Peer Academic Consulting
The Tutoring and Testing Center offers Peer Academic Consulting (PAC), a personalized service to enhance your academic success. During sessions, you'll meet one-on-one with a consultant to address your specific needs and goals, giving you an edge in the classroom and beyond.
Peer Academic Consultants are not academic advisers. Advising creates degree-required course plans, while PAC supports those plans with detailed academic success goals. We focus on the "nitty-gritty" of your academics to ensure you meet your expectations. We recommend both advising and coaching for a comprehensive plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
This is determined by the student and the PAC, although we would like to see a student more than one time. The best PAC sessions typically occur when a student sets up appointments on a consistent basis throughout the semester.
Bring your planner or calendar, class schedule, work schedule if you have a part-time job, and the times for any other weekly commitments that you have. You should also bring assignment descriptions, syllabi, class notes, questions, or whatever you would like to work on with your PAC.
The Tutoring and Testing Center is located in the Student Affairs Building on the second floor.
It’s up to you! You can select a specific PAC through the Navigate system when signing up for your appointment. We’re a team, so if you’d like to interact with a new personality or style, you are welcome to. Learn more about our Peer Academic Consultants by viewing their profiles, above.
