Peer Academic Advising Program

Hey everybody! As you may know, enrollment windows open today, and this may lead to some questions you may have regarding your schedule. We PAAs just wanted to remind you that you have several resources at your fingertips that can help provide answers for these questions. Apart from us, there are Peer Academic Advisors available in every academic school here on campus. They can give you very detailed information and help regarding your school and major requirements specifically. For more information please visit the PAA Website.

Some of you may be working on your 4 year plans while others may be fulfilling the last of your requirements before graduation. Either way, just remember that your PAAs here in the CHP and in your respective schools are here to help you out with your questions and problems!
