The Red Folder Initiative
Students may experience different levels of distress across various areas of their lives. The type and amount of distress they are experiencing will require different actions and resources. The Red Folder initiative is a guide to help those who interact with students to recognize and be able to respond effectively and refer students in distress to the available resources we have at Mercy University.
COVID-19 Information
Our number one priority is to protect and support the health, wellness, safety and welfare of our students, faculty, staff and Mercy community.
Mercy University is no longer requiring the COVID-19 Vaccination and booster, however we continue to strongly urge all students to remain up to date with recommended COVID-19 vaccines and boosters.
