Student Support Services

Orientation

The College of LifeLong Learning serves men and women of all ages so that they can earn a college degree, a certification, or credit for courses of special interest. Most CLL students study on a part-time basis. Orientation to the university and explanation of the curriculum the student has chosen takes place during individual counseling sessions conducted by a College of LifeLong Learning counselor and - depending on the curriculum - a faculty advisor. Students enrolling in traditional-length continuing education courses (Continuing Education or CE students)are invited to a formal orientation on a weekday night at the beginning of each semester.

Students choosing an accelerated degree completion program (ACCEL^® students) are formally introduced to the mission of the university and the policies and procedures governing their program two weeks before the beginning of the cohort's coursework.

Bookstore

The Barnes and Noble bookstore is located on the terrace level of Good Counsel Hall and carries books and lists requirements for all courses offered on the main campus. Needed materials usually arrive several weeks before the beginning of classes. Store hours accommodate course beginning times and dates. You can also visit the bookstore online.

Off-site Programs

Students studying at off-site locations order books and course materials through MBS Direct. Orders are placed either by phone, fax, or on the Web and texts are delivered directly to the student's home.

Library

Gabriele Library is open seven days a week and its staff welcomes the adult learner. The extensive holdings and resources of the Library are explained at various orientation sessions arranged for special student groups. All students in the ACCEL nursing cohorts must attend, on a Friday or Saturday at Immaculata, program-related activities, which include a Library orientation. Other students are urged to attend formal Library orientation workshops offered free of charge several times during the fall and spring semesters. For more information about the Library, click on the Library link.

All students have full access to all online resources through the Internet by using their Immaculata network account.

Student ID

Registered students are entitled to a student identification card.  This is a picture I.D. that allows students to borrow library materials and to receive discounts at various businesses.

Often, special arrangements are made for particular groups of students for the provision of this card. Please call extension 3112 to confirm hours and to make inquiries regarding I.D. cards.

Parking

All students parking on campus must display an Immaculata University parking permit. During the first week of the semester, permits are available in the Student Affairs Center during the early evening hours. Thereafter, students register their vehicle in the Campus Safety Office located on the terrace level in Lourdes Hall. Safety officers ticket cars not properly registered or illegally parked. Students attending classes at an off-site location must follow parking regulation as posted or announced by the host institution or facility.
