HELP
Sometimes there are questions that we don't want to ask our advisers-- like, "Is this a really hard course?" or "What happens if I turn in an assignment late for that chemistry professor?" Wouldn't it be easier to get the lowdown from another student-- someone who's already been through it? At Towson, you can do just that with the HELP program, which provides peer advising so that every last person can get every last question answered. Just stop by the Academic Advising Center to talk with a student academic adviser.
