Student Life
Mission Statement
The Student Life Division aims to recruit, retain and, through service oriented staff and programs, promote adjustment and enhance the total personal-educational experience of a qualified and pluralistic student body.
Reflective of the Lasallian tradition of education of the whole person, Student Life personnel provide programs, advisement and services for the educational, financial, emotional, occupational, athletic, physical, social, cultural and religious needs of the community.
Our mission includes the provision of a caring and safe campus environment and an enriched commuter and residential living and learning experience. Student Life programs reflect the College’s commitment to social justice, moral values and leadership and development opportunities through moderated student clubs and organizations. Direction and assistance is provided through disciplined guidance, and policies and procedure, that engender respect both for individual dignity and the rights of others in promoting student development. The mission also includes a commitment to serve and to help students develop quality, value-based relationships with their peers and families as well as with the entire Manhattan College community.
Purpose
The College offers a comprehensive program of student personnel services designed to develop the students’ potential for self-guidance in their efforts to achieve success in life as desirable members of society.
The Office of Campus Ministry / Social Action
As a Lasallian Catholic Institution, Manhattan provides the Office of Campus Ministry and Social Action (CMSA) in order to foster the values of “Faith, Service and Community” throughout the College. CMSA provides opportunities for students and the wider campus community to develop their spirituality; to perform community service; to reflect on issues of social justice; and to put faith into action. CMSA serves members of the College community through a variety of programs, including liturgies, discussions, retreats, lectures, service trips, local community service projects, and social events.
CMSA seeks to serve students of all religious traditions. Prayer and worship opportunities are sought for all community members. There are several retreat experiences available to students each semester. Catholic Mass is available both on weekdays and on Sunday evenings. CMSA assists members of the campus community interested in becoming Catholic or receiving the sacraments.
Many students participate in local community service projects. These include Habitat for Humanity, God’s Love We Deliver, work with the elderly in nearby nursing homes, feeding the hungry in soup kitchens, tutoring children and teens, the Annual Toy Drive, three blood drives, the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life and more. New projects are regularly developed in response to students’ interests.
CMSA sponsors domestic and international service learning trips during Intersession, Spring Break and the early summer. Jaspers have participated in service trips to Honduras, South Africa, Tijuana, Texas, Appalachia, and Camden, N.J.
The Campus Ministry Center, known as the Cornerstone, is located in Miguel Hall, room 209 with satellite offices of Social Action in Thomas Hall 503 and 504. Students are always welcome to drop in and enjoy the comfortable lounge, the library of current periodicals and the private offices where staff members are available for conversation, consultation and pastoral counseling.
Orientation Programs
In June, incoming first-year students are expected to participate in a two-day orientation program. The goals of this program are to provide an opportunity to meet with academic advisors, register for fall classes and gain insight into student life on campus. All students are expected to stay on campus overnight. Parents are invited to attend sessions planned especially for them. Additionally, during the beginning of each semester, workshops and activities are planned to help students gain valuable college and life skills.
Faculty Advisory System. The College administers a basic program of formal guidance designed to meet students’ needs for personalized and academic counseling from the time of admission to graduation. Greatest emphasis is placed on guidance throughout the freshman year, the period during which the student is most in need of assistance. Every first-year student is provided with a Faculty Advisor from his or her own academic School.
Center for Career Development
The College maintains a Center for Career Development designed to assist all students in systematically identifying, clarifying and achieving their career goals.
The Center offers individual career counseling which may be enhanced through the use of various decision-making tools such as Career Explorer. In addition to individual career counseling, group workshops are offered in the areas of career exploration, resume writing, interviewing, skills and job search techniques. A Career Development Seminar series is offered to freshmen and sophomores to help them prepare for the world of work.
A full range of placement services is provided for students seeking full-time, part-time and summer jobs, which are posted on-line for 24-hour access. For those seniors seeking full-time employment upon graduation, there is an active campus recruitment program available during the fall and spring semesters. Representatives from companies/organizations come to campus to interview students for career opportunities. A credentials file service is offered to support applications to graduate/professional schools and potential employers. The career resource library provides information on various career fields and contains annual reports and literature on many corporations and not-for-profit organizations.
To ease the transition from college to the world of work, a Cooperative Education Internship Program is available to students who have completed at least three semesters of study and who are in good academic standing. The Co-op/Internship Program gives students the opportunity for a series of meaningful off-campus work experiences related to their on-campus study and career interests. It complements and broadens one’s education through the practical application of the theoretical and technical knowledge gained in the classroom.
Manhattan co-ops/interns have had full-time and part-time placements in business, law firms, government agencies, social service organizations, museums, research laboratories, etc. Cooperative Education/Internships offers students a realistic way to explore and evaluate their interests, skills and career options while choosing to earn academic credit and an appropriate salary.
Sponsored by Career Development, The Mentor Program matches students with leading professionals. Meeting with mentors several times a semester, visiting the work sites, talking with other employees at the company, sitting in on a meeting, or sometimes participating in a project, offers the students opportunities to think about a chosen career field early in their college career. This program is available for freshman and sophomore Engineering students and sophomore and junior Liberal Arts, Business, Education and Science majors.
Counseling Center
The Counseling Center staff provide services to students and employees. Members of the College community may avail themselves of individual counseling, which is generally of a short-term nature, or may participate in group programs offered throughout the year. Educational workshops and materials, as well as referrals to community resources are also available. Those who utilize the services of the Center present a wide variety of problems and concerns, such as adjustment to college, resolving conflicts, improving relationships, reducing stress, coping with feelings of anxiety or depression, and concerns about alcohol or other substance abuse. In addition, Center staff provide consultation services by phone or in-office to those individuals who have questions or concerns about how to help others (e.g., friend, family member, student).
All services of the Counseling Center are confidential. Records maintained in the Counseling Center are separate from the college academic records. All staff members of the Counseling Center adhere to professional and ethical standards regarding confidentiality. The limits of confidentiality are discussed with each student at the first session.
The Counseling Center is located in Miguel Hall, Room 501. Appointments are recommended (call ext. 7394), however, walk-ins are accommodated as quickly as scheduling permits. The office is open weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and evenings by appointment.
Health Services
Health Services staff provide medical care for common health problems, including: acute illnesses, injuries, blood pressure checks, vision screenings, allergy injections, suture removal, nutritional counseling and a variety of other health-related services. In addition, the staff facilitates referrals to off-campus health care providers when necessary. Services are available to all registered students. Medical services provided by our nurse practitioner and physicians are at no charge. Likewise, students do not pay for any prescription medicines that we have available in stock. If a student requires outside services, such as laboratory analysis, x-rays, etc., they will be responsible for payment to that provider of services.
Health Services is located in Alumni Hall, Room 104 (next to the Fitness Center). The office is open every day at 9:00 am. The Nurse Practitioner’s hours are Monday, Wednesday, Friday 9:00 am-4:30 pm, Tuesday and Thursday 11:00 am-6:30 pm. The College Physicians’ hours are Tuesday 3:00-4:30 pm and Thursday 5:00-6:30 pm. Students are advised to call (718-862-7217) ahead of time before coming to see the doctors, although walk-ins are accepted.
Students in need of health care after Health Service hours may contact residence life staff or security for assistance. Medical care is always available at the Allen Pavilion Emergency Room (Broadway and 217th St.), which is part of the Columbia/New York Presbyterian Hospital System.
Medical Emergencies: Whenever a medical emergency arises, Campus Security (718-862-7333) should be contacted immediately. Campus Security responds to all emergency calls 24 hours a day, notifying Health Services or New York City Emergency Medical Services as appropriate. While every effort will be made to notify parents or guardians in case of serious illness or accidents requiring emergency treatment, it is understood and agreed that even without such notification those concerned give their permission and consent to the College to take such measures as may be deemed necessary.
Immunizations: New York State Law mandates that all students born after January 1, 1957 submit proof of their immunity against measles, mumps and rubella to the College as well as a completed Meningitis Response Form. Records may generally be obtained from the student’s private physician or previous educational institution. Faxed copies (to 718-862-7797) are acceptable if they are clear and legible. If a student cannot obtain his/her immunization records, s/he may arrange to have a blood test to determine immunity. A blood test can be conducted at Health Services, although the student will be responsible for the laboratory analysis fee. Free MMR immunizations are available at Health Services for those who need them. Any student who is having trouble obtaining the necessary medical records should contact the Health Services staff for assistance (718-862-7217). Immunization compliance matters can generally be resolved quickly once a student requests assistance.
Insurance and Fees. The College provides a basic Student Accident Insurance Plan for all full-time undergraduates upon registration. An additional Sickness Insurance Plan is available on a voluntary basis. Inquiries regarding insurance should be directed to the Vice President/Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer (718-862-7356).
The Performing Arts
There are six performing arts ensembles on the campus of Manhattan College. These are: The Manhattan College Singers (chorus), The Manhattan College Players (drama), The Manhattan College Jazz Ensemble (band), The Jasper Dancers, the Manhattan College Bagpipers (Gaelic pipes and drums) and the Manhattan College Orchestra. Together, they provide an important segment of College life. Each is dedicated to pursuing the best of their art. They provide an opportunity for students to continue to develop their artistic talents and to experience the worth of artistic creation. They provide for the campus a calendar of performances that complements the academic, social and athletic offerings provided by the College for all Faculty, Staff and Students. These ensembles implement the overall mission of the College to provide a place where young people may fully develop their intellectual, social and artistic potential. For further information, contact the Coordinator of the Performing Arts at (718) 862-7254.

International students can obtain all necessary documents and information regarding procedures administered by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), divisions of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, from the International Student Advisor. Information and programming designed to aid the students’ adjustment to living and studying in New York City are provided throughout the year.

Student Privacy Rights
Background Information
The primary purpose of The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 is to grant college students “the right to inspect and review any and all official records, files and data directly related to them,” and generally to deny access by others without written consent of the student except in limited and specified circumstances.
Definitions and Procedures
Included with the coverage of the Act is any person who is or was enrolled in Manhattan as a student (including full time and part time undergraduate and graduate students, day and evening).
In compliance with and subject to the provisions of this legislation and the College’s Statement on the Confidentiality of Student Records, the College will make available to each student the College’s official records, files and data falling within the scope of the Act to each student for his or her personal review and inspection. Specifically excluded from the definition are: personal notes of teachers, supervisors and administrators which are retained in their possession and are not accessible to others except substitutes; medical and psychiatric records except that these records may be reviewed by a physician or other professional of the student’s choice; the Parent’s Confidential Statement; letters of recommendation placed in the file before January 1, 1975; and campus security records.
Students wishing to inspect and review any of their official records and material contained therein should file a request in writing with the Registrar. Forms for such requests-in-writing will be made available. All proper requests will be complied with as soon as reasonably possible, but no later than forty-five days of the date of the request.
A hearing may be requested by a student to insure that his or her records are not inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of his or her privacy or other rights, to provide an opportunity for the correction or deletion of any such inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise inappropriate data contained therein or to challenge the content thereof. An appropriate hearing procedure has been established by the College and is included in the Statement of Confidentiality of Student Records.
The Law prohibits the release of material in a student’s file without written consent of the student, except to officials and teachers of the same school, another school where the student intends to enroll, and certain state and federal officials.
A copy of the Law and a copy of the Statement is available in the Office of the Registrar and the Office of the Vice President for Student Life.
