Student Handbook - Marymount University

wish to place conditions on a student to ensure that
he/she can safely return to residence hall living or the
Marymount University community. The university will
provide reasonable accommodations to assist the student
in meeting his/her requirements for return to residential
living or the Marymount University community.
The Student Health Center does not provide individual
notes for students' class absences and strictly enforces
the "no note" policy. If a student is absent from a given
class due to illness, the student is responsible for
communicating with his/her professor and adhering to
the class syllabus standards. In specific circumstances,
verification of absence with an individual professor can
be arranged for students under the care of the Student
Health Center, with the student's written permission.
Should a student have an extended absence of more
than three consecutive class days, a formal absence
letter can be obtained, with appropriate documentation,
through the Student Development Office.
Schedule of Operations
The Student Health Center is open Monday–Friday
7 a.m.–midnight; Saturday–Sunday noon–10 p.m.
The Health Center is closed during Thanksgiving and
Christmas vacations, and Spring Break. It is open 9
a.m.–5 p.m. during the week between the end of spring
semester and Commencement. The Health Center will
be open for limited healthcare hours throughout the
summer months.
Student Health Insurance
All full-time Marymount students are required to have
health insurance. The university offers a comprehensive
health insurance plan in accordance with the Affordable
Care Act, which students may waive if they have
adequate coverage in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Please refer to the Student Health Center website
for specific student health insurance information and

The Financial Aid Office provides financial and debt
management counseling, coordinates financial
aid awards, and makes applications and program
information available to all students. Aid awards are
made by the director in accord with federal, state, and
university guidelines. Approximately 82% of full-time
undergraduates currently receive financial aid. Both
need-based and achievement-based aid is available.
Kinds of Aid
Three types of financial aid are available:
1. Grants and scholarships, which do not have to be
repaid. Virginia residents who are enrolled full-time
for graduate or undergraduate study can receive the
Tuition Assistance Grant (TAG), if application is made
before the deadline. (Graduate students must be
enrolled in a health-related program.)
2. Loans, which are available to eligible students at
lower interest rates than commercial bank loans
and are generally repaid following graduation.
Information on applying for student loans is
provided with a student’s financial aid award.
3. Employment programs, which provide paychecks
in return for hours worked. Employment is offered
through the Federal Work-Study program (a form of
need-based aid awarded by the Financial Aid Office)
or Campus Employment (available to all students,
regardless of need). All full-time students are eligible
to apply for on-campus jobs. Students may view
current vacancies and apply for jobs online by
