Sometimes there are questions that you may not want to ask your adviser like: "Can you help me figure out my Degree Progress Report?" "Is this really a hard course?" or "What happens if I turn in an assignment late to my chemistry professor?"
You can get the answers to those questions and more from
students who have been through the TU experience already. These
SAAs are upper class Towson students who are specially trained
to assist students with their advising questions
We provide students with quick, accurate information about courses, General Education requirements, and Core Curriculum Requirements.
You can meet with a student academic adviser in the Academic Advising Center Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Student advisers are specially selected and trained upper-class students.
