Undergraduate Fellows

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

Academic Planning Week 2023

 

What is Academic Planning Week?

Academic Planning Week is a week of events designed primarily for first-year and sophomore MCAS students, but open to all students. APW programs provide opportunities for students to engage in conversations, find tools to help them in exploring and discovering their interests, and connect students to resources, people, and services around campus. Most programs require an RSVP for food headcount purposes, but feel free to bring a friend!
