We invite you to seek out a staff member at the college to serve as your personal advisor. This advisor can help you become an informed member of our college community and will be the person to turn to when you need assistance. We want you to succeed, but we depend on you to tell us if you find yourself in troubled waters. As a new college student you may have many other concerns and questions. Do seek out assistance when you have questions or are unsure of the path to follow.
Communication is the critical factor.
While in some instances your fellow students may be able to help, more often you should speak with a college representative. The first point of contact for concerns that relate to your course work is your classroom instructor. Much useful information can be found in the college catalog and Student Handbook. We hope that this brief introduction will be helpful to you as you begin your college career at Mercer.
