In order to minimize the spread of COVID-19, all Spring/Summer courses will be delivered remotely. St. Mary’s University has made the change to protect the safety of our community, as we are making every effort to maintain a quality experience and to offer additional learning opportunities for our students. We remain committed to bringing students the quality learning experience they expect from St. Mary’s.
