Peer Advising
Peer advising is done by other students and is also available. Peer advisors do not have signature authority for approvals needed for courses and forms (done by Faculty Advisors) but can provide useful experiences and information for students. The peer advisors are located at the ANSEP building (near the Bookstore shown on the above linked map).

The Peer Advising Center supports students with an interest in engineering, first-year, and second-year engineering students. Specifically for incoming freshman it assists in their transition from high school to the rigorous academic demands of the School of Engineering. The center fosters success by assisting in the development of their academic plans and career goals, as well as their personal decision making.
