Peer Advising

Sometimes you just need another student's perspective! Peer Advisors use their experience and training to help other OWU students navigate their academic options.

Topics for Peer Advising

  • Choosing gen eds
  • Exploring majors
  • Understanding which classes "count" (hint: it's usually more than you think!)
  • Gaining registration and class-search tips
  • Checking your progress toward degree requirements
  • Developing a game plan for meeting with a faculty advisor or attending office hours
