Students may select one of three meal plan options. These plans come with Munch Mooney, a great feature for students who miss a scheduled meal. Munch Money is used in place of cash at any Sodexo location on campus.

The newly renovated lower level of Hamilton Commons features Scotty’s, an on-campus convenience store, and a one-stop Student Services Center comprising the Business, Financial Aid, and Registrar’s offices. The Student Services Center offers students an easily accessible, single stop location to address needs related to student employment and payroll, financial aid, billing, course registration and the purchase of parking decals.

The Registrar’s Office provides information pertaining to classes, degree requirements, honors and transcripts.

Financial aid questions and concerns are handled in the Financial Aid Office.

Students make tuition and other College-related payments in the Business Office, while monthly paychecks for work-study and other student employees are issued from the Business Office.

Completed in 1967, this building was named in honor of former Alma President Roy W. Hamilton.

Student Profile

Emily Hollenberg

Emily Hollenberg
Graduation: 2014
Major: English

Whether she’s reading a Pulitzer Prize-winning bestseller or penning a novel of her own, Indiana junior Emily Hollenberg’s native language is literature.

“I’ve loved English my whole life, and once I outgrew the firefighter stage, I knew I wanted to teach it,” she says. “I would like to be a high school teacher and also continue to write, whether as a novelist, poet or blogger. You can express yourself in a different way through reading and writing. They transport you to a different world for a while.”
