Maria College: Services

The faculty and staff at Maria are committed to making students' day-to-day life as comfortable as possible. With the countless challenges our students face, we want to make sure they have the resources they need to function well in the educational arena and in their personal lives.

Ministry and Counseling

Campus Minister Sister Jean Roche, RSM, offers psycho-spiritual guidance, grief counseling, guest lectures, weekly rituals and retreats for faculty or students upon request. In addition, students may use the services of the Campus Minister when they need assistance with academic and/or personal concerns.

Students also may use Maria's Counseling Center for assistance with personal and/or academic concerns. Whether a student seeks help from the Campus Minister or the Counseling Center , there is no charge. Further, all information is kept strictly confidential and does not become part of the student's college record.

Services to students with disabilities are coordinated through the Counseling Center.

Academic and Career Guidance for Students and Alumnae/i

A number of offices at Maria College offer academic and career guidance. At the Registrar's Office you can obtain class schedules, get a password for Maria's web services, find out the name of your advisor, get help with registering and much more.

The Career Development Office provides services to students and alumnae/i who need assistance with transferring to four-year colleges, focusing career aspirations, setting personal goals, job hunting, interviewing, etc. We want to make sure you have a solid plan of action when you leave Maria College .

Although our students eventually graduate and leave our physical campus, the college truly wants to keep them part of the Maria community. The Career Development Office maintains a database of alumae/i and considers them an invaluable resource. Many of our alumnae/i provide financial assistance to the college as well as input to our ever evolving programs.

Campus Safety and Parking

The safety of our students is of the utmost importance to us at Maria. Through our campus security procedures and related information we provide on-line, we try to ensure our campus is a safe environment for learning. We also try to make campus parking regulations as straightforward as possible.

Student Handbook

Paper copies of the Student Handbook are distrbuted to new students at orientation and registration for the student's first semester. It can also be accessed here electronically. Many important pieces of information and procedures are explained within the handbook. It is a vital reference for the Maria College student.
