KCAI Return to Campus Spring 2021
KCAI’s COVID protocols are aligned with the recommendations set forth by the Health Department and the CDC and we expect that guidelines will continue to evolve.
This page will be updated regularly as new information is made available.
We look forward to working together so that our students can continue to make progress toward the BFA degree in a healthy, student-centered environment. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to email responseteam@kcai.edu.
Daily Symptom Checker
Students, faculty, and staff are required to complete a daily symptom check through the RAVE/Guardian App. If you report symptoms, the app will alert you NOT to come to campus and provide further instructions. Faculty and staff will notify human resources at hr@kcai.edu and students will notify campus officials at covid@kcai.edu.

COVID19 Campus Policies and Protocols
The following policies and protocols were put into place in order to keep our campus community safe and in studio. These policies are subject to change.
KCAI Cares
KCAI Cares is a fund created in direct response to the growing and immediate needs of our students during the COVID-19 global pandemic. KCAI Cares will provide financial assistance grants up to $300 for students who are unable to meet essential expenses.
Please review the policies and procedures for more information and for the link to apply for a grant.
CORONAVIRUS AID, RELIEF, AND ECONOMIC SECURITY (CARES) ACT EMERGENCY FUNDS
The federal CARES ACT provided funding to colleges and universities for emergency student grants. The purpose of the money is to award emergency financial aid grants to students for specific expenses that are a direct result of the disruption of campus operations due to the coronavirus.
