The director, who specializes in language skills, and the math specialist, available weekdays and evenings, staffs the Center by appointment. Advising Program Upon entering Mount Mercy College, students are assigned to faculty advisers from their major program who meet with individual students to help facilitate the transition to college and the ongoing progress toward degree completion. Students are expected to meet with their advisers prior to registration each year and whenever necessary.
Advisers serve as the most knowledgeable resource for students in their major programs of study.
