Information for Parents

Pandemic Flu

Dear Students, Parents, Staff, and Faculty,

Within the past week we have seen an increase in influenza like illness, just as we have seen in the community and the country. Most doctors are not testing for the illness, but rather diagnosing by symptoms only. Since there are similar illnesses, it is impossible to tell for sure if it is definitely “swine flu”.

We are encouraging those with influenza symptoms (fever, cough, sore throat, achiness, fatigue) to stay at home in an effort to decrease the spread of the illness. You are not to return until you have been free of fever for 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medications like Tylenol or ibuprofen.

Please contact Health Services by phone or email to report your illness. If you have a medical condition or develop severe symptoms, it is urgent that you contact your physician as soon as possible because you may need antiviral medication. We have increased our disinfection efforts on campus and need your help to stop the spread of disease. Please stay home if ill, seek medical attention if necessary, and as always, wash your hands, thoroughly and frequently, avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth, and cough into your sleeve.

Overview

Whether you're the parent preparing to see your child graduate from high school, or a parent about to watch your senior graduate from Medaille, we want to provide you with the resources and information to learn about our campus and our programs.

Parent Advisory Council

The Parent Advisory Council (PAC) is designed to promote meaningful and active parent and guardian involvement in the College. The parents will voluntarily work side by side with the college to help make the experiences of our students rewarding and to promote the Medaille College experience. More »

Applying to School

High school students and non-traditional learners generally have their first contact with Medaille through our Admissions Office. They will guide you through the application process, and direct you to the Financial Aid Office for information about financial support.

Learning at Medaille

From biology to veterinary technology, and everything in between, Medaille has undergraduate programs that appeal to all interests and strengths. Each degree program emphasizes academic excellence, career experience, and a strong liberal arts component.

Living at Medaille

Resident students have the benefit of living minutes from classrooms, faculty offices, athletic facilities, and club meeting areas. Commuters will find that the events and activities offered throughout the day and into the evening will keep them busy while not in class. Students will experience what Buffalo and the greater Western New York region has to offer.

Visiting Campus

Parents who live in the Buffalo area should have no problems locating our main campus. If you can find where Rt. 198 (the Scajaquada) meets Parkside Drive (just west of Rt. 5/Main Street), you can find our campus. For those parents who reside outside the area, we have extensive directions, hotel information, local information and a campus map (PDF, 290K) in our Visit Medaille section, and within our Campus Tour.
