Peer Advising

Peer Advisors are undergraduate students thoroughly trained and able to assist their peers in identifying campus resources, navigating SiS and providing the kind of UMass Lowell (UML) process hacks that only a fellow student can provide.

Among other skills, Peer Advisors can assist with:

• ScheduleBuilder.
• SiS.
• Advisement Reports.
• Class Search.
• Identifying campus offices for process-related questions.
• General help with understanding requirements, such as Breadth of Knowledge, and policies, such as Withdrawal deadlines.
• Academic coaching to help strengthen your academic skills.

When and Where to Find Peer Advisors

Academic Peer Advising

Peer advisors are available both on campus and virtually for advising and registration help. The searchable schedule allows you to get help with advising and registration related questions.

During the semester, peer advisors also offer bookable appointments to strengthen academic skills. Undergraduate day students can access these appointments to work on time management, academic skill building, learning strategies and final exam prep (end of the semester). If you are a Graduate and Professional Studies (GPS) student (undergraduate or graduate) you can call: 978-934-2474 for academic support.
