Being admitted is a big step on the road to earning your graduate degree. Now it’s time to focus on what comes next. This page contains the information you need to get ready for your first day of class. Communications from your department will contain specific dates and deadlines.
International Students
Saint Mary’s College is currently in the process of certification to welcome international students into our graduate programs. Additional information will be posted as it becomes available.

Housing
On-campus housing for graduate students in the speech language pathology program is available in Regina Hall. All other students enrolled in a graduate program at SMC will live off campus. Luckily, rental options for off-campus apartments and houses are plentiful—many within walking or biking distance—providing students with a convenient commute to campus for classes, and the surrounding areas for a vibrant social scene.

Dining opportunities on campus include the Noble Family Dining Hall and 1844 Cafe located inside the Student Center, and Murphy’s Cafe located inside Angela Athletic & Wellness Center.
