Following Students

The  Follow button on a Merit page lets the people who care about a student's success get alerts whenever their page gets updated. If a student's page is configured to allow followers, the Follow button will appear under their bio: 

Clicking the Follow button will take you to a screen where you can either log in or create a Follower account. If you don't yet have an account, fill out the form on the right side of your screen:

Please note that signing up for a Merit Follower account will not create a public Merit page for you. It will create an account that lets you stay up to date on others' academic achievements.

Once your account is created you can log in and manage your account. You will see three tabs in the left sidebar:

Manage Your Follower Settings

From the My Account tab, you can update your preferences. Including your name, email, hometown, password, profile photo, alma mater and employer. Click Update after making any changes: 

Here you can also connect your Merit follower account to Facebook or Twitter, allowing you to quickly share stories there.

Your News Feed 

The News Feed section will give you a timeline of achievements for all of the students' whose Merit pages you follow. Click on the News Feed in the side in the sidebar to see what they're up to on campus:
