Holy Cross College

What does Holy Cross College offer in terms of athletics?

Holy Cross College offers intercollegiate athletics under the Saints name, alongside opportunities for intramural and recreational participation. Prospective athletes should distinguish a current varsity roster from a club, informal activity, or sport listed in a broad student-interest survey.

Sports associated with the college include basketball, soccer, golf, tennis, and volleyball; the availability and competitive status of any particular team can change. A student hoping to compete should check the current athletics roster, association and conference information, and recruiting process for the specific sport. Participation or an athletics award should never be assumed from admission to the college.

What student groups and Associations are available at Holy Cross College?

Holy Cross College lists Student Government Association, Campus Ministry, a Commuter Student Organization, and SAGE among its student involvement opportunities. These provide different routes into campus life: representation, faith and service activities, commuter connections, and peer community.

Students can also look for intramural activities and performing-arts participation. A group's presence on a published list does not establish how often it meets in a given semester, so an activities fair or current student-organization directory is more useful for finding active officers, events, and membership requirements.

Who studies at Holy Cross College?

Holy Cross College enrolls about 661 students in the reported institutional count. Its entering first-time class included 286 students, and 19 transfer-in students were reported separately. These figures describe different populations and should not be added to or treated as a breakdown of total enrollment without matching reporting definitions.

Among reported students, 41% were Indiana residents and 55% came from other U.S. states; a smaller share came from outside the United States. The student body includes students across multiple racial and ethnic groups. These figures are useful for understanding the college's geographic reach but do not, on their own, describe an individual student's sense of belonging.

How does student life look like at Holy Cross College?

Holy Cross College combines a residential campus experience with a substantial commuter population. About 67% of students are reported to live on campus, while 33% commute, so activities and support need to work for students who spend different amounts of time there.

Campus life includes student events, ministry, recreation, and performing arts. The college also reports a health clinic and personal or psychological counseling. New students should check orientation information for how to access these services and for the practical details - such as hours, appointments, and after-hours support - that matter during a semester.

What libraries are available to students at Holy Cross College?

McKenna Library is Holy Cross College's main campus library. It gives students a place to work and a starting point for finding materials needed for classes and research.

Students with a research-intensive major should check the library's current catalog, database access, research-help services, and borrowing arrangements for materials it does not hold. Library hours, study-space rules, and remote access to electronic resources can change during breaks and examination periods, so they are best checked for the relevant term.
