Resources for Students

The Dean of Students Office is here to help support you with any personal circumstances that may upset your experience at MSUM. Contact us to schedule a one-on-one consultation about your success and what we can do to help you achieve your personal or educational goals. We manage student leaves and absences.

Navigating Student Absences & Leaves

Sometimes life happens and a student needs to be away from school, either a short period of time or an extended time. MSUM and the Dean of Students Office seek to support students during those times.

  • Student Bereavement Leave Policy
    Students who have lost a close family member can request up to 5 days of excused absence from school to be with family.
  • Student Absence Policy
    Students may request excused absences through the Dean of Students Office for the following reasons:
    1. Participation in recognized student organization activity;
    2. Short-term military requirements;
    3. Long-term illnesses or family or personal emergencies; or
    4. Jury Duty.
  • Request for Student Leave

Mental Health Emergencies

Student Parent Navigator

MSUM encourages students who are pregnant and/or parenting to reach out to our Student Parent Navigators, a resource for individuals who may need assistance in meeting their and their family's basic needs. Navigators can help student-parents find support services both on campus and in the local community. Request assistance from a Student Parent Navigator.
