Student Support Services
MCAD provides assistance to students in several ways. Among them are the following:
Academic Advising
All students at MCAD are assigned an advisor to assist them in choosing classes appropriate to their degree program and personal goals. Special problems and unusual circumstances should be referred to the Academic Advising staff in the Student Affairs Office.

Counseling Psychologist
MCAD employs a counseling psychologist to work with students on campus. Students may schedule an appointment by contacting the psychologist directly via email or phone, or through the Student Affairs Office. Common problems include stress, depression, relationships, anxiety, family, chemical use, or academics; no problem is too big or too small. Services are free and confidential. The psychologist may also refer students to other mental health professionals outside of MCAD when necessary.

The international student advisor/program coordinator helps international students adjust to the College and to American culture. This person handles all immigration requirements and serves as a liaison between the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and MCAD's foreign students. In addition, the coordinator can act as intermediary between the student and other offices at the College, aiding in communication and guidance.
