Peer Academic Advisors


Advise and Mentor SOE Undergrads


Why?

UCR is a big place and one of our goals at the SOE is to put the university on a more human scale. We care about the whole student so we provide peer advisors to help students navigate both UCR and the SOE. Sometimes students want the advice of a student who has gone through the same process that another student is currently going through – and they want to talk to a peer about it.  That's when a student needs a Peer Academic Advisor.
 

Peer Academic Advising

Throughout the term, our SOE Peer Academic Advisors are available to provide assistance with degree audit review, term planning, Enrollment Adjustment Forms (EAF), registration, and workshops. Or maybe you just need some advice about life at UCR or how to succeed at the SOE. Let a Peer Advisor help.
