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 to 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 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.

Student LIFE Line

Have a good question about TU? An answer is just a phone call away. LIFE Line is a telephone line created to answer your questions about the university. LIFE Line is staffed and ready to assist callers 8:30 a.m. - 5 p.m., Monday - Friday. After 5 p.m. and on weekends, you can leave a voice-mail message, and you will get a response the next business day. The LIFE Line number is 410-704-LIFE (5433).

Meet the Parents
The Towson University Parents Association is an advocacy group that seeks to strengthen the relationship between parents, students and the university.  Representatives will be on campus August 28 to answer questions and provide information. Visit the Parents Association Welcome Tent at the University Union for a snack. Parents are invited to join the association and can pick up an application at the tent, request one via e-mail, parent@towson.edu, or by visiting the Parents Association Web site.


Finding On-Campus Employment
If you are seeking employment while you are a student at TU, consider working on campus. Great part-time employment opportunities are available in a variety of areas, including academic departments, Student Affairs, Event and Conference Services and the day care center. Work as a lab assistant in the chemistry department, a marketing assistant in the athletics department or a cashier in the University Store. On-campus jobs are not only a convenient way to make some extra cash, but they can also give your resume a boost. For on-campus job information, visit the Career Center online or contact The Career Center at 410-704-2233.
