Learning Resources | 2026-27 Academic Catalog

Meridian’s Research Library includes several leading research databases in the fields of psychology and education, and a specialized collection of books and videos relevant to integral-imaginal psychology, transformative learning, mystical philosophy, spiritual traditions, and related anthropological sources. The psychology section also includes psychological assessment materials. The electronic databases are provided by the American Psychological Association (APA) and the Education Resources Information Center (ERIC).Meridian’s Student Services Team is available to all students and faculty to assist with electronic retrieval of information and other library research needs. In addition, the library at Sonoma State University (Jean and Charles Schulz Information Center, a 20-minute drive from Meridian), is available to students by obtaining a Community Borrower’s Card. Similar arrangements can be made at Tolman Library, located on the Berkeley campus of the University of California. Community Borrower’s Cards are available to students for a modest fee. Students who live at a distance from these research libraries are expected to make arrangements with their nearest research library. Students who do more than 50% of their coursework online, upon review and approval, are refunded the cost they incur in accessing library resources that supplement those available from Meridian.The Office of Student Assistance and Relief is available to support prospective students, current students, or past students of private postsecondary educational institutions in making informed decisions, understanding their rights, and navigating available services and relief options. The office may be reached by calling (888) 370-7589 or by visiting https://www.osar.bppe.ca.gov/.
