Supporting the whole student

Molloy Cares

At Molloy University, we are committed to caring for the whole student. Grounded in our Catholic and Dominican mission, we recognize that a student’s ability to learn and thrive is closely connected to having their basic needs met. 

We understand that some students may experience challenges related to food insecurity, housing instability, or financial stress. You are not alone, and support is available. This page highlights campus and community resources designed to assist students facing these challenges and to help ensure that all members of our community have access to the essentials needed for well-being and success.  

If you need assistance that is not addressed through the resources listed below, please email molloycares@molloy.edu and a member of our team will follow up with you. Submissions are reviewed by campus partners working together to support students; however, this process is not intended for emergency situations. 

If you or someone else is in immediate danger or experiencing an emergency, please contact Public Safety at (516) 323-3500 if you are on Molloy’s Rockville Centre campus. For all other Molloy University locations, please dial 911.

Food insecurity

Food insecurity is a real and growing challenge affecting college students nationwide, including members of our own Molloy community. We recognize that reliable access to nutritious food is essential for academic success, well-being, and dignity. Molloy is committed to supporting students facing food insecurity through resources, both on and off campus.  

Housing

We recognize that stable housing is essential to student well-being and academic success. At times, students may experience unexpected housing challenges due to financial hardship, family circumstances, or other emergencies. Molloy is committed to supporting students and helping them navigate housing instability by providing resources to help ensure their safety and continuity in their education.
