We are very excited to announce that we have begun a Peer Advising program at ISSS. We have several students, both Graduate and Undergraduate students, who will serve as Peer Advisors for the CISS. Each Peer Advisor will hold weekly office hours, situated near the front desk of the CISS.
Things you might wish to discuss with Peer Advisors:
On-campus resources
Tips from fellow international students
Help utilizing course registration platform
Navigating UConn computer systems
Local and regional travel advice
Tips for getting involved socially at UConn
... and more!
For questions about immigration advising, you should still reach out to your ISSS Advisor and for questions about course selection and other academic concerns, please reach out to your academic advisor. The weekly Peer Advising schedule for the fall semester will be as follows:
