Registering for an UG Class (300 level and above) MFA, MA and Post-Bac students can add an UG course to their schedule ONLY after permission is obtained from the course instructor. Graduate students must send an email to the course instructor requesting permission to enroll. Once permission is given, forward the email to the Office of Graduate Studies. The Graduate Advisor will complete the Registration Permission Form on the student’s behalf. The course will then appear in the schedule within a few days. Permission to Overload a Course If a course is listed as full, graduate students can also ask permission from the instructor to overload a course. Once a student has obtained permission from the instructor, forward the email to the Office of Graduate Studies. Keep in mind that not all instructors are willing to take students beyond the enrollment cap. Professional & Continuing Studies MFA and MA students may take one credit-bearing course per semester in the continuing studies program during the regular academic year on a space available basis. Tuition is not charged as long as the student is enrolled in at least 12 credits in a degree program, and the additional credits in continuing studies will not cause the student to exceed 19.5 credits. Students may be subject to additional fees. All students, regardless of status, must pay for non-credit classes. Academic Cooperation Agreement / Baltimore Student Exchange Program MICA students may expand their educational experiences by enrolling in the Baltimore Student Exchange program with Coppin State, The Johns Hopkins University, Goucher College, College of Notre Dame of Maryland, Peabody Institute, University of Baltimore, UMBC, Towson University, Morgan State University, Baltimore Hebrew College, Stevenson University or Loyola College on a space-available basis. Courses not offered by MICA may be taken at these institutions. Full-time graduate students can take two courses with approval of program director and advisor per academic year. Students are subject to the rules and regulations of the host college. The host college does not charge tuition, but students may be subject to course fees. Students who wish to take courses at any of these institutions must submit an Academic Cooperation Agreement form through Enrollment Services. Independent Study Graduate students are limited to two independent study courses per semester (6 credits). A completed Independent Study contract must be submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies during registration or within the semester’s add period.

Parking Parking in college lots requires a parking permit (available from Campus Safety). Parking is issued on a first-come, first-served basis. A parking permit, however, does not guarantee a parking space, but students who arrive early generally park without difficulty. Students must be in a campus building while parked on campus. With the exception of the Commons Lot, overnight parking on campus is not permitted. MICA is not responsible for damage to vehicles kept on the lot or for the theft of valuables left in cars. Parking in Bolton Hill Parking on many streets in Bolton Hill is restricted to two-hour parking as posted. Parking regulations are strictly enforced in the area and violations carry fines from $12–60. If you are a resident of Bolton Hill, you are eligible for a parking permit from the city. You do not need to have Maryland license tags to obtain a city permit. For information about parking permits, contact Baltimore City’s Office of Parking Permits at 443-573-2800 or apply online at www.baltimoreprefparking.com. Non-resident parking Off-Campus students may obtain a MICA general parking permit for the Mount Royal Station Parking Lot and/or the Studio Center Lot for $60 per academic year. After 4:30 p.m. and on holidays and weekends, students with a general parking permit may also park in the Bunting Lots.

Graduate Teaching Internships Teaching Internships Stacey McKenna, GTI Instructor/Coordinator gradintern@mica.edu MICA’s Graduate Internship Program provides first and second year MFA students the opportunity to take on technical and pedagogical roles within our institution, learning from real-world experiences typical of teachers and leaders in contemporary academic communities. In coordinating the placement of graduates in these many roles, the GIP Program supports aspects of curriculum development, tool maintenance and safety, and undergraduate pedagogy. While these internships greatly enrich the students’ graduate school experience and better prepares them for post-graduate professional life, MICA also awards stipends to the interns in recognition of the knowledge, skill and time they contribute. A Graduate Teaching Intern (GTI) works in an undergraduate course under the supervision of a faculty member. All graduate students are eligible to intern in any course for which they are not also enrolled as a student. Graduate Teaching Interns are expected to be present for every class meeting and to collaborate with the mentoring instructor, working an average of five hours per week. • First-year graduate students must intern in a 100-level or Foundation course (Core requirement or Foundation elective as defined by the Academic Bulletin) for either the fall or spring semesters of their first year. • Due to the responsibilities and time commitment required of interns, it is recommended that graduate students undertake no more than two internships per semester. • It is highly recommended that GTIs take the course Philosophy and Pedagogy of Post-secondary Visual Arts Education. For graduate students wishing to earn the Certificate in the College Teaching of Art (see next page), this course is required. • All Post-Bacs need permission from their Director to undertake any GTI. A Graduate Research Assistant (GRA) conducts research under faculty guidance for projects that have been pre-approved by the Provost, such as new course development, new program development, advanced digital technology laboratory, new project research and media services. Graduate Technical Assistants (GTA) are technical advisors in select undergraduate courses that require specialized knowledge and/or require hazardous tools and materials. These graduate students do not plan or implement instruction of any kind, nor do they lead lectures or critiques.
66
The Certificate in College Teaching of Art The Certificate in the College Teaching of Art has 3 requirements: 1. Successful completion of three Graduate Teaching Internships (GTI). 2. Successful completion of the course Philosophy & Pedagogy of Post-secondary Visual Arts Education (see below), a 3-credit graduate critical studies seminar. 3. Written recommendations from two of the graduate student’s GTI mentoring faculty. If all of the above requirements are met, graduate students will earn the Certificate in the College Teaching of Art. A notation representing successful completion of the certificate will appear on students’ official transcripts and in the graduation ceremony program. Note: MFACA students complete a community-based teaching experience that is built into their program. Therefore MFACA students need only complete two MICA GTIs to qualify for the Certificate in the College Teaching of Art in addition to the Philosophy & Pedagogy course. Philosophy & Pedagogy of Post-Secondary Visual Arts Education This seminar course is designed to provide graduate students who wish to become teachers and leaders in the field of post-secondary visual arts education a better understanding of the open questions that exist within contemporary studio art education. Students will conduct action research, converse with guest faculty, read influential philosophical texts and create a professional teaching portfolio. These explorations will provide a background for students to reflect on—and look critically at—their own experiences as practicing artists, students of studio art and teaching interns in undergraduate courses.
67
GTI Processes GTI Placement Process • One week prior to the start of each semester, immediately after Graduate Student Orientation, the GIP Coordinator will send, via e-mail, a complete list of Internship opportunities to graduate students. • Graduate students will review the list and contact faculty to ask for an interview. • Faculty will interview interested graduate students and decide with whom they would like to work. • Once a faculty member has hired a graduate student, that student contacts the Coordinator of the Graduate Internship Program. • The Coordinator provides a Professional Development Action Form to the graduate student, who then completes the form by the stated deadline, usually the third week of the semester. • The Coordinator processes the student’s Professional Development Action Form, thus formalizing the Internship hire and allowing the graduate student to be paid. GTI Assessment Process • Student completes a confidential Graduate Feedback Form, assessing the experience with a faculty member • Faculty member completes a confidential Faculty Feedback Form, assessing the experience with the student • The Coordinator maintains an ongoing database of all GTI placements and works with the Dean of Academic Services to make recommendations for adjustments and improvements to the program
Student Action Form Professional Development Student Action Form MICA Graduate Internship Program This form may be completed only after a faculty member has asked you to work with them. If you will be engaging in more than one opportunity, you must complete a separate form for each. These forms must be processed before you can be paid.

GTI Possible Progression in a Classroom Instructors may adapt this template to their particular teaching styles, course content and schedule. 1st quarter For the first two weeks of the semester, interns should observe all parts of the class process, including setup, lectures, technical demonstrations, individual student conferences, critiques and grading assessments. For the second two weeks, interns could begin to participate and assist in most parts of the class process, perhaps with the exception of grading. 2nd quarter • Interns could prepare and present a slide lecture, technical demonstration, or similar—for which the mentoring teacher may mandate the parameters. • Interns could lead a group critique and/or several individual critiques. • Interns could participate in grading/assessment process with mentoring teacher. 3rd quarter Interns should plan, prepare and teach an entire lesson, which may include some of the following: • slide lecture/artist exemplars • demonstration • relevant readings/handouts • classroom lesson/activity • homework assignment • critique of student work produced for the lesson • grading/assessment of student work produced for the lesson 4th quarter Interns should recede into the background, thereby allowing the mentoring teacher to re-establish their principle position in the classroom, but the intern could participate (collaboratively, with mentoring teacher) in all aspects of final evaluation of students’ work from the semester, including: • individual or group critiques • assigning of final grades Interns are expected to attend all classes, with the understanding that commitments to the intern’s graduate program have priority over internship responsibilities. Interns are expected to be punctual and to stay until class ends. All other responsibilities concerning the internship are to be discussed and agreed upon by mentor and intern at the outset of the internship.

Building Community Graduate Community Meetings Informal information sessions—with free pizza. Community Meetings explore graduate academic and student life issues such as registration, safety, health, thesis exhibition, grants and residences, schedules and important deadlines. These meetings are also an excellent opportunity to meet with the managers of campus resources and ask questions. Graduate Student Union (GSU) The GSU is a graduate student governance body that keeps the Graduate Office informed of student concerns and works with students and staff to find resolutions. Town Hall Meetings Held once a semester, Town Hall meetings provide important facetime between the graduate community and MICA’s senior administration including the President, Provost and VPs of MICA’s major services. Salon is a place where MFA students, alum and invited guests gather to share their work and interact. Selected artists present work using informal and unconventional means to engage the audience. The organizing committee is a loose coalition of graduate students who welcome participation. Some of the members of the organizing committee this year are: Cat Sachse (Mt Royal), Liz Ashe (Mt Royal), Jen Coster (Rinehart), Zoe Friedman (Mt Royal) and Jen Frost Smith (PEM) Graduate Picnic Enjoy fresh steamed shrimp and bushels of steamed crabs prepared in the famous Baltimore tradition. Held the Friday of Commencement week, this is a great opportunity to celebrate another successful year with graduate alums, friends, directors and staff. Graduate Holiday Party and Pie Contest End of the fall semester holiday bash with live music, food and drink, some great prizes and more. Think you have the best recipe for a sweet or savory pie? Judges award ribbons to programs as well as individuals so don’t hold back. Pie Contest Standings: 2010 Overall Program Winner: Rinehart School of Sculpture 2011 Overall Program Winner: Photographic and Electronic Media MICA Masters Art Sale Held the Saturday of Commencement week, the benefit art sale offers the public a chance to browse and buy affordable works of art from MFA, MA and Post-Bac students.

(e.g., community revitalization, sustainability/the environment, racial equity, public health, etc.) • Have identifiable outputs. These are visible results. Examples include: a beautified public space; collateral materials for a new public awareness campaign; an image bank; a collection or oral histories; a newly-launched arts program, etc., and are likely to result in tangible outcomes (i.e., a change in awareness, attitude or behavior among project participants). • Are planned, designed and/or implemented in collaboration with at least one external (non-MICA) partner. • Have an emphasis in East Baltimore neighborhoods. This is not a requirement. However because much of our funding is East Baltimore specific, special preference will be placed on strong projects in East Baltimore. Student Affairs Community Service Fund Grants Student Affairs Community Service Fund Grants provide resources up to $500 for students engaged in service, volunteerism, community art and service learning opportunities in the greater Baltimore region. The fund is available for co-curricular, studentdriven initiatives and may not fund projects that are for classroom credit or a required practicum.

Exhibition Spaces The following galleries are under the direct supervision and scheduling of the Exhibitions Department and are maintained under the policies in this handbook: Fox Building Decker 1st floor Meyerhoff 1st floor front Fox 2: 2nd floor Fox 3: MFA Thesis Gallery – 3rd floor Brown Center Rosenberg 2nd floor Brown 3rd floor Brown 4th floor Bunting Center Pinkard 1st floor Main Building Main 0 Gallery – Lower level Mt. Royal Station Middendorf The Exhibitions Department does not schedule the following gallery spaces on MICA’s campus, yet all rules and regulations found in this handbook apply to these spaces as well: Gateway Graduate Student Space Gallery 1st floor The Exhibition Department does not schedule public spaces on campus. Performance, installation and sound artwork that is designed to be outside of studios, classrooms, galleries or exhibition areas are considered to be in public spaces on the MICA campus. These will require prior written authorization from the MICA Office of Events. For more information about these student-run and organized galleries, please contact Student Activities at 410-225-2284. Visit the Exhibitions Department located in the lower level of the Fox Building, room F011, to discuss your individual needs with our staff and to pick up any forms that you may be required to fill out for your exhibition. Our forms are also available on the Exhibitions page on the MICA Website.
95
Exhibition Deadlines • Pedestal request required two weeks before exhibition. Pedestals are not stored on campus, so it is imperative that the Exhibitions Department receives requests two weeks in advance to arrange pick-up. • Technology requests required two weeks before exhibition • LCD and plasma requests required three weeks before exhibition Brown Center Proposals should be submitted to the Exhibitions Office as far in advance as possible and no later than three weeks before you installation or event. Once received by the Exhibitions Department, the proposal will be reviewed for approval by the Director of Exhibitions and the Director of Events.
General Installation Guidelines All artists that are installing and de-installing in any of the galleries on MICA’s campus should read this guide and follow instructions. You will be held accountable for all the information within. The artist is solely responsible for installation of their own artworks. If there are special installation needs, the artist should consult with the Exhibitions Staff in advance. All work must be installed safely and correctly: • Nothing is allowed to be hung from pipes or electrical equipment, including lighting track. • If objects must be hung from the ceiling, make sure it is hung securely and safely. OSHA regulations specify that a five-foot distance from all sprinkler systems is required when hanging from the ceiling. No “false” ceilings can be created in any of the galleries. • All artists are responsible for consulting the Exhibitions Department, Facilities Maintenance and Campus Safety, and Office of Events regarding any installation that may exceed the “general” parameters of a normal installation. • All work must be installed safely on the walls. Hooks and other hanging implements may be available for individual needs from the Exhibitions Department. Please consult ahead of time with the exhibitions staff for any needs you may have. • Two-dimensional work may be hung any way the artist may require for their own specific installation. However, the Exhibitions Department, as a general rule, uses a mid-point line (or “sight line”) of 58". It is a good idea to keep a consistent mid-point line throughout an exhibition. • Any building of temporary walls must gain approval of the Director of Exhibitions. Wall building is generally not allowed. Any special needs by individual exhibiting artists must be approved by the Department and must strictly align with all federal and local building and safety codes. Please see under “Gallery Maintenance” for more policies on gallery walls. • Food, living organic material, animal or human blood or tissue, and soil are prohibited from use for installation in any of the MICA gallery spaces. Any odorous materials such as perfumes, incense, or other material that may affect viewers or other artists’ installations is prohibited. PLEASE NOTE: The Exhibitions Department does not take responsibility for artwork that is left in spaces after an exhibit is de-installed. Work that is left in Exhibitions storage areas will be removed. It is the Exhibitions Department’s policy not to destroy artwork. The Exhibitions Department, while adhering to that rule, does not take responsibility for artists leaving artwork in the department’s care for objectionably long time periods (generally one week).

Gallery Maintenance Lighting All lighting is done by the Exhibitions Department staff. Please do not attempt to adjust the lighting yourself. If you have special lighting needs, please consult with an Exhibitions Preparator well ahead of installation time. We will make every attempt to light your exhibition in the most professional and timely manner possible. There are exceptions to this; the Exhibitions Department does not take care of lighting needs in the Meyerhoff House spaces or for any exhibits in the Commons, studios, hallways, etc. Walls Pre-existing gallery walls cannot be manipulated in any way that would compromise the long-term appearance or stability. This includes: • Any penetration over 1⁄2" in depth. • Any large number of holes in a small area. • Any removal of a section of a wall. Please check with the Exhibitions Department if you have special needs. Once again, all wall manipulation or construction is subject to the approval of the Exhibitions Department. Proposals for wall manipulation are required and should be delivered to the Director no later than two weeks before the installation and should include a legible diagram of the proposed construction. If the installation requires alteration of the color of the walls, the color must be approved by the Exhibitions Department. In addition, paint must be water based latex only. • Electrical outlets, light switches and baseboards may not be painted. • No permanent marker, pens or chalk can be used. If the installation requires black or other dark colors to be painted, roller sleeves must be provided by the installing artist(s). Roller sleeves will not be provided by the Exhibitions Department in these cases. Painted gallery walls must be painted back to the original “white” color. Installing artist must provide and use water based latex primer to restore the walls. The Exhibitions Department will provide the top coat paint. Use of any adhesive material in installations in any of the gallery spaces on campus (i.e., Velcro, tape) must be approved by the Director of Exhibitions. The Exhibitions Department will provide brushes, rollers, sleeves, drop cloths and gallery wall paint if the area being painted is not excessively large. Please request these items well before your project begins in order to be accommodated.
98
Floors • Painting, removing, cutting, drilling, gluing, nailing or screwing into existing floors is strictly prohibited. Permission to manipulate the gallery floors must be secured through the Exhibitions Department at least two weeks in advance of the start of installation. • Any substance placed on the floors of the campus galleries must be approved by the Director of Exhibitions and the Director of Facilities. • If the installation requires the construction of a temporary floor of some kind, the artist is responsible for the construction and all labor and material costs. This type of construction requires the approval of the Exhibitions Department, and permission must be secured through a detailed and legible proposal—presented at least two weeks in advance of the start of installation. A security deposit may be required for some installations. De-installation Guidelines • Artwork must be de-installed on the days scheduled by the Exhibitions Department for de-installation. Any artwork left in the galleries will be removed and may be disposed of. • All walls must be returned to “installation-ready” condition by the end of the deinstallation period. • All tools checked out from the Exhibitions Department must be returned immediately after de-installation and during Exhibitions’ office hours. All borrowed equipment is the sole responsibility of the borrower. The borrower accepts the financial burden of replacing any lost items. PLEASE NOTE: It is important to remember that others will be using the gallery space after you are finished with your exhibition. Leave the gallery in exactly the same way in which you found it, if not better. Penalties may be incurred if this very important rule is not adhered to by exhibitor.

Exhibitions Office Policies Vinyl Production and Installation The Department of Exhibitions provides vinyl lettering and text for certain installations in the MICA campus galleries. Due to expense and time involved, the Exhibitions Department does not provide vinyl, or its installation for the following exhibitions: • Any “departmental” exhibition in “departmental” spaces (Fox 2, Main 0, Brown 3&4, Middendorf Gallery) • Student Space Galleries The above needs can be met by working through Campus Technology’s print/resource studio in the Art Tech Center. Additionally, while the department will do vinyl production for some installation, any needs deemed to be excessive will be paid for, or vinyl will be produced by that individual department. Checking Out Equipment and Other Materials 1. Equipment (such as tape measures, levels, drills, hammers, etc.) may be checked out for your installation through the Exhibitions Department. Please notify the Exhibitions staff in advance of when you will need this equipment. Equipment may not be checked out overnight, unless approved by the Director of Exhibitions. A valid MICA I.D. or driver’s license is required to check out any of the Departments hanging equipment. If you must install your exhibition overnight and have obtained permission to do so through the Director, you must pick up your equipment and tools before 3 p.m. on the day you plan to install. If you need to install over a weekend, you must pick up your tools and equipment before 3 p.m. on Friday. You must leave your MICA I.D. or driver’s license card with the Exhibitions Department over the weekend. Electric tools and ladders will not be checked out over the weekend. PLEASE NOTE: A checkout log must be filled out and signed by both the artist and the Exhibitions staff. 2. The MICA AV Department provides technological equipment (monitors, computers, LCD projectors, VCRs and DVD players) for departmental exhibitions. Only if the MICA AV Department cannot provide the necessary equipment, will the Exhibitions Department attempt to accommodate these types of requests. This equipment must be reserved—in advance of a least two weeks—with the Exhibitions Department. 3. You are required to secure any equipment borrowed for your installation (LCD projectors, DVD players, computers, etc.). This is to prevent theft or otherwise. The Exhibitions Department will supply you with Technalocks or other material to help to secure your equipment. Please note the following requirements for technology installation by the Exhibitions Department: • All DVDs must be delivered to the Exhibitions Department “looped.” Non-looped DVDs will not be presented. • All computer works must be installed by the artist on the hard drive and a back up CD-ROM or DVD available to Exhibitions staff. The work should be in QuickTime format for playing. PowerPoint slideshows are also acceptable. Macintosh is the preferred platform—PC platforms are not available through the Exhibitions Department, but may be available through MICA AV Services. Any visible “quit screen” or menus must be hidden to prevent tampering of the hard drive. Your program must be engineered to load automatically should the computer need to be re-booted.

You will be required to sign a waiver, exempting the Exhibitions Department from loss or damage, while the equipment is in your possession. 6. Pedestals are available for use in gallery space only. Artists are able to request pedestals no later than two weeks in advance of an installation. A list of available pedestals and their sizes is kept in the Exhibitions Department office and on the web. It is recommended that this list be consulted so the pedestal best suited for individual needs is made available. Pedestals are not allowed to be used in studio spaces for critiques or any other spaces not under the scheduling of the Exhibitions Department. PLEASE NOTE: All Pedestal Requests and Tech Requests must be submitted the Exhibitions Office two weeks prior to installation. LCD and plasma screens require a three week notice. 7. Label forms and price lists are available through the Exhibitions Department office and on the Web. All departmental exhibitions are responsible for producing their own labels. 8. Wall text is available to be purchased individually through the Exhibitions Department’s vendor. However, there are cheaper avenues if you wish to have vinyl text for your installation. Use of MICA’s LCD Flat Screens and Plasma Screens The Exhibitions Department has LCD flat-screen monitors available [26"(h) × 48"(w) × 3.5"(d)] for use strictly by authorization and oversight by the Exhibitions Department. Exhibitions Department needs supersede any other need that may arise at any time for use of this screen. These monitors may not be used for “departmental” exhibitions and are to be used (with approval of the Director of Exhibitions) only in the Meyerhoff, Pinkard and Decker galleries, as well as the Brown Center areas that are under the supervision and scheduling of the Exhibitions Department. Transportation to and from the galleries must be done by the Exhibitions Department. A “reservation” period of at least three weeks prior to installation is mandatory, with no exceptions, for checkout and use of the Department’s LCD monitors for any exhibition needs. The Exhibitions Department’s equipment can only be used in the gallery spaces (see above) and are not available for use in classrooms or studios. There are two plasma screens permanently mounted in the “departmental” areas of the Brown Center, on floors 2 and 4. These may not be removed unless directed by the Exhibitions Department, in complete concurrence with the MICA AV Department. These two plasma screens are installed strictly for use by the academic departments located on those particular floors. PLEASE NOTE: All LCD and Plasma Screen requests must be in to the Exhibitions Office three weeks before installation. You can either stop by the office or find the ‘Tech Request’ form on the Exhibitions page on the MICA Website.
