Academic Advising

Student Fellows 2016-2017

The Academic Advising Center at Boston College supports

students in the College of Arts and Sciences as they make

decisions about their academic careers, explore the resources

available to them, and maximize their experience at

Boston College.

The Student Fellows in the Academic Advising

Center are a supplement to the Advising Center to serve as an additional resource for

both MCAS students and Staff Advisors.

Students can schedule appointments with a fellow to get peer insight or for

logistical support regarding the academic experience at

Boston College.
