What is the SMC portal?

A portal is, very broadly, a one page gateway that connects you to SMC services and information. The My Saint Mary’s Portal allows for single sign on, meaning you only have to sign on once to the portal to connect to your SMC email, course content, SIS portal, calendar and more.

Student's Right to Privacy

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 protects the privacy of a student's education records by placing limits on whom may have access to the records, what information may be shared or disclosed, and how that information may be used.

Encourage Student Involvement

The High School Concurrent Enrollment program gives students actual college exposure and experience. Our staff is here to help and guide them through the process, and the program is an ideal opportunity for students to gain skills and encounter and resolve issues relevant to their futures with a support team in place.

Getting High School Credit

Our courses are college courses. This may seem obvious, but it means that we do not make equivalencies to high school courses. Sometimes high schools do give credit for our courses to meet high school graduation requirements, but such decisions are strictly between the student and their high school.

Program Fees

Tuition is FREE for all resident students physically attending high school in California; a savings of $138 to $276 for a typical High School Concurrent Enrollment program participant. Students are responsible for all other fees (e.g., course materials, books, health fee, and Student ID card (optional)). More information concerning fees .

Special Accommodations

SMC offers services to students with disabilities through our Disabled Student Programs and Services Office (DSPS). Students should contact them directly to get more information.

Homework and Preparing for Class

College classes demand an average of two to three hours of homework for each hour of class. A 3-unit class will have approximately 6-9 hours of homework each week, and the total time commitment of about 12 hours a week. Unlike high school, there is no classroom time for homework.

Attendance

Most faculty members are aware of a student's pattern of attendance and may factor it into the final grade. Regardless of whether the student has attended class, the instructor will hold them accountable for understanding the material covered in class or assigned for that day.

Why is SMC important?

Why? Because you'll be better at understanding information and solving problems: two of the most important skills in any job or career.

Is SMC college expensive?

College is expensive, but it's an investment in your future that will pay off. SMC has not raised tuition in five years and offers financial aid packages that make a private education on our small, friendly campus as affordable as many huge public South Carolina colleges.
