Peer Study Assistant (PSA)

Peer Study Assistants provide the same support as Peer Tutors, but are currently enrolled in the same course as the students who need support. Please submit an online application through NC Engage. Before your application can be approved, we will obtain a recommendation from your professor that you are performing well in the class.

Please note, preference is given to a Peer Tutor if one is available.
