NOT SURE YOU CAN AFFORD GROCERIES? It’s hard to focus on your studies and your goals when you’re not sure where your next meal is coming from. CSM’s Hawk Pantry is available on the La Plata, Leonardtown, Regional Hughesville (by appointment only), and Prince Frederick campuses for students experiencing food insecurity.
Any current CSM student or employee in need can come to any of our four Hawk Pantry locations and receive up to 30 pounds of food per week, at zero cost and with complete confidentiality.
CSM's Student Needs Outreach Office can help eligible students sign up for benefits through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). To learn more and to make an appointment, email hawksgethelp@csmd.edu and be sure to include your name, student identification number, and contact information.
Whether you’re looking for an on- or off-campus job, a paid internship, or a potential career path, College Central Network is the go-to career posting site for CSM students and alumni. Upload your current resume or create one using a template and start searching for the position that’s right for you. There’s also a video and print library on topics related to getting and keeping the job, such as salary negotiations, attending job and career fairs, and more!
Don’t get dropped from your spring classes for nonpayment! Be sure to pay your semester bill or sign up for the CSM Payment Plan on or before Jan. 8, 2025. You can still register for spring classes after Jan. 8, but you will need to make your payment or enroll in CSM's payment plan the same day you register.
