• Help or referrals in dealing with personal issues
• Managing time
• Educational planning

Transfer information and curriculum guides are available for students in the Counseling Center. Counselors and staff meet regularly with senior colleges and universities to establish and maintain transfer agreements that will assist students in making a seamless transition to the senior institutions. Information on career certificate and associate degree programs is also available in the Counseling Center.

Student orientation programs are designed to provide essential information and help ease the transition to college for entering students. Counselors offer several half-day orientation during the spring and summer and condensed versions before classes begin. All entering students must attend one of these sessions before registering for classes.

Students who work closely with a counselor for educational planning are more likely to succeed in college and achieve their educational goals. Counselors can be seen by appointment except during the Walk-in Registration period before classes begin. Schedule early for best results.

The counseling staff offers a two-credit career development class, HDS110, Career Decision Making.
