As Meredith has moved to a remote learning model for the remainder of the semester, academic programs are not the only aspect of college life that have moved online. Meredith has an array of virtual resources available for prospective students and current students.
Admissions
High school students can still connect with Meredith’s Admissions Office. A special Virtual Experience section of the admissions website allows students to experience Meredith virtually. The site includes options to connect with admissions and financial assistance counselors, to speak with faculty members, and take virtual tours of campus and the residence halls.
Financial Assistance
Prospective students and current students can connect with Financial Assistance staff virtually. Contact the office by email to schedule a Zoom consultation. Visit the Financial Assistance web page for details.
For current students, most Meredith offices have adapted their offerings to a virtual model. Students should check department sites on MyMeredith for full details.
Learning Center
Tutors are available for virtual Learning Center appointments on Zoom. Peer tutors from the Learning Center are also a resource for students who need support managing online learning. Appointments may be scheduled on the Learning Center website.
Library
While the Carlyle Campbell Library building is closed, most library services are available through its virtual branch. Students can access online resources via the library’s home page. Other services include talking to a librarian for research assistance or for finding specific resources. Chat services are available on Sundays, 1 p.m.-9 p.m., Mondays-Thursdays from 9 a.m.- 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. – 10 p.m., and Fridays from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Consultation appointments are available via Zoom.
