Under the direction of the Office of Academic Advising, academic peer advisors work closely with our faculty advisors to help our incoming first-year and transfer students navigate college life at Puget Sound.
Peer Advising Program 2022-23
What is an Academic Peer Advisor?
An academic peer advisor (PA) is a junior or senior student employed by the Office of Academic Advising. They undergo rigorous training before the academic year begins and attend additional educational sessions weekly over the course of the year.
They are highly knowledgeable peers, who help you interpret university policies and procedures, offer tips when exploring possible majors/minors, and are invaluable when it comes to selecting courses during registration.
They offer academic guidance and keep you informed about important campus deadlines and events. Overall, your peer advisor is your student success coach ready to help you work smarter, mot harder. You can also count on your PA to be caring and friendly face on campus!
