Academic Onboarding
A structured start into a new academic system: expectations, grading, academic integrity, and how to engage with lecturers and peers.
Lakuna Institute Program
MICA
Academic Success League
Your league of support, helping international students not just enroll, but truly succeed.
MICA supports students who cross borders for their education. Moving between academic cultures means learning new rules (often unwritten ones) about writing, participation, and self-management. MICA makes those rules explicit, pairing practical academic skills with the cultural orientation students need to feel at home and perform at their best.
What MICA covers
Focus areas
Environmental Alignment
Settle into your new city and campus culture, understand local norms, and build a personal support network early.
Writing Skills & Tools
From essays to research papers: academic writing conventions, citation practice, and feedback that builds confidence and clarity.
Success Management
Goal setting, time management, and resilience strategies that keep your studies and your wellbeing on track.
