Frequently Asked Questions

How do I increase my student’s meal plan?

Please contact Student Accounts to add to your student’s meal plan at 508-849-3425 or studentaccounts@annamaria.edu. Once your payment has been processed, the additional meals will be available on your student’s ID. If your student needs a meal right away, they can ask the Dining Services greeter to manually add the meal to their account in the meantime.

My student is struggling (academically/socially etc.). How can we find support?

Our Student Academic Support Services team is ready to help. Whether your student needs help with writing, goal setting, time management, organization, or tutoring in a specific subject, we have a team of professionals and student tutors who are ready to set your student up for academic success. For any questions about what our Student Academic Support Services include please contact Kaitlin Hanlon the Student Success Coordinator at (508) 849-3358, or via email khanlon@annamaria.edu. For social and other concerns, the RAs and RDs in your student’s residence hall are a great resource.
