Marymount College understands how important parents are in their student’s college experience. We try to partner with parents to provide the support that students and their families need. If you need assistance with issues within the classroom, feel free to contact the Office of Academic Affairs. If you need assistance with issues outside the classroom, feel free to contact the Dean of Students Office.
As we welcome your student into the Marymount community, we also welcome your family as new members of our community. Marymount believes that students are well served by continued support and involvement from their family while in college and we strive to include you when possible. Marymount is committed to your student’s success and have extensive programs and services in place to support students. As your student begins his or her collegiate experience, there will be many significant changes in your life and theirs. We hope our parent handbook serves as a resource for your family as you experience these changes.
Throughout the academic year, you may have questions about Marymount or your student’s experience. If your student is not able to find the answers you need, please give me a call or email me.
