Peer Advising
What do Peer Advisors do?
​Peer Advisors help students with basic advising questions and serve as a resource to connect University College students with their Advisor and general campus resources. Peer Advisors are able to answer general questions that students have about scheduling appointments, registering for classes, finding campus resources, etc. Peer Advisors can also help students with software programs like Connect, Banner Self Service, and DegreeWorks.
