Counseling Services

Counselors are available to give you guidance with personal issues, help you work through academic concerns, and provide support as you work towards achieving your goals. Share your challenges with an experienced and qualified member of our counseling staff.

WHAT IS A COUNSELOR?

While an advisor helps you decide which classes to take to meet your academic goals, a counselor helps you work through any issues that might interfere with your studies.

WHAT CAN A COUNSELOR DO FOR YOU?

Counselors work with you to resolve concerns about your life inside and outside of the classroom. They can assist with a variety of issues and concerns, as well as provide information on topics, tactics, and resources that can help you succeed.
