The developments related to COVID-19 are unprecedented. At MICC, we are focused on the safety and well being of our participants, families, and staff. Our Admissions Department will continue to accept applications and work with prospective students and their families (virtually) through this time.

Step 1. ​Schedule a Virtual Tour + Info Session 

At this time, we are suspending in-person campus visits over the next several weeks as information develops regarding COVID-19. We are now offering virtual options. 

Virtual tours and information sessions are held weekdays between 9:00 am - 5:00 pm and last approximately 45 minutes. Sessions are a one-on-one session with a member of our admissions staff and includes a program overview and a virtual campus tour. Prospective students and families are encouraged to join together. We also welcome professionals who are curious about our programming, as well as groups up to 20.
​
  • Self-schedule your virtual tour and information session with a member of the admissions team online.
  • Group in-person tours have been suspended until further notice. School groups or transition programs can schedule a virtual information session with a member of our admissions team here.
  • Call 612.869.4008 or email our admissions office to speak directly with a member of the admissions team.

Step 2. Apply online

Step 3. Send materials

The following documentation is required to complete your application. ​​Materials may be mailed, emailed, or faxed, and may be submitted separately. All required documentation must be received by the application deadline for a student's application to be reviewed by the Admissions Committee.

► A comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation completed within the last 24 months. Refer to the ​Guidelines for Disability Documentation for evaluation requirements. If you are in need of referrals to providers who can administer a neuropsychological evaluation, please contact Admissions, and we will provide a list to you.

► Educational transcripts (official or unofficial) from your high school and all post-secondary institutions the applicant has attended.

► Copies of your current Individualized Education Plan (IEP), Evaluation Report, and/or Transition Plan.

► Health records or medical reports relevant to the application process.

► We require a minimum of three (3) recommendations. Email our online recommendation form to three people in the following categories: an educator (teacher, instructor, or school administrator), a vocational professional (supervisor, or job coach), and a general professional (case manager, or therapist). Please instruct individuals who are providing recommendations to contact our admissions office with questions.​

► If applicable, obtain documentation identifying the applicant's current vocational skills. This information could be in the form of an employment evaluation or a vocational assessment.​​
​

Step 4. In-person interview

The Admissions Committee will only review completed applications and will do so within one week of receiving all of the required information/materials. Following this review, if appropriate, applicants will be contacted to schedule an in-person (or virtual) interview, skills assessment, and half-day observation visit.
