Frequently Asked Questions

At Marymount, we place special emphasis on your first year of college.

​
Once you’re admitted to Marymount, the Academic Advising Center picks up where Admissions leaves off.  You’ll communicate with your advisor throughout the summer and have the opportunity to meet them at New Student Orientation.

You will meet regularly with your advisor throughout your first-year to build your 4-year plan and register for classes. Your advisor is here to serve as a resource for you if you need anything during your first-year.
