It is important to meet with a counselor or advisor before you register for courses each semester. They will help keep you on track as you work towards completing your degree. Both counselors and advisors can assist you in developing both short- and long-term academic plans tailored to your unique needs. We can help you understand:
- Academics (academics, registration, transfer)
- Career (exploration, assessments)
- Personal (stress, relationship concerns, time management)
- English as a Second Language (ESOL classes, testing, advising)
