Supportive Counseling & Student Services

Is there someone who will help me pick out the right courses?
Admissions counselors are available to assist you with your adjustment to college, direct you to appropriate academic services and help you in any way they can. Every enrolled student is given an academic advisor who will help them plan their course schedule each semester.

Is there special counseling for returning women?
Prospective women students are encouraged to attend a Taking the First Step Workshop or meet with a counselor to discuss their concerns about returning to school and how to apply and register for classes. Once enrolled and attending classes, the Women's Forum is a special counseling service available to women students. A special orientation for women accepted to the College, a variety of workshops of interest to women, and academic and personal counseling are available.
