MICA 2020 Commencement COVID-19 Update

As announced in a letter to the community on March 11, 2020:

“Upcoming essential events, such as Commencement and related activities and festivities are being considered on a case-by-case basis, and their status will be communicated as soon as a decision has been made. We expect such decisions before the end of March.”

Please watch your email and this space for updates.





The Undergraduate Commencement ceremony is scheduled to take place on Monday, May 18, 2020, at 2 p.m. in the Meyerhoff Symphony Hall. 

The Graduate Commencement Ceremony is scheduled to take place on Monday, May 18, 2020, at 10:30 a.m. in the Meyerhoff Symphony Hall.

All of our students have worked incredibly hard to reach this milestone.  While we hope to be able to celebrate this achievement and its related festivities with everyone in person, we are assessing multiple contingency plans given the rapidly evolving COVID-19 public health emergency.  Please look for additional communications regarding Commencement in the coming weeks.  Additionally, current information about MICA’s response to COVID-19 can be found at www.mica.edu/coronavirus.

The Meyerhoff Symphony Hall is located at 1212 Cathedral Street, Baltimore, MD, 21201.   You can find details about planned Commencement activities, hotels, parking, and more at Parent and Family Information.

If guests attending Commencement require accommodations (such as special seating, sign language interpretation, etc.) please contact the Office of Events (scroll down for contact information).
