What to Know:

Saint Mary’s College treats all students equitably regardless of their actual or potential parental or familial status.

Any student who becomes pregnant may remain enrolled and will receive the College’s full support. This includes appropriate, reasonable adjustments to educational programs and activities to support pregnant or parenting students. 

Saint Mary’s full policy regarding pregnant and parenting students can be accessed here. 

If you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant, support is available to you on and off campus. Following is a list of organizations and resources where you can access medical, emotional, or spiritual help, information, and counseling:

ON-CAMPUS RESOURCES

Housing

Pregnant students can be accommodated in all of our residence halls, as space allows, or are allowed a special exception to be released from their housing contract.
