The Undergraduate Advising Fellows are a team of peer mentors who serve as additional resources for all MCAS students throughout the academic year. Our highly trained Advising Fellows help students with a range of issues, including course registration, EagleApps, extracurricular involvement opportunities, academic planning, and transitioning to college.

30-minute one-on-one appointments with an Advising Fellow are great if you have general questions about how to...

  • Use EagleApps to add, drop, or search for courses
  • Start building a four-year plan
  • Read your degree audit 
  • Pull your own what-if (simulated) degree audit
  • Connect with a peer to chat about your transition to BC
