At Marian University, we believe parents, siblings, and other family members are essential to student success and development.

Getting involved in campus life is easy.

Resources for you and your student.
We encourage you to spend time exploring www.marian.edu, where you’ll find links to and information about campus offices and services. For your convenience, here is a short list of the most important campus resources that parents and family members should know.
- If you have questions about when classes begin or end, check current and future academic calendars.
- Student safety and campus security is important to us. Marian University’s police officers are fully vested law enforcement professionals who patrol and protect our campus around-the-clock.
- If your student isn’t feeling well, he or she can visit our Student Health Center, located in Clare Hall.
- Students who need a little help navigating the world of college can visit our Student Counseling and Consultation Center, where staff can help them manage anxiety, depression, and other struggles that are preventing them from reaching their full potential.
- Career counseling, interview preparation, internship, and employment assistance is offered through The Exchange. We also offer an online job board for students called Handshake.
- If you have a question about tuition, fees, payment options, and payment procedures, staff in the Business Office can help. Contact them at busoff@marian.edu, 800.952.3917, or 317.955.6020.
- Does your student need wheels? Transportation in and around Indianapolis is not a problem for Marian University students who don’t have cars. With two Blue Indy stations on campus and student discounts, having access to a set of wheels is easy and cost-effective.
