New Adult Undergraduate Student Checklist

Congratulations on your acceptance to Marist College! Now that you have made the decision to join the Marist community, please refer to the checklist below for helpful tips on what to do next!

1. Request Transcripts

If you recently completed a degree, request that your updated official transcript be sent from your previous institution as proof-of-degree.

2. Deliver Immunization Form to Health Services

N.Y.S. Public Health Law 2165 requires post-secondary students to show protection against measles, mumps and rubella. All students, including those taking only online courses, must complete the immunization form. Persons born prior to January 1, 1957, are exempt from this requirement.

Please note that you will not be able to register for courses if there is not an immunization form on record.

As classes fill up quickly, we recommend students call to make an appointment with their advisor as soon as they are accepted!

To be connected with your advisor, use the following phone numbers:

Fishkill Center Programs: (845) 897-9648

The Office of Housing and Residential Life compiles a listing of available rental properties in the local area.

Students who wish to attend campus events or use the library must obtain a Marist College Identification Card. The Marist ID also enables access to Marist Money services, for more information.
