Peer Advising

Honors College Peer Advisors serve as a resource for all members of the Honors College. Peer Advisors are current Honors students from all of the majors who offer tailored guidance and advice to students throughout their time at EMU - as they progress through coursework, Honors College curriculum, campus involvement, support services and leadership opportunities. Peer Advisors do not serve as a student’s official academic advisor. Instead Peer Advisors serve as initial point of contact for students’ personal, academic or co-curricular questions or concerns. This can include advising as it relates to students’ transition to the college including how to declare a major, finding Honors requirements, registration processes, policies/procedures and overall academic success. 

Peer Advisors work closely with the Academic Advising & Student Services staff members in order to provide accurate information and advice about majors, course selections, general education courses, Honors pathways, and policies and procedures in the Honors College and the university.

Peer advisors are not:

• Professional academic advisor or faculty member
• Tutors
• Counselor or Therapist
• Recommender for "easy" courses or "good" instructors
