MCAD Housing move-in days. If your student is living on campus, they must schedule a time and day to move in with the Resident Assistant. The RAs will be able to answer any housing related questions you have before arriving on campus. Appointments are required to move in!

Laptops will also be available for pick-up on the 17th and 18th between Noon and 4:30pm. Students will need their MCAD ID card and all accounts must be settled to receive their computer.

UPDATE: Please read carefully! Laptop pick-up has been delayed due to shipping issues. They will not be available today (Thursday) and Friday. We are monitoring their arrival and addressing the logistics of preparing them for you to use for your upcoming classes. We will update you often and appreciate your patience. Watch for more updates coming soon via MCAD email.

We will also be hosting a BBQ for families on Friday the 18th at 5pm. All of the MCAD full-time faculty will be there to mingle!
