Walk-in hours do not require an appointment and are Mondays - Fridays, 1 - 3 PM. Call 240-895-4289 to set up an appointment. Students can also use the Protocall toll free helpline 24\/7.\u00a0 (240) 895-4200.<\/li>\n<li>Dictionary<br \/>\nWe know that there are lots of terms and acronyms used on campus that may be new to you. To help our students and family members, we put together a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1Vw4zIj_6ZHs3XDHnGGYPUN2W33wlvR4JPH8r_mD8nHQ\/edit\"><u>Dictionary of Terms and Acronyms (Google Doc)<\/u><\/a>\u00a0that explains important\u00a0information relating to Academics,\u00a0Admissions, Athletics, Business Office, Financial Aid, Registrar, Student Life, and Title IX. We hope this resource\u00a0is useful to you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Absences<\/h3>\n<p>OS3 does not \"grant\" excused absences. We will send a notification to a student's instructors to let them know that the student will be absent from class (assuming that the student or family member notifies us in a timely manner) and to ask the instructors to work with the student to get caught up on whatever was missed during the class(es). Unlike high school, there is\u00a0no \"excused absence\" policy in college. As you may know, College policy states that students are allowed two absences for each course; after two absences, it is entirely within the instructor's purview whether or not to count the absence toward the student's grade based on\u00a0the instructor's established attendance policy.<\/p>\n<h4>Ideas to help students find success.<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Meet instructors out of class. Most professor post their office\/visiting hours in their syllabus. Students can ask what they can do to get back on track in the course, ask specific questions about content, or talk about career opportunities and more!<\/li>\n<li>Prepare for class and attend class (even if they've missed a few).<\/li>\n<li>Complete readings, make an outline combining their reading and class notes, talk in class (even if they ask only one question).<\/li>\n<li>Utilize course TA\u2019s. If there isn't a TA, then meet with their instructor about specific content challenges, or email OS3 about getting a free tutor (tutoring@smcm.edu).<\/li>\n<li>Contact OS3 (OS3@smcm.edu or 240-895-4388) to schedule an academic coaching session (for help with time management, study skills, procrastination, exam prep, motivation, etc.) with a professional staff member.<\/li>\n<li>Work with a Peer Academic Success Strategies (PASS) Specialist. These are students trained to help them with academic coaching (time management, note-taking, getting organized, creating an academic action plan, breaking up large assignments into chunks, etc.). Please email pass@smcm.edu or call 240-895-4388 to schedule an appointment.<\/li>\n<li>Before they drop a course talk with their advisor or an OS3 staff member.<\/li>\n<li>Contact their advisor for additional advice and support<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If they receive accommodations, they can contact the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smcm.edu\/office-accessibility-services\/\"><u>Office of Accessibility Services<\/u><\/a> for assistance (<a href=\"mailto:adasupport@smcm.edu\">adasupport@smcm.edu<\/a> or <a href=\"tel:2408952250\">240-895-2250<\/a>).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-874-2\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-874-2-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-874-2-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_smcm-title panel-first-child\" data-index=\"5\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-smcm-title so-widget-smcm-title-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t><h2 class=\"smcm-section-title navy\" style=\"\">Archived Videos of Information for Parents of <strong>Newly Admitted Students<\/strong><\/h2><\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-874-2-0-1\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-last-child\" data-index=\"6\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p>(Note: These videos were recorded before April 2026, they are archived and are maintained for historical, research, or recordkeeping purposes only.)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Wmg7PTaqRjU\">A Home for Future Leaders Webinar on YouTube<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/presentation\/d\/1BDbcsGybJJyMmkxG0zKnghIn4yQmkkM7\/edit?usp=sharing&amp;amp;ouid=109618543723986836381&amp;amp;rtpof=true&amp;amp;sd=true\">A Home for Future Leaders Presentation on Google Slides<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-874-3\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-874-3-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-874-3-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_smcm-title panel-first-child\" data-index=\"7\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-smcm-title so-widget-smcm-title-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t><h2 class=\"smcm-section-title navy\" style=\"\">Videos from <strong>OS3 Family Presentations<\/strong><\/h2><\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-874-3-0-1\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_text panel-last-child\" data-index=\"8\" >\t\t\t<div class=\"textwidget\"><ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/hk6wARbr18M\">The Year-End Boost: Helping Your Student Finish Strong and Plan What&#8217;s Next on YouTube<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smcm.edu\/app\/uploads\/sites\/128\/2026\/04\/YearEndBoostHelpingYourStudentFinishStrongAndPlanWhatsNext.pdf\">The Year-End Boost: Helping Your Student Finish Strong and Plan What&#8217;s Next (PDF)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-874-4\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-874-4-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-874-4-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_smcm-title panel-first-child\" data-index=\"9\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-smcm-title so-widget-smcm-title-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t><h2 class=\"smcm-section-title navy\" style=\"\">Archived Videos from <strong>OS3 Family Presentations<\/strong><\/h2><\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-874-4-0-1\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_text panel-last-child\" data-index=\"10\" >\t\t\t<div class=\"textwidget\"><p>(Note: These videos were recorded before April 2026, they are archived and are maintained for historical, research, or recordkeeping purposes only.)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/zDN1ak6o8Ic\">Passport to Possibilities: Your Guide to Study Abroad on YouTube<\/a>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smcm.edu\/app\/uploads\/sites\/128\/2026\/03\/Passport-to-Possibilities_-2026-March-Parents-Families-Study-Abroad-Webinar.pdf\">Passport to Possibilities: Your Guide to Study Abroad PDF<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=V6i53ho9SQk\">The Wellness Playbook: Navigating Health &amp;
