Peer Advising

For all MCD Biology Peer Advising, you do not need to meet with a specific Advisor or Peer Advisor.

Peer Advisor Appointments

Advising Appointments are scheduled through Slug Success in advance, you will then be provided with a Zoom link in your appointment confirmation and reminder messages from Slug Success. Follow the Zoom link at the time of the appointment, you will be placed in a virtual waiting room until the Host invites you in. 

NOTE: If you are in Slug Success and do not see MCD/MCD Advising on the list of offices you can schedule an appointment with, this means our appointments are full – We open our appointments 2 weeks in advance.

Please use Peer Advisor Appointments for:

  • Academic Planning – in-depth questions or help with creating an academic plan
  • Choosing Classes
Schedule an appointment via Slug Success with one of our Peer Advisors:
