MERITS Program Requirements
MERITS participants must agree to be an active participant in the following required activities:
- Meet with a peer advisor every other week
- Attend a workshop every other week
- Maintain a grade sheet for the classes in which you are enrolled
- Submit a mid-semester academic progress report for each class
- Sign up for tutoring for all classes in which tutoring is provided
MERITS is based on the idea that students should be the most active and responsible participants in their own success. We encourage students to attend various U of A activities to help facilitate personal, professional and academic development. Students can earn points for attending these activities and participants with the highest point totals after two semesters are recognized with a book scholarship.
