At Holy Cross, everyone looks out and cares for everyone else — including the faculty and staff members who provide personal support and guidance to our students. We invest in students’ happiness and success by connecting them to faculty advisors who provide one-on-one academic advice, dedicated deans associated with each class year and other essential resources.
Support From Day One
At Holy Cross, your advisor isn’t someone you talk to for a few minutes once a year; they are part of a dedicated support system focused on your success. As a small undergraduate-only institution, we have the capacity and commitment to give every student the personal attention needed to excel.
Advising at Holy Cross is a personal process that reflects each student’s intellectual journey. Our advisors are all members of our faculty who take on the role of mentor and sounding board, working with students to discuss the broad range of academic and career options available.
The class dean system is one of the most singular characteristics of academic life at Holy Cross. A dedicated dean remains with each incoming class from matriculation through graduation. They remain a constant during the student’s four years, and play a crucial role in monitoring and helping to advance individual students’ progress.
Fulbrights, Goldwaters, Rhodes and more. Earning these prestigious awards opens the door to new and exciting opportunities — and Holy Cross students have an outstanding track record in doing so. Learn how to become the next success story.

Our seven libraries give you access to just about every book, text or resource you’ll ever need and our professional librarians will help you find the exact one you’re looking for.
