MICA has partnered with Insider Software to provide FontAgent cloud licensing to all active Graphic Design students and faculty.
Access
Student licensing for FontAgent is automatic, and determined by your current course enrollment status.
If you are currently taking a Graphic Design course at either Undergraduate or Graduate level, you will automatically be granted a license for FontAgent and access to the fonts appropriate for your courses.
Your license will be revoked once you are no longer actively enrolled in a Graphic Design course.
Faculty teaching GD courses that do not currently have access - please speak with your department chair and have them contact the Tech Desk to get you set up.
