From life on campus to sports and recreation, activities and programming, to health and wellness and everything in between, seasoned professionals are available to provide guidance and assistance.
The Office of Student Activities
The primary focus of Student Activities is to encourage all students to develop their intellectual, spiritual, cultural, social, vocational, and physical capabilities. The Office of Student Activities helps coordinate and promote leadership opportunities and a variety of programs and services to enhance community development at Marist.

Residence Living
The Office of Housing and Residential Life oversees the management of all the living areas on campus. College housing is guaranteed for the first two years for students accepted as resident first year students. All students in college housing must be registered for a minimum of 12 credits each semester.
Residing in college housing provides students the opportunity to experience living in a community dedicated to the academic and personal development of each member.
Residence living is an integral part of the college experience. On average, approximately 70% of full-time undergraduates will live in College housing. The buildings used for College housing vary in size and character, from traditional residence high-rise facilities to townhouse apartments.
The range of housing accommodations includes rooms located along a common hallway with a common bathroom, suite style rooms with a shared bathroom and single rooms in new apartment residences. In order to provide an environment conducive to academic and personal development, a code of conduct and a corresponding norms structure are strictly enforced. The professional and paraprofessional staff are responsible for enforcing the code and norms in the residence halls.
The Director of Housing coordinates the entire operation of the residence halls; the Assistant Directors and Resident Directors have the responsibility of managing the daily operations of the residences; Assistant Resident Directors and Resident Assistants have the responsibility of overseeing the smooth running of the designated wings, floors, or apartments, primarily by enforcing the norms, acting as role models and leaders through developmental and recreational programming.
All buildings are equipped with fire alarm systems. All systems are tested and inspected annually by a New York State certified fire alarm installer. All fire alarm systems are monitored 24/7 by a central monitoring station as well as by the Safety and Security Office on campus. The college is equipped with fire sprinklers in most buildings and all systems are inspected quarterly in accordance with the Fire Code of New York State. All buildings are in compliance with NYS Building and Fire Codes. More information describing college housing facilities is available on the Housing and Residential Life webpage. https://www.marist.edu/student-life/campus/housing-residential-life

After undergoing a significant renovation and expansion, completed in the Fall 2019, the fitness and recreation wing of the James J. McCann Center provides students and student-athletes alike with state-of-the-art fitness and training facilities.

Along the banks of the Hudson River lies a twelve-acre parcel with a scenic river walk, a bulkhead and dock system, renovated green space, a gazebo, and new landscaping. Renamed Longview Park, this benefits the Marist men’s and women’s rowing teams along with members of the community. The Gartland Athletic Field is a ten-acre area that services as the home for the softball program and provides intramural fields for students.

Located on the east end of campus, Marketplace Fitness contains a variety of fitness and plate-loaded weight training equipment for all students. A second satellite fitness center is located in Building D in the North End residence life area. Building D Fitness offers cardiovascular fitness equipment as well as a dance/areobics studio, which holds organized classes.
In December of 2000 a new sports medicine facility opened its doors, offering Marist student-athletes the best treatment available with top technological advances in equipment and modalities. A 500-square-foot taping and equipment room in addition to a 1,600-square-foot treatment center is located at the back of the McCann Center.
Along with the sports medicine facility, a 1,600-square-foot academic area opened its doors on the second floor of the McCann Center. This area houses the Director of Student-Athlete Enhancement and the staff and provides the athletes a state-of-the-art academic complex. This center is also used extensively for the NCAA Student-Athlete Affairs Program.

Throughout all levels of the physical education and athletics programs, the College emphasizes the physical, social, and recreational benefits to be gained through active participation. With these educational values in mind, the College fosters a program that encourages as broad a student participation as possible in the physical education programs as well as in the intercollegiate, intramural, and club sports offered.
Campus Ministry
This office supports the spiritual, educational, and worship needs of the Marist College community. It strives to provide direct assistance and access to students of all spiritual and religious backgrounds through the work of the Campus Ministry staff. Students are encouraged to participate in religious services, small faith groups, discussions, interfaith activities, service opportunities on and off campus, retreats and social activities sponsored by the department.
Marist embraces diverse religious traditions found among our students and encourages students to share with each other these traditions so all may develop a deeper appreciation of our entire community.
Marist Health Services
Health Services is located on the 3rd floor of the Murray Student Center with a satellite office located on the 2nd floor of the Mid-Rise building. Services are available to all full-time undergraduate Marist College students and visits to Health Services are covered by the student health fee paid with each semester’s tuition. Full-time graduate students may elect to pay the student health fee to also access care at Marist Health Services, which is available based on the undergraduate calendar.
MHS is staffed by a physician, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, medical assistants and administrative staff. MHS provides evaluation and treatment of common problems such as acute illness and minor injuries. Students are seen by appointment. Emergencies or problems that are beyond the resources of MHS are referred to Mid-Hudson Regional Hospital or Vassar Brothers Medical Center Emergency Department (see below). Please call (845) 575-3270 for an appointment or information. When necessary, MHS can refer students and families to community health resources such as medical specialists, physical therapists, and dentists. Student health fees do not cover such visits. If you anticipate the need for specialty care, it is most efficient to begin by checking with your health insurance plan about coverage and any “preferred” or “in-network” providers in the Poughkeepsie area. MHS does not provide routine physical examinations or physicals for sports or activities.
Resident students requiring medical care after MHS hours should notify the on duty Resident Advisor, Resident Director, or Marist Security. For after-hours emergencies, students are referred to Mid-Hudson Regional Hospital Emergency Department, 241 North Road, (845) 431-8220, which is across the street from the campus, or Vassar Brothers Medical Center Emergency Department, 45 Reade Place (845) 431-5680. If students require urgent care services on weekends of after-hours, they are encouraged to access care at Emergency One in Hyde Park or Poughkeepsie. Off-campus health care is subject to the terms of the student’s health insurance coverage and such visits will be billed to the student’s insurance. Please Note: New York State Public Health Law 2165 requires college students to demonstrate proof of immunity to measles, mumps, and rubella (German measles). Students will not be permitted to register for classes or remain on campus unless this information is provided to Health Services. New York State Public Health Law 2167 requires students to complete the mandatory Meningitis Vaccination Response Form or supply proof of acceptable meningitis immunization within 5 years of enrollment date. Details about the meningitis vaccines are noted on the Meningitis Vaccination Response Form. The form can be found in the Marist Health Services Patient Portal at http://marist.medicalconnect.com.

First-year Programs and Leadership Development
As part of Marist’s commitment to the successful transition of traditional-aged first-year students into the college community, The Office of First Year Programs and Leadership Development (FYP & LD) offers undergraduate students a unique personal support structure centered on helping students reach academic, social, and personal goals which are critical to their success. To assist students in navigating their way through their first year of study, FYP Coordinators have offices in the first-year residence halls and typically live on campus providing accessible mentoring services. The Associate Director of FYP & LD is the mentor for our commuting students. The Associate Director’s Office is located in the Student Center to offer commuters convenient access.
In addition to administrative mentoring, FYP also runs a popular peer mentor program for both first-year and transfer students. New students benefit from academic consultation, life-skills training, social networking, leadership development, and other personalized support services provided by the individual mentoring approach of their Coordinator and the personal development programs offered by this area.
Orientation
Coordinated by the Office of FYP & LD, Orientation is the initial step in the first year experience at Marist. The program is designed specifically to help new traditional undergraduate students begin a successful academic and personal transition to college. First Year Programs staff, with the assistance of student orientation leaders and peer mentors, educates students and parents about the wealth of opportunities and resources available at Marist from the moment they step on campus.
There is a one-day Orientation session that takes place in June for traditionalaged undergraduate students entering in the fall semester, followed by a series of required virtual orientation sessions in July. Orientation experiences are also provided for students new to the Marist campus in August and January. Orientation activities continue throughout the first year with a full Welcome Week of activities, workshops offered through the Personal Development Core, and other ongoing programs. The School of Professional Programs coordinates a separate orientation for adult students. This program is designed specifically to address the interests of adult students on the Marist campus.
Leadership Development
One of the biggest programs on campus, the Emerging Leaders Program (ELP) provides opportunities for traditional undergraduate students to gain the skills necessary to become influential leaders and develop into well-balanced citizens of the Marist and world community. Students can earn an annual non-credit certificate of completion by participating in a variety of programs and workshops designed to help them define, discover, and develop their leadership style. Marist also has an active chapter of the National Society of Leadership and Success on campus for ELP participants who want to further their leadership training while earning a National credential.
Student Conduct
The Office of Student Conduct is responsible for developing and administering a Code of Student Conduct that supports the College’s values, goals, and priorities. Marist College is committed to providing an environment that promotes academic learning, institutional and personal integrity, justice, and equality. The College considers all Marist students as partners in the responsibility of creating and maintaining that environment.
Utilizing an educational philosophy, the process informs students of their responsibilities as members of the community, involves students, faculty and staff in administering the student conduct process, and assists all members of the campus community to live and learn in an environment that is orderly, peaceful, and supportive of individual growth and development.
The College’s Code of Student Conduct outlines the behavior that is expected of all students at Marist. Having voluntarily enrolled at Marist, all students have entered into an agreement to be aware of and abide by the rules and regulations set forth in the Code of Student Conduct. Each student is responsible to conform his or her conduct to the requirements of this Code and applicable federal, state and local laws.
Violations of the Code of Student Conduct will be adjudicated by the College’s Student Conduct System, which is designed to reflect and to support the educational mission of the institution and to ensure the fair and equitable treatment of all individuals charged with or victimized by student misconduct.
Marist considers its Code of Student Conduct as minimal expectations and seeks to foster a commitment to the highest standards of ethical behavior by the coherent, consistent and fair manner in which it enforces its rules and regulations. The College views its judicial process as a learning experience that is intended to result in the growth and personal understanding of individual responsibilities on the part of all parties.
