Woods College New Space
As the Woods College continues to grow, we are in need of larger space to best serve our faculty, students and advisors. Many members of the Woods College staff will be relocating to a beautiful home that is part of BC's campus on Hammond Street, Haley House.
Haley House will be devoted entirely to the Woods College.
When is the move taking place?
Our academic advisors and most program directors will be moving to Haley House on March 8, 2017. The majority of current students will be able to meet with their advisors at Haley House anytime after March 9th. All Woods College staff who were located in Carney Hall will now be located in Haley House.
Where is Haley House located?
Haley House is on Hammond Street near Upper Campus. Heading north on Beacon Street, you would take a left on Hammond, and Haley House is the 5th house down on your left located at 314 Hammond Street. It is directly at the corner at Hammond Street and Stone Avenue. A detailed map may be found
here
.
What are the office office hours?
Monday to Thursday, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Saturday, closed.
Where can I park?
Students may park directly in front of Haley House while visiting Woods staff or for Woods Events.
How do I know where my advisor is located?
Will any of Woods College still be in St. Mary's Hall?
Yes, the front office and front office staff will remain in the same location. All prospective students and student events will take place at St. Mary's Hall. New student registration and walk in registration will still take place in St. Mary's Hall South. All Deans will remain in St. Mary's Hall.

Sarah Says
A piece of advice from long term BC Woods College employee, Sarah
Piepgrass,
Academic & Student Services Specialist:
Following along with my two previous segments about speaking up in class, I urge you to be mindful that a HUGE factor of success in college (and in life) is communication. Use the opportunities presented by listening and contributing to discussions, and by asking and answering questions, to help you learn to think critically, apply sound logic, speak clearly, and develop solid conclusions. These skills are invaluable and can be used to great advantage by you in your career and your life.
