to be picked up. Postal and Print is open from 8:30am - 5pm M-F.
The on-campus housing address this summer is as follows:
Student's Name
140 West Lafayette Avenue
Meyerhoff House, MICA Apt. ___
Baltimore, MD 21217
Students living Off-Campus
The Graduate Office receives and signs for graduate student parcels and packages as a courtesy. Only small parcels and packages will be accepted (no letters, postcards or large envelopes). Please also refrain from ordering perishable items. Letters and perishable items should be delivered directly to your residence, and will be refused or returned to sender if delivered to Graduate Studies.
Deliveries of freight shipments, oversize or heavy materials, such as lumber, for your studio work must be coordinated with the shipper for a specific time window that you must be present to receive. Any freight shipments that arrive when you are not present will be refused and returned. With you present at the delivery, the freight companies will usually get it in the door, but it is up to you to get it to your assigned workspace.
Once a day on weekdays, a MICA Postal & Print employee will scan all of the newly arrived packages and generate an email from Pitney Bowes, informing you of the package's arrival on campus. When you receive a package notification from Pitney Bowes, please come to Graduate Studies right away to retrieve your package. Packages left for more than 10 days will be returned to sender.
As always, neither MICA Postal & Print nor the Graduate Office is not responsible for lost, stolen or damaged packages. We extend this as a courtesy to students and recommend limiting packages to materials you use in your studio.
Address your packages as follows:
Student's Name
c/o MICA Graduate Studies
131 W North Ave
Baltimore, MD 21201-5807
Postal and Print is open from 8:30am - 5pm Monday through Friday, and is located on the main floor of the Bunting Building.
