Dining
Ray Dining Hall is the main facility where food services are provided for students at Blue Mountain Christian University. Regular meals are provided for all resident students and are an option for commuter students. Students may also purchase food from vending machines located in Paschal Student Union Building (SUB) and other buildings on campus. Members of the Ministerial Association and Koinonia who commute may purchase a Wednesday lunch ticket for the luncheon meetings. Students may also purchase soft drinks and snacks in the Campus Store, located in the administration building. Hankins Dining Court, and outdoor dining addition, is now located outside of Ray Dining Hall.
Disability Services
Blue Mountain Christian University’s services for students with disability are designed to meet the unique educational needs of regularly enrolled students with a documented disability. The philosophy and mission of the program is to encourage independence, assist students in realizing their academic potential, and to facilitate the elimination of physical, programmatic, and attitudinal barriers.
The University will assist students in meeting their educational challenges. Students with disabilities should contact the Provost, who serves as the Disabilities Coordinator for Blue Mountain Christian University, to discuss the appropriate procedures for accommodating documented disabilities.
Health Services
Medical services, including hospitals, are located in both New Albany and Ripley. Any resident student who is ill enough to miss a meal, classes, or chapel is asked to report to the Resident Director. Any student needing medical attention while attending classes should report to the Office of Student Life or the Business Office. Parents or spouses are notified of any serious health problem that requires hospitalization.
Blue Mountain Christian University partners with MD Virtual Care, a Telehealth program offers medical and mental health services on and off campus. This is an “opt-in” program for students with a 12-month contract fee. Family members of students who choose the program have access at no additional charge.
Laundry Facilities
All residence halls have fully equipped laundry rooms to meet student needs.
Paschal Student Union Building (SUB)
Ping-Pong tables, an air hockey table, a Foosball table, and a smart TV are available for student use on the upper level of the SUB. This facility is closed during holidays and occasionally for special events. University offices located in the SUB on the lower level include the Office of Admissions, Office of Financial Aid, and the Office of Public Relations and Publications.
Student Success and Career Services
The Office of Student Success and Career Services provides assistance to students in three areas: scheduling/degree completion, attendance and student persistence, and career services. The staff assists students from enrollment to degree completion by monitoring degree progress, maintaining support for at-risk students, and offering resources for students who wish to pursue graduate work or to move directly into the job market. Students may access information on career services from the Office of Student Success and Career Services, located in Lowrey Administration Building, or by consulting the Student Success and Career Services web page on the BMCU web site.
Tutoring Services
The Teaching and Learning Center (TLC) is a free service to students who wish to improve their grades by enhancing their study skills and using their time wisely. In the TLC, students have access to thirty computers (including 10 Mac’s) and are given individualized attention by faculty and student tutors. Several programs are available including sessions on time management, stress management, and plagiarism. In addition, there are tutorials for mathematics and science, research documentation, and help for non-native speakers of English. Various tutorial workshops are offered throughout the year including topics such as test-taking skills and taking essay exams.
Wellness Center
Fifty different pieces of exercise equipment gives students access to a variety of physical exercises. These facilities serve the needs of the BMCU Family as a part of the philosophy of the University to nurture mind, body, and soul.
