Plan. Succeed.

The Student Success Center partners with both students and faculty advisors to offer a variety of services and resources to support students’ academic plans and help them achieve success.

It is our goal in the Student Success Center to provide academic planning guidance, discuss academic goals, and provide information that supports student’s unique and individual needs. Please contact us at success@meredith.edu and we look forward to working with you!

Faculty Advisors

Faculty advisors are prepared and excited to work with all students regardless of major interests. When students declare a major, they are assigned a faculty advisor within their program of study who they will work with for the remainder of their time at Meredith.

Responsibilities of Faculty Advisors:

• Assist students in their consideration and clarification of educational goals
• Assist students in developing a plan of study consistent with their goals and objectives
• Provide accurate information to students and be appropriately available for discussions
• Possess knowledge of programs, resources, policies and procedures
• Provide timely attention to academic advising matters
• Assist students in evaluation and re-evaluation of progress toward established goals and educational plans
• Make referrals to resources within and outside of the college as appropriate
• Encourage the advisee to assume her share of the responsibility for the advising relationship

Student Advisor

Incoming students are paired with an upper-level student who has been selected to serve as as a peer advisor and assistant to faculty advisors. Throughout the advising process, students will meet with these advisors for guidance regarding academic choices, to plan course schedules and to receive support during their first year in college.

Responsibilities of Student Advisors:

• Provide a mentor relationship to first-year students
• Introduce first-year students to student life and Meredith traditions
• Support first-year students in developing an academic plan and effective study habits
• Refer students in need of additional support to campus resources
• Assist the faculty advisor in providing support and information to first-year students
