Success Appointments

A success appointment is a one-on-one meeting offered by the Office for Student Success and available to all residential undergraduate students on the Macon campus. Meet individually with an experienced staff member who will work with you to discuss your objectives for the semester and strategies for reaching your goals, as well as ensure you are connected with resources and support to assist you in your Mercer journey.

No student arrives at college “having it all figured out.” You may not know how to manage your time with college coursework, how to communicate with faculty, what your self-care should look like, what an account hold is, or how to advocate for your needs. It takes time, experience, and intentional action to learn how to reach your fullest potential while in college. Schedule a success appointment to take an intentional step forward toward your personal goals.

Success appointments are tailored to each student. We will ask you general questions to get to know you, but we will give you the opportunity to steer the conversation. You are welcome to come with a specific question or concern in mind (e.g., motivation, time management, change of major, rebounding from a setback, etc.), or you may not know exactly how or whether you need help. We will focus on opportunities and strategies so that you leave the meeting with clear action steps.

Schedule an appointment with an Office for Student Success staff member through your Student Success Portal. While scheduling the appointment, you will have the opportunity to write any relevant information that can help us prepare for the meeting (for instance, if there is a particular topic you’d like to discuss). Feel free to schedule an appointment at any point in the semester!
