MICA's Kanopy subscription allows anyone with a current MICA username and password to access Kanopy. However, only faculty may request the purchase of streaming rights for instructional purposes.

About MICA's Kanopy Subscription

Due to high costs, new licenses on Kanopy are only purchased when requested by a faculty member for class use. Here's what you need to know:

• Access: Anyone with a MICA username and password can view films we already have licenses to stream on Kanopy.
• Faculty Requests: Only MICA faculty can request the purchase of films we don't already have licenses for. Requests must be made directly through Kanopy.
• Fulfillment Time: We fulfill requests as soon as possible, but Kanopy may take some time to process purchases.
• License Duration: Licenses are typically for one year. If you keep a film on your syllabi, double-check that we still have access to it with a couple of weeks' lead time.
