Who are Peer Advisors?
Business Peer Advisors are upper-level business students who offer valuable insights into the Trulaske College of Business — including tips on enrollment, upper-level admission, course experiences, internship opportunities, and more. During busy times like Early Registration, they can help you with scheduling questions such as finding general education courses (like humanities, lab sciences, and writing intensives), identifying unrestricted business classes, determining which courses you qualify for (including online options), and building a schedule based on your advisor's recommendations.
Walk-In Hours
The peer advising office hours are Monday–Thursday, at 104 Cornell Hall from 8:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. and 1:00–4:00 p.m. — no appointment needed!
