ST. MARY'S COLLEGE OF MARYLAND AWAITS YOU!

We are excited to welcome you to campus,
but in order to keep everyone safe we ask that you follow these guidelines:

Campus visitors must be fully vaccinated for COVID-19. Visitors must present proof of vaccination (vaccination card) upon request by College officials. If campus visitors are not vaccinated or cannot show proof of vaccination, they must present proof of a negative COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours of arrival to campus. Unvaccinated people must wear masks at all times except when eating or drinking; vaccinated people must wear masks indoors but may be unmasked outside.

OPEN HOUSE EVENTS

This event provides you with the opportunity to meet our students, faculty, and staff.

You’ll learn about what makes St. Mary’s College unique from students and faculty, hear about our academic offerings, enjoy a wonderful brunch, and take a tour led by our student ambassadors.

ON-CAMPUS VISITS

The best way to experience the St. Mary’s College of Maryland community is to see it for yourself. The Office of Admission is excited that we are hosting visitors on campus. Sign up for a visit and you will be able to take a student ambassador-led tour of our beautiful, waterfront campus, discover all of the incredible things St. Mary’s College has to offer and get any questions you have answered.

As a result of COVID-19, guidelines have been established to help keep our community and each other safe. Our campus visits are available by appointment only. Please do not come to campus without registering, as we are unable to accommodate walk-in visitors. At any time, visitors may sign up to take a self-guided tour of our campus at a time that works for them.

Please note that tours may not go through all of our buildings, particularly the residence halls and the Great Room (dining hall). All persons must wear a mask or face covering while inside the buildings and maintain social distance whenever possible throughout their visit. Our campus visits are offered Monday through Friday and select Saturdays. Check the schedule for tour times on the day you wish to visit. We look forward to meeting you and showing you around our campus!

SELF-GUIDED TOUR

We are pleased that we can offer a SELF-GUIDED TOUR. This tour is available on the Guidebook App. Using Guidebook, you will follow the same tour path as our Admission Visit, with narration by our Student Ambassador Tour guides. The self-guided tour will be completely outdoors and contactless.

You may take the self-guided tour anytime, 7 days a week. The College is closed to visitors who are not on official College business, so we ask that you complete this Self-Guided Tour form to let us know that you will be on campus. Once you have done so, you will receive a confirmation email with the necessary information for your visit. If you have any questions, please contact the Office of Admission.

Please Note: SMCM is a fully-masked campus, your party must wear masks at all times on campus grounds. Please observe social distancing and stay 6 feet apart. For more information on our policies, please see our COVID-19 handbook.

HAVE A 1-ON-1 SESSION

You are invited to schedule a one-on-one session with an Admission Counselor, Office of Student Financial Assistance or a Current Student.

These conversations are a fantastic option to get your questions answered and learn more about SMCM. We will contact you during your selected time with a phone call or video chat, your choice!

ATTEND A VIRTUAL INFORMATION SESSION

We wish you could see campus in person this time of year; the weather is wonderful and the landscape is coming alive. Oh, and the gorgeous sunsets on the river!

Our Live Virtual Information Sessions and tours are your opportunity to get tons of general information and have your questions answered by an admission counselor and a student ambassador. If you have not visited our campus, this would be a great choice!
