PARENT RESOURCES

Dear Parents,

Welcome to Mount St. Mary’s College!

As you observe your daughter or son beginning this new educational journey, I want to assure you that you will also be considered a part of it with your much-needed support.

I can also assure you that the Mount’s administration, faculty, and staff want our students and their parents to feel like members of the “Mount Family.” Both academic and personal growth and success are the goals we have for our students. As our Mission Statement reads, “….Our measure of success is graduates who are committed to using their knowledge and skills to better themselves, their environments, and the world.”

With your and our support, we are confident that our students will achieve this goal.

Thank you for entrusting your daughter or son to Mount St. Mary’s College.

Sincerely,

Sister Joseph Adele Edwards, CSJ 
Baccalaureate Academic Dean

PARENTS GUIDE

The attached brochures are designed to provide YOU - the MSMC Parent - with tips on Academic Advising, Major Exploration, General Studies Requirements, & Timely Reminders of important dates occurring throughout each semester.

We also provide suggestions about what you can do to assist your student to achieve a successful academic year. The first year in college can be a difficult and overwhelming experience for students.  Therefore, your participation, encouragement, and timely reminders to your daughter/son can be very helpful.

Please use these brochures as a guide to discover how you can become a source of support for your student.
