MESC is the "Student Affairs Office" (SAO) for engineering students; other faculties may have their own equivalent SAO. MESC is a one-stop-shop for advising, peer tutoring, scholarships and awards, exchange and study abroad programs, counselling, orientation, administrative questions, and many other student services. The office is responsible for administering policies on student records, student assessment, and implementing the accreditation process on programs. Students are encouraged to contact MESC in all matters related to their student experience, and is also a primary resource for information on other services within the Faculty and across the University.

===Advising===

Advising and assisting students in program planning and in the proper selection of courses, so that all students understand the education goals of the University and follow programs that coincide with their talents, interests and goals.

===Peer Tutoring===

The [[EPTS|Engineering Peer Tutoring Service]] is sponsored by the Faculty of Engineering, and is designed to help Year 0 and Year 1 students. EPTS has been around for over 40 years, assisting the transition from high school and CEGEP to university. Tutorial sessions are conducted daily in the McGill Engineering Student Centre (MESC) on the ground floor of the Frank Dawson Adams Building, Room 6B. Their schedule can be found [[EPTS#Schedule|here]].
